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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

There's definitely enough space for app that battery!
