Overall consideration as to how best install above technical requirements onto a bicycle for:-<\/p>\n
1. Ease of use and reliablity of functioning.<\/p>\n
2. Secure attachment and to prevent damage, theft and vandalism.<\/p>\n
3. 100% waterproof.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0Safe and balanced cycling<\/a>\u00a0on any inclination of slope, presuming cycling to remain on-road.<\/p>\n Outcomes\u00a0:<\/p>\n Marvelo Bikes<\/a>\u00a0will be second hand and of varied frame size and style.<\/p>\n Optimum equipment load on bike limited to 3Kg. (possible variation to 4kg if necessary).<\/p>\n To avoid placing this bulk on the handlebars.<\/p>\n Ideal position for bulk of weight is at bike fulcrum, i.e. bottom of cycle post, as near pedalling mechanism as poss.<\/p>\n Attachment design to use boss fittings(threaded holes) in bike frame where possible.<\/p>\n (Bikes come with these holes for attachment of peripherals such as water bottles etc)<\/p>\n Also to consider distance apart of pedals for width of \u2018box\u2019\/ \u2018 bag\u2019 attachment to frame, to avoid cyclists kicking it.<\/p>\n Due to outdoor nature of activity, all equipment needs to be 100% waterproofed.<\/p>\n Therefore most efficient, to where possible place all gear inside weatherproof skin that sits within the triangle of Bike frame beneath the crossbar.<\/p>\n A\u00a0Marvelo Bike<\/a>\u00a0needs to run on a battery system that can be recharged over night. Ideal would be to run for 8 hours of continuous use (considering work available to visitors from 10am to 6pm). However battery power required to manage this would require house sized batteries. Most likely we could manage 6 hours battery power within weight and budget restrictions.<\/p>\n Power requirements of project are currently too high to enable pedal power to drive the system, although this possibility will be researched in Marvelo MkII.<\/p>\n Most efficient to run\u00a0Audio<\/a>\u00a0and Hive box systems off same power source. Power requirements for Hive box negligible in relation to Audio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overall consideration as to how best install above technical requirements onto a bicycle for:- 1.
