17-12-2008 12:46 MRW 0296342017 PRGE8 00 Simple Motorcycle Simulator Overview 0 SWhen people learn to drive a car, instructors sit beside the student, giving C instruction and feedback. Driving instructors often have vehicles that have dual o controls and even where this is not the case, the instructor can reach the hand brake in the case of an emergency.
In the case of a motorcycle, all instruction has to be given before a new rider can take off. Once they do take off, if they get something wrong the consequences can range from embarrassing to dangerous. It is also very hard to give feedback whilst the student is riding away from you.
Cl Here is a list of sample tasks that it can be used for in training a learner or inexperienced rider: S1. How to get on and off S2. Riding position 3. How to start the engine 00 4. Using clutch and selecting 1st gear 0 5. How to take off 0 6. How to change gears both up and down and finding neutral cl 7. How to use switch gear blinkers, horn, high and low beam, kill switch etc 8. How to apply front and rear brakes 9. How to blip the throttle for changing down gears Simulating emergency stopping There is no need for it to simulate leaning as most people can ride a push bike so understand how to balance something with two wheels. What is difficult is to use the clutch, gears, throttle and brakes sometimes all at the same time and that is the reason for this simple simulator.
The device can be used in a number of ways: 1. As an aid for established learn-to-ride companies which currently provide compulsory learner rider courses so they can speed up the learning process 2. By independent instructors and for hiring out on an hourly basis 3. By bike shops where a session on the device can be sold as a service for new riders or those wanting to try motorcycle riding before they commit to buying a motorcycle 4. At trade shows or any public function such as a fete so the public can see what it is like to ride a motorcycle Version 1.4 Simu-Cycle Page 1 of 4 COMS ID No: ARCS-217415 Received by IP Australia: Time 13:51 Date 2008-12-17 17-12-2008 12:46 MfW 0296342017 PAGE9 Description It will use a real "learner legal" motorcycle (as defined by RTA in NSW, Australia) that is held in place on a box that contains heavy rollers.
The device bears some similarity to a dynameter (a tool for testing the performance of motorcycles) but has two rollers, one for each of the front and rear wheels with a link between the two via a heavy duty chain.
It consists of a box on which the bike stands vertically with each wheel resting on a drum within the box. The motorcycle is held in place by locking the front wheel at the axle (customised axle) so that It cannot fall over.
The rear wheel is held by "tie downs" so the bike can move back and forth slightly but not sideways. This allows the suspension to operate when braking allowing the student to feel the effect it has on the bike.
Relation to other patents There are a number of patents that try to simulate the experience of riding a motorcycle. A number of them do not use a real motorcycle so would not give a realistic simulation. A few do and this device varies from them as described below.
US 3,686,776 (DAHL) 29th August 1972 This device varies greatly in the way the motorcycle is held. It is far more complicated and I believe virtually impossible to build as described.
US 4,887,967 (LETOVSKY) 19th December 1989 This device is even more complicated than the one above and a more complicated method of holding the bike but does not have any drums to simulate taking off or braking.
US 3,526,042,(NELSON) 1st September 1970 This device is the closest but still holds the motorcycle in a totally different manner and again tries to simulate turning and leaning.

Claims (1)
17-12-2008 12:47 MFW 0296342017 Claims: 1. A simple motorcycle simulator which is capable of training people to ride a real motorcycle except for leaning and turning, said simulator comprising a. A real motorcycle fixed vertically in place by a customlsed front axle so as to not lean b. a box that contains two rollers upon which the motorcycle rests on with the rear roller driven by the motorcycles rear wheel that in turn drives the front wheel. This allows the simulation of braking c. these rollers are linked by a heavy chain. d. two tie downs are attached to the rear of the motorcycle on both sides so as to allow the motorcycle to have slight movement back and forth but not sideways e. an enclosure of both front and rear wheels to ensure the safety of the rider and anyone near the simulator 2. The device of Claim 1 may include a step on the side of the device to assist the rider in getting on and a ramp at the back to assist in loading the motorcycle onto the box. 3. The device of Claim 1 may use a toothed belt rather than drums and chain. 4. The device of Claim 1 may be built on top of a purpose built trailer so the device can be transported on a regular basis. The device of Claim 1 could have a computer and large screen added to the front to simulate riding scenarios.
