...errr, "stabilizer" wheels... seen here:

Probably terribly convenient, though might be seen as frockish...

Thats Aussiejester, and yeah, he does need those for medical reasons.

AJ,

Is the range of lift adjustable on your stabilizers? I think I'd want them to be a cm or 2 higher for some of the turns I make. My 6yo loves getting low in the turns, so I accommodate him when I have prime surface.

It looks like your landing gear work perfectly in operation. Anything you would change if you had it to do over? I'm still up in the air about whether to go with motorized landing gear, spring-loaded foot-operated manual landing gear, or just a hole for my feet with a wind break to minimize road spray entering. I should have spent more time hammering out a rain e-bike during dry season.

Bet he's loving getting to lean into corners again! Nice work AJ. Like the hat too.

Yes they are John, the rose end joints/threaded rod attaching the 'boomerang'
shaped pivot and the stabilisers is where you can adjust height mate.
For me they work very well as i can provide minimal leg support when stopped
if need be, this is usually on sloped surface, there are many refinements
that could be made, you could make them independent thus lowering down on
uneven surfaces would level the bike out, you would need some pressure sensing setup i guess?
Also pneumatics rather than linear actuators would be the shot IMHO...OH...and the
bike can be laid over further than you would want to lean it without
the wheels touching too John, they aren't raised tight up in that video
by the look.. They are also EXTREMELY handy things for when your working
on the bike in workshop, i have no hope moving a two wheel bike around
but with the stabilisers i can wheel and position the bike with ease, very very happy with how
they worked anywayz.
