Contes Engineering Athos Prototype Construction and Testing
This video shows everything from the birth of the Athos quad idea all the way through prototype testing. This video is geared towars the tech centric viewer that likes to see a great idea come to live and a little taste of each phase of the process. Watch closely and you will see the initial hand drawn sketh of the Athos quad concept, initial CAD modeling and simulation, actual prototype fabrication steps, and video of the first test rides.

Independent suspension for all 4 wheels ... freaking awesome.
I've been working on a similar ATV bike ideal for the last three years in my spare time. And I knew there had to be somebody out there thinking like me that would beat me to the punch. Oh well,that's life I'll keep on working on mind though. And I must say well done it's really a nice design. I have three different virgins of mind BMX, Montain & Racer. This is whats going to put America back on top real inventors of things that will soon be needed. And it's better than walking great work man.

So how was it?
Really cool design! Good work 😎👍
I definitely wish I had one of those that's beyond awesome!!!!
haha, i thought of the same thing when i was younger. good to see someone's actually making an effort to make this a real thing xD
I love the desing, is amazing!!!
Great riding a readville! Sick design as well! I would totally ride that!👍
Awesome Quad. It' obvious a lot of engineering, and $$ went into its development. I know You will have a market when it goes into production.
Dear, Please upload some more videos. I am really impress of what you have made. Its more than what I call amazing......
this is actually soo cool!
Wow, pretty awesome!
Ok now these are cool. Well done .
looks really awesome
Very Cool Andy!
Dude this thing seriously BADASS
I really love it. Owning one is one of my dream.
Looks awesome
good job and good angel of camera
Dude, this Athos Quad is awesome. But I think it will be expensive. But nice!Love It !😍
Ok, doing a bunny hop with this is EXTREMELY impressive IMO O_O
ive been going on about making exactly this for a long time now. i want one. you guys already put in the work so yeah, no sense in me doing it too. killed it.

Guys, me too...
I really quite like it :D
Way cooler than any quad! You guys have to sell these to stores!
Очень круто!!!Я сам мечтаю о такой технике...правда руки всё не доходят ((( Огромный лайк вам за труды и процветания вашему каналу )))
you guys are my heros
damn that looks really fun
Very nice
Wowwwww!! Amazing!!
NICE JOB
Awesome congrats
thats so nice. i will must have it
That. Is. Awesome.
eager to know whether it hit production,crazy cool project
The use of raw billet-made parts always tells people that you weren't F-ing around. I love that chit. The use of red paint on some parts of the frame was a smart move too. Impressive overall. Well-designed. Well-constructed. Well-ridden. And I gotta say... well... I really liked the Nike's that dude had on too
that's badass man
so cool!
such a cool idea ... make a DH one !!
me gusto tu proyecto
Sweet! Is it commercially available? I want one. I hope it's not to expensive to buy
love it!
That's awesome
I think I saw this at SAE BAJA Kansas (Pittsburgh State) I think. Someone had added an ebike motor to it (middrive perhaps) and were tooling around the pit area. Every bit as cool in real life as in this video. I really love the idea of a silent, lightweight (compared to an ATV) pedal/electric offroad vehicle. With my middrive bike I've been able to see all sorts of wildlife b/c they don't hear me coming. Also, people don't mind an electric bike as much as an ATV or ICE powered dirt bike b/c of its silence.
Excelente!!!
Can we do a review of this if possible in the UK? Incredible
is this still in the works or has it fallen through?
I want one!! That is most cool. I have been wanting to build an electric four wheel bike for a long time and this would be so easy to put a little motor on.
The test pilot is a pretty good rider- I've ridden that skatepark plenty on my all-mountain bike' and haven't taken a couple of those lines, or gotten that much air! He makes it look too easy.

