Prad Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi all,I have started a project to look into improving motobike security at owners homes, by designing a more durable and secure design than to what is on offer already in the market. I am studying a design engineering degree and to make sure i am designing the right product for bikers - you!So to ensure that it's fitting with the market i have created a survey that i would be very grateful for as many to take part in. The only personal information I need is your age and the county you like in within the UK. Will take a maximum of 5 mins to complete!!!Many thankshttps://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TONC36/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofferz Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Done. Well constructed survey I'd say. Mobile users: drag the lock type boxes into order or importance, don't try changing the drop down numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prad Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Done Do we get to trial this new security measure when it's available  Haha im hoping that if i get the attention of manufacturers or security companies, that I can actually be able to bring it to market for you guys!Thank you all for taking part in the survey, it's overwhelming with the amount of responses I've had, so thank you again!

dynax Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Good luck with it, but unless it is 100% reliable you may struggle to even get a prototype made let alone have a full production run.My main concern is the motorised electronic part of it, if the electronics fail while in use is there a manual release function, and if so can this be overidden while the unit is in operation, just one of many questions i would need answers to before spending money on a gadget, and i love gadgets as long as they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 What's a bike if not a big gadget holder? One thing you need to consider is the size of the bike. In my case, having a heavy beast I don't see the need to have heavy duty security.Another consideration is where is the bike usually kept, being on the Scottish countryside I will hardly need anything heavier than a twig to keep it safe. The busiest this street gets are thursdays when the bin lorry comes around or some muppet gets lost As [mention]dynax[/mention] says, all well and good when electronics work, things will rapidly go pear shape as soon they fail and you get stuck with a locked bike away from home. I can't imagine myself in southern Italy or any other country having to justify to an italian/local why I need him to disable my security devices.

Â Going by the OP's first post it for home use or at least where the bike is mainly kept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm always a bit weary when electronics are involved...Anything that will use a transmitter and a receiver can have this result.https://jalopnik.com/thieves-steal-a-car-in-20-seconds-by-remotely-cloning-t-1826451687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
