THE PURPOSE OF THIS AREA IS TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURRON LIGHT BEE. YOU'RE ENCOURAGED TO POST IDEA'S, CONCEPTS AND TECHNICAL MATERIAL HERE TO HELP DEVELOP YOUR IDEA, SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GAIN VALUABLE FEEDBACK . THIS MAY INCLUDE THINGS SUCH AS HAND DRAWN SKETCHES, CAD MODELS/RENDERINGS, MANUFACTURED PROTOTYPES ETC.
ALTHOUGH SOME TANGENTS ARE INEVITABLE, THIS AREA SHOULD REMAIN FOCUSED ON R&D AND DISCUSSIONS OF THAT NATURE RELATING TO THE CONCEPTS, IDEA'S BROUGHT UP IN THIS THREAD.
- NO OVERT MARKETING OF PRODUCTS... if you're working on a concept, work through it on this thread, until you feel you are ready to offer a final product and put a simple link to your website if you do eventually create a sell-able item. ie, this is not a store, just don't keep plugging your product over and over again. Go to the vendor BUY/SELL area instead.
- NO OVERT BASHING OF SOMEONE ELSES PRODUCT OR IDEA
- KEEP THINGS FOCUSSED ON R&D AND RELATED TO CONTENT IN THIS THREAD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
-TRY NOT TO COPY SOMEONE ELSE, WE ALL COME UP WITH SIMILAR IDEA'S AT SOME POINT SO IF YOU SEE SOMEONE IS WORKING ON AN IDEA THAT YOU HAD, EITHER PUT YOUR OWN SPIN ON IT AS BEST YOU CAN, OR ASK TO JOIN THEIR TEAM. IF CONFLICTS ARISE, WORK IT OUT THROUGH THE PM SYSTEM.
- THE ULTIMATE GOAL HERE IS TO CROUD SOURCE IDEAS, TROUBLESHOOT PROBLEMS AND ENGINEER SOLUTIONS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO TANGIBLE PRODUCTS FOR SURRON LIGHT BEE, THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN BUY, TRADE, SHARE ETC. HAVING OPTIONS ROCKS.

Alright, so I'll start this off by attaching some renders of the FIRST modeled component I made of the Surron... the foot peg bracket plates...I did them because I thought they'd be easy, little did I know how much drafting and awkward cavities they had...total PIA to model. Anyway.... I'm thinking this would be a nice simple candidate for an upgraded CNC version....what does everyone think? If I designed a CNC plate, is this something you think would be a worthwile endeavour? I'm thinking thicker, stronger BUT lighter, and well....anodized ofcourse, your choice of color..... any other feature we could add to this?
Keep in mind, when enough people agree on a design and want it, the per unit price just goes down
