Good ideas to build
Hi everyone!
The last release of the Center Hub Steering MOTO2 3D (iges) is online!
To get it you must register in www.lamoto2.es, download filezilla or other FTP client.
ftp.lamoto2.es
Password: hoya.cadu
Be carefull if Filezilla tries to set a port number. The port box must be clear.
Go to archivos3D/moto24_09_11.zip
And you got it!
Please keep sharing your designs and ideas!
Some time ago Pepo Rosell, owner of Radical Ducati, told me that he was working in a beautiful new bike. And here it is, the new RAD02 Corsa Evo where you can find the carbon fiber solo seat that I designed and modelled in clay for him. Now it’s retouched to fill some slight bumps and looks really streamlined. I hope you like this bike and remember that you can buy the seat that can be used in some of the standard Ducati models. And of course you can also buy the bike if you like it! You can see the rest of the pictures in Radical Ducati Blog.
I’ve also found a new video about the RAD02 Corsa Evo PURSANG. Enjoy it!
Unfortunately I’m back from holydays, back to satellites and back to bikes! Even if I love the work I do, I prefer travelling and having a good time with my friends and my girl. Well, I’m human…
But after this short summer I’ve got a lot of things to do and some interesting news.
And talking about humans… Here’s a new human powered helicopter to beat the Sikorsky prize. One of my favourites challenges. The approach to the project it’s far from the idea I have to beat it, but it’s obviously good because it’s a new world record. If you work on the hover that offers the ground effect you won’t take off over 3 meters tall as the prize claims. But anyway I think that these guys have taken a good way just by attempting it. If they continue developing this helicopter they will reach a difficult record to beat.
You can read more here, in the article I’ve found in Gizmag.
Don’t miss the previous article about human powered helicopters and other vehicles.
At this moment we have no time and no money to attempt to win this prize but we’re working in other interesting prize that you’ll know soon!
Now motorbikes and e-bikes are the main focus of our work.
Don’t miss the latest pictures in www.lamoto2.es of our Center Hub Steering Moto2 and please share your ideas.
Here is the official web of the project
Enjoy your coffee!
The new Vyrus MOTO2 with Centre Hub Steering it’s on the racetrack and it seems that couls be the surprise for the next year.
Do you think it will race the next year Moto2 worl championship? Do you think it can win races? Watch this videos and please send your opinions, as you can imagine they are very important for us in this case.
The only thing I can say in this moment it’s that looks as a master piece of engineering.

As you probably had noticed, if you used to come to this café, it has been closed for a while. We’ve been really busy with the LAMOTO2 project and with other projects that unfortunately are paused (hope that not stopped)
Here in Spain you can read monthly about our progress but not abroad. So I wanted to show at least a part of what we’re doing.
First of all this little video.
Take a seat and enjoy our delicious coffee!
I have prepared a mini video to show the idea of the system that carries our moto2. In yellow you can see the vertical arm. The thick lines is the part and then up thinner line the real steering axis. The pink line is the top of the steering column of the system, which looks like a fork. When the system compresses the top is “folded”. Therefore there is a ball joint in the joint, to absorb this inclination. Initially the diference is 2 degrees, not zero on purpose. To ensure that the “fold ” goes forward and not backward. At the end it arrives to 7 degrees of tilt for a compression of 120mm. These 7 degrees is absorbed by the green piece that goes in the front of the bike (this is why is a plate) plate that flexes the 7 degrees but kept intact the steer stiffness, work in shear effort. Another thing you see is that the center of the wheel follows almost the same path as a 12 degrees fork. Thus the pilot feel much like a conventional bike and trust the bike from the start.
With this trick, the mechanism, that is an evolution from the patent of the D1200R Demonstener solve the problem of getting a direct steering to the Hub Center Steering System. In this case applied to a system derived from the Difazio. This was one of the desired conditions in the project (no Bump-Steering). If you look you will see that history is an evolution of our prehistoric V2R StreetDumper
