Training wheels for slow speed riding
|

I have a 85 LTD with 63,000 miles that my buddy rides at times. He has bad knees and drops the bike often. The only damage to the bike so far has been a busted mirror.
I am working on a set of training wheels for the bike and would like to know if anyone has ever seen or used anything like theese. I got the idea from a utube video about the landinggear that was made in new orleans. Here is what I have got so far Bill |

Similar to my idea as to what a set of stabilizer wheels should look like. What are you going to power them with? I very much need a set. The problem to me is the electronics and hydrolics. I don't have much computer knowledge as to application on a device like this. Keep us informed. Thanks.

I have a rocker switch mounted on the left handlebar to operate the system. After everything is working I will make it so it works automaticaly at about 5 mph.
The system is driven by a motor that turns a threaded rod. No hydrolics involved. It takes about 2 sec. to lower or raise the wheels but I need to find a stronger moter. It will not 'right' the bike if leaned over at all. Bill |

Bill,
Did you remove the center stand to mount your device? Could you give the motor a little more leverage by having a longer deployment time? Bob |

What kind of motor are you using? I would think one of the heavy duty electric window motors would work good.... You might also try a scissors jack approach it could give you the leverage you need... |
