The Market Gap

Beyond Guesswork and Race Complexity

Premium bicycles are frequently ridden with miscalibrated suspensions and improper tire pressures, leaving performance and comfort on the table.

01

The "Trial & Error" Trap

Most riders rely purely on personal feel. Incorrect sag and uncoordinated rebound damping cause premature fatigue, arm pump, and loss of traction over rough terrain.

02

Inaccessible Pro Telemetry

Traditional data acquisition systems cost over €1,500, require linear potentiometers, bulky wiring harnesses, and advanced trackside engineering skills to interpret raw graphs.

03

The FloatRyde Solution

Lightweight, non-invasive wireless nodes. Multi-point synchronous acquisition calibrated against scientific vibration standards (ISO 2631-1 & ISO 5349-1) to objectively classify dynamic comfort and setup needs.

Hardware & Standards

Modular Multi-Node Architecture

Built to deliver industrial-grade precision through standardized vibration evaluation without unnecessary mechanical complexity.

  • Synchronized Multi-Axis Sampling

    1 Central Master Unit coordinating 2 to 4 Peripheral IMU Nodes wirelessly. Selectable sampling rate (208 Hz / 417 Hz) for detailed dynamic capture across fork, handlebars, and frame.

  • ISO Scientific Compliance

    Direct normalization of acceleration vectors adhering to ISO 2631-1 (whole-body vibration) and ISO 5349-1 (hand-arm vibration) to objectively measure rider comfort thresholds.

  • 5-Minute Plug & Play Setup

    Tool-free mounting using modular rubber-backed spacers. Zero cables, integrated LiPo batteries, and instant automatic pairing with the mobile companion app.

Development Roadmap & Future Expansions

FloatRyde is designed as an evolving ecosystem. While Phase 1 validation is completed, advanced software analytics and hardware integration modules are actively mapped for industry co-development.

Phase 01 • Validated

Core Telemetry & ISO Baseline

Wireless multi-node hardware prototype, synchronized high-frequency IMU acquisition, and calibrated vibration analysis based on ISO 2631-1 & ISO 5349-1 standards.

Phase 02 • In Development

Rule-Based Prescriptive Tuning

Automating mechanical setup recommendations (damper rebound, air pressures, tire PSI) mapped from empirical multi-axis disturbance data.

Phase 03 • Future Expansion

Smart Diagnostics & Maintenance

Predictive component wear tracking based on historical vibration signatures (suspension fluid degradation and kinematic fatigue alerts).

Phase 04 • OEM Scale

OEM & E-Bike Native Integration

Direct frame-integrated architecture powered by main e-bike batteries, alongside crowdsourced dynamic data intelligence for component manufacturers.

* Detailed technical specifications and co-development terms are available under NDA.

Technical Partnerships & OEM Licensing
