BIKE EVALUATION SERVICE?
Why develop a bike, the cost of tooling up and marketing without checking over it by the experts in composite failure?
We recently provided an evaluation for a new gulf stream European bike brand which was doomed to failure before it even got out of the gates. Many small but critical adjustments were introduced that achieved them an ADVANCED + certification by Zedler bicycle technology certification in Germany.
More than 13 years experience in composite bike failures provide valuable information when developing a new bike design. No brand should miss this step.
Consider the thousands of models which have been manufactured, tested and released to the market which have failed in different ways. The result of design oversight, manufacture issues, Paint process inefficiencies as well as inconclusive testing can all lead to damaging brand reputation and escalating warranty costs. Why not ask us? We have seen just about every good and bad idea across a decade or more.
These appraisals are borne out of the enquiries from companies or regional dealerships who are looking for answers to failures and new design appraisals. We are very honoured to help. The cost of not doing this can be very high indeed!
