    I suspect that the intended application for these things is indeed road bikes.
    Agreed, and therefore fucking dangerous

    Reality is it would be dangerous on whatever its fitted to as I'm sure you would agree. Glad to see its been removed, just hope no unsuspecting people bought any thinking that they would be a good idea.

    you read the blurb?

    The Ultra stopped at 35 mph in 27 feet. That is a whole lot faster than any car can stop. Next we tested at 45 mph. Panman brought his Ultra to a stop in 34 feet. The is less than a car length for each 10 miles per hour. Again, far superior to any car or truck.
    Now installed, we were prepared for the next phase of our test. First speed, 35 miles per hour. (With the TCB) The bike stopped in 17 feet! That compares with 27 feet without the TCB Braking System. Damn, that was impressive. We had to repeat that speed just to make sure. Same results! Panman was starting to believe.
    Thats 56kmhr to 0 in 5.2m, maybe skidmark got a job over there!
