[box]How it Works[/box]
SHUTTLE-BIKE kit ® is made of a set of “fixed” clamps universally adaptable to the different bikes on the market with circular section frame. Permanently fastened on the frame, they do not hinder the use of the mountain-bike on the road. These universal clamps come with a series of plastic bushes that, other to prevent damages on the frame paint, adapt to any diameter.
These clamps are designed to be quickly fastened on the SHUTTLE-BIKE® frame without using any spanner or tool.
It must be stressed that the SHUTTLE-BIKE® can be assembled in about 10 minutes, being its technique extremely streamlined.
The floats can be blown up by means of a small pump especially designed and patented for the SHUTTLE-BIKE®. This pump will allow you to inflate the floats by pedalling on the spot, since the bike, thanks to the kit frame, is lifted a few centimetres from the ground.
The equipment is made af a set of assembling quick clutch elements that form a floating structure to which the bike is anchored. It then becomes a floating vehicle having an excellent manoeuvrability even in wave or stream conditions.
The propelling device movement is produced by a roller that adheres to rear wheel.
From there the movement is conveyed, by means of a wire, to the propeller placed beneath the front wheel. Such a propelling drive allows an excellent manoeuvrability through the steering action. Then by turning the handlebar 90°, you can rotate the Shuttle-bike on its axis and reverse direction.
Given the roller position that adheres to the rear tyre, it is moreover possible to exploit the different bikes’ speeds of the gear box according to one’s own abilities and the type of path chosen.
