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.

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

@joeaverager 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

@cliffcampbell8827 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@licustoms 10 жыл бұрын

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?

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

@carverevolition1 9 жыл бұрын

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
