CFMoto Considers Seatbelts for Bikes
A view of the “seatbelt” thought CFmoto filed not too long ago. Media offered by CycleWorld.Like Crash Bars, However For Your Waist
What ho! Methinks some marque hath conceived of a most placing notion for a security equipment to be employed upon a motorized velocipede!

Between their partnership with KTM, their continuous debut of bikes, and their aggressive aspirations to KEEP punting out bikes, you possibly can’t deny that the corporate has been bending over backward to place two-wheeled choices on our proverbial desk… however seatbelts?
Properly, type of, however not likely. Consider this patent as constructing upon the thought of a seatbelt, solely as an alternative of versatile straps, the rider as an alternative offers with “crash-bars” mounted on the rider’s waist.
The entire level of CFMoto’s patent is to have “a system that holds the rider onto a motorbike solely in particular circumstances, permitting the bike to soak up the vitality of frontal impacts in opposition to laborious objects and stopping riders being thrown off by bumps or laborious braking occasions, however releasing the rider in conditions the place the bike is falling over, or there’s a sideways power through the accident.”

The primary model is a inflexible bar set that connects the hole between the fuel tank and bike tail and snaps into place, and the second set is comparable however no latch – it’s a pivotable perk of driving with CFMoto.
Per regular, Purvis proffers a superb perspective on the entire caboodle:

The latter is a matter that bike firms are wrestling with now as a result of know-how like front-facing radar sensors imply that computerized emergency braking programs are viable from a technical standpoint however not from a sensible one as a result of a motorbike that slams its personal brakes is simply as prone to throw you off as no matter it’s attempting to keep away from.” – Ben Purvius, “Seatbelts for Bikes?!.” (CycleWorld) |
