Prototype 1

Prototype 1

We visited Sander again to test a first prototype and to ask him a few questions about materials and other possible ideas.

Sander showed his new bike. At the moment, each of his brakes and gears are on both sides of his steering wheel. But he said that he will move them to the right side.

Testing:

We tested one prototype. He was satisfied with how a simple intermediate piece was already very comfortable. Because his hand was attached and elevated, he already had a safer and more stable feeling. When he tested the prototype, he started cyling much better. Sander said it had to be attached a little stronger to his hand and that it should be a little bit wider, but after all it was only the first prototype.

Sander told us that this prototype was simple, but still very effective. Anyway, he did experience some problems with it too. The prototype was a bit too small and the attachment to his hand also had to be a bit stronger. Because of this, he didn't always have a very safe feeling. He was very excited about the idea though.
