We received the load-testing results back today and it passed with flying colors! 

We put Alice through destructive load-testing, and she comfortably supports 225 lbs without any issues at all. It took over 4,500 lbs to bend the frame! 

Unless anyone's planning on carrying an elephant on their Companion Bike Seat, I think we're good!

Factory Update: Gaskets and Reflectors and Load Testing

3/23/2013

0 Comments

 
A quick update on manufacturing from our factory:

We had a snafu shipping the gasket material to China (it took two tries and $100 to send a dollar’s worth of material … awesome) and it only arrived a week ago. However, they’ve been able to source the gasket as well as rear reflectors for the frame, so no issues there. We expect to hear back soon on when they’ll be sending us the next two bike seats for review.

We also received word that the load testing will be complete early next week. We’ll share the results as soon as we receive them!

While finalizing production details with the factory in Shenzhen, we've been working with a friend of Dan's, an artist by the name of Jack Lawrence, to put together illustrations for our installation guide. He just recently finished them all and we've put them here for everyone to check out. He did a really phenomenal job, a testament to his skill as an artist of course. Let us know what you think!
