Measuring Extreme Forces on a Snow Trike

KRYPTON instruments from Dewesoft again proved that they are perfect units for tests where size and ruggedness matter. This time it was not just cold, but also fast and extremely bumpy.

WHY?

DEWESoft® helped local startup company called Hillstrike to test their Kickstarter product - a snow-trike that brings the entire experience of pure downhill biking to the snow. The purpose of this tests was to make sure that their trike is not just easy to ride but also engineered to withstand extreme forces that occur during the ride on the bike frame.  Check out the video below to see how they did it!

Three KRYPTON 3xSTG modules were mounted on a trike to measure bike frame loads. The entire system was powered by a DS-BP2i battery pack. KRYPTON modules acquired signals from half-bridge configured strain gauges. Bending and axial loads were recorded to aid the design optimisation of the chassis in order to reduce its weight and ensure safe use for the customer.