db rides I’ve ridden reedville skate park as well it is pretty impressive
You should enter the 2014 NASA rover challenge!!
Have you thought about building one of these with the Wesll leaning/tilting suspension?
very special! any plans or the Athos is in the market? Thank you
What kind of hubs are in the rear wheels? How does the axle engage the wheels? Can I go from 20" to 26" wheels without any major modifications to the frame/suspension/steering? How would a change in wheel size affect performance and handling characteristics? These are just some of the things I have to figure out, not to mention 'where do I get the chromolly? Is there a machine shop where can I do my cutting, bending, shaping and welding or will I have to give them the dimensions and hope they shape and weld everything properly?' My design shares some characteristics with this 4 wheel MX but the rest of it is very different (and probably several lbs. heavier too). Excellent independent suspension-pedal quad by the way.
this is so dope i must have one

To Whom it may concern: Can add 2 disc at rear, just like the front disc, and also can remove middle disc into motorized rear middle wheel?
I live this design but Goddamn that thing looks like over engineerings definition... BEAUTIFUL frame and amazing work guys, now where can I get one. 😁
awsome
friend that good trike congratulations, where can I that rear differential?
Nice
dat iz owsom :D
Congrats that shit is amazing. I just recently thought of this and had never seen it's I wanna make mine an electric one tho with all kinds of racks n bags around it and a back rack platform in order to make it more of a bad ass bug out vehicle, about 40mph and 130miles of range is what I'm thinking. There's definitely enough space for app that battery!
How do you get the bike wheels to attach to the hub in the rear. What kind of adapters?
Why is it every-time I have a idea it turns out someone else already did it?

FANTASTICO
Have you ever thought about mounting some kind of skid plate across the middle section of the frame for possibly rail slides/and for protection to the frame and the rider so for instance you wouldn't get hung up in some branches laying on the ground or something like that?
Is this on the market already??? Looks pretty cool....
need one!
alucinante
I want one so bad

I still want one! Still not commercially available?
Anyone know what CAD software is being used here? Or the latest equivalent software available in 2020? I'm looking to design a suspension system and need to be able to model the motion pathways of linkages around joints.... Think I've reached the limitations of SketchUp?
sweet ride, nice video, where can I buy one?
This looks awesome but how heavy is it is it light enough to be able to climb a mountain all day
Молодец!! Крутой вело!!
Nice quad! What is that song?
Now that’s a full suspension
4 suspention :O awesome thing!

When are you going to release it or if it's released were can I get one?
Please bring it to Australia!!!
i would actually buy this XD
It's cool and all but what I want to know is are you going to make more and sell it? Because I want one.
How much does this cost?
Hello, did you proceed with the project?
did the rear axle have differential?
Please Reply: I have been wanting something like this for a while, I also had a idea for one but didn't have the tools I needed to build it. So I visited the Athos page on contes engineering and found the Quadricycle, but are they for sale yet and if so where at because I would like to purchase one and if they are not for sale yet when will they be.
Hi, how nice I like your work with the bicycle too much ... I am from Peru. Please could you send me the plans of your project with the 4-wheel bicycl
Why is this not on the market?
Really like the concept, only think that it must be a bit heavy to ride because of the weight and the extra resistance from the wheels. With a small electric motor like they put on those old-people-bikes might make this thing even better xD

OJJVZ There is a company near my place that took the engine for "old-people-bikes" put it on a whole new level! www.aden-sports.com/ If they would attach 4 of those engines to this nice vehicle and make it AWD....CRAZY SHIT!!! :O They should mount the control for the RWD to the right side and the control for the FWD to the left so you could also drift *.* I should defiantly stop thinking about it before wet my pants :'D
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice man :-D
Where i can buy it ?
I so want one of these in 2018
its amazing ! for me
Hey guys iv been building a bicycle chopper for several years now and now i would i would like to turn into a trike with two wheels on the back any ideas ?
This would be a cool alternative to BMX. I'd do both!
Cambiar a español wow I love this super cool I really admire his work a lot, I would love to have one so How much will you tell me for her or for making me a completely new one?
exelente
does it come with a E.T basket on the bars or what.? its not for me if I cant bring E.T along for the ride...
Question. Where can I get one of these?
I would assume there is a lot of added resistance for pedal-power. Very cool, though.
how long did it take to build it?
whats the width on the A-arms or just wheel to wheel width like 4 ft?
where can i get the construction plans ?
il est trop bien
