Contes Engineering Athos Prototype Construction and Testing

This video shows everything from the birth of the Athos quad idea all the way through prototype testing. This video is geared towars the tech centric viewer that likes to see a great idea come to live and a little taste of each phase of the process. Watch closely and you will see the initial hand drawn sketh of the Athos quad concept, initial CAD modeling and simulation, actual prototype fabrication steps, and video of the first test rides.

Independent suspension for all 4 wheels ... freaking awesome.

[@egilnp]

I've been working on a similar ATV bike ideal for the last three years in my spare time. And I knew there had to be somebody out there thinking like me that would beat me to the punch. Oh well,that's life I'll keep on working on mind though. And I must say well done it's really a nice design. I have three different virgins of mind BMX, Montain & Racer. This is whats going to put America back on top real inventors of things that will soon be needed. And it's better than walking great work man.

[@azonesuperdia]

So how was it?

[@TheZumiezNation]

haha, i thought of the same thing when i was younger. good to see someone's actually making an effort to make this a real thing xD

[@IllIIllIIIllIllI]

I definitely wish I had one of those that's beyond awesome!!!!

[@dbrides9469]

The test pilot is a pretty good rider- I've ridden that skatepark plenty on my all-mountain bike' and haven't taken a couple of those lines, or gotten that much air! He makes it look too easy.

[@chance_moye3153]

db rides I’ve ridden reedville skate park as well it is pretty impressive

[@holdwholetruthholy1511]

The use of raw billet-made parts always tells people that you weren't F-ing around. I love that chit. The use of red paint on some parts of the frame was a smart move too. Impressive overall. Well-designed. Well-constructed. Well-ridden. And I gotta say... well... I really liked the Nike's that dude had on too

[@beccan1448]

ive been going on about making exactly this for a long time now. i want one. you guys already put in the work so yeah, no sense in me doing it too. killed it.

[@insanetaco98]

I have too especially growing up riding motocross and bmx. I did moto on quads so I've always wanted a bmx quad.

[@Gallardo6669]

Guys, me too...

[@DualDesertEagle]

Ok, doing a bunny hop with this is EXTREMELY impressive IMO O_O

[@uwot9021]

Dude this thing seriously BADASS

[@bobrossi2958]

Awesome Quad. It' obvious a lot of engineering, and $$ went into its development. I know You will have a market when it goes into production.

[@АнтонМитрофанов-т7я]

Очень круто!!!Я сам мечтаю о такой технике...правда руки всё не доходят ((( Огромный лайк вам за труды и процветания вашему каналу )))

[@tacticallawyer]

Sweet! Is it commercially available? I want one. I hope it's not to expensive to buy

[@joshhamilton2987]

Way cooler than any quad! You guys have to sell these to stores!

[@qdmir22]

Dear, Please upload some more videos. I am really impress of what you have made. Its more than what I call amazing......

[@Arun2Wheels]

I really love it. Owning one is one of my dream.

[@patriciobeiza6428]

I love the desing, is amazing!!!

[@ShabbernigdoXingjian]

is this still in the works or has it fallen through?

[@Philipp_-cp2xw]

Dude, this Athos Quad is awesome. But I think it will be expensive. But nice!Love It !😍

[@dasdew2]

Why is it every-time I have a idea it turns out someone else already did it?

[@christianoldiesmusic2280]

This has been a problem to me,until i realized from the bible that ideas are like rain drop,God fills our minds with different ideas according to our talents,its now depends on how active we are to bring it to reality

[@seimela]

dasdew2 sometimes i even thought when you asking Google if some of your idea exit is like you telling it

[@Bungle]

ADELEKE OLAOLU What in the fuck are you talking about?

[@F00lP0l0]

dasdew2 you know every thing can be your idea you took it and make it batter, then its yours

[@Scribles]

dasdew2 awsome

[@OttosTheName]

Really like the concept, only think that it must be a bit heavy to ride because of the weight and the extra resistance from the wheels. With a small electric motor like they put on those old-people-bikes might make this thing even better xD

[@carverevolition1]

OJJVZ There is a company near my place that took the engine for "old-people-bikes" put it on a whole new level! www.aden-sports.com/ If they would attach 4 of those engines to this nice vehicle and make it AWD....CRAZY SHIT!!! :O They should mount the control for the RWD to the right side and the control for the FWD to the left so you could also drift *.* I should defiantly stop thinking about it before wet my pants :'D

[@TheACE195]

Great riding a readville! Sick design as well! I would totally ride that!👍

[@simonlinser8286]

you guys are my heros

[@joeaverager]

I think I saw this at SAE BAJA Kansas (Pittsburgh State) I think. Someone had added an ebike motor to it (middrive perhaps) and were tooling around the pit area. Every bit as cool in real life as in this video. I really love the idea of a silent, lightweight (compared to an ATV) pedal/electric offroad vehicle. With my middrive bike I've been able to see all sorts of wildlife b/c they don't hear me coming. Also, people don't mind an electric bike as much as an ATV or ICE powered dirt bike b/c of its silence.

[@MINTSCORPION]

I want one so bad

[@tacticallawyer]

I still want one! Still not commercially available?

[@AswinK-o1v]

eager to know whether it hit production,crazy cool project

[@alexpenfold6174]

such a cool idea ... make a DH one !!

[@jss121780]

indeed. i want one of these. could be used to make a nice bicycle car. could even add electronics and a 49cc engine. and a comfortable are for a driver for transportation

[@fordgemustang9333]

Ok now these are cool. Well done .

[@FrozenMammothMusic]

That. Is. Awesome.

[@jameswalker269]

Really cool design! Good work 😎👍

[@elizabethgaspodnetich9676]

I want one!! That is most cool. I have been wanting to build an electric four wheel bike for a long time and this would be so easy to put a little motor on.

It's legendary cool creation. Can take a decal as: SATISFACTION WARRANTY OR YOUR MONEY BACK.

[@PaulMEdwards]

Wow, pretty awesome!

[@userAlexVezos]

How much does this cost?

[@davidanderson-22]

Have you thought about building one of these with the Wesll leaning/tilting suspension?

[@andBefore-dn8yv]

It's awesome you invented or made something or, at the very least, built something. Seems like you took away one of the most important parts of biking.

[@EnergyReturnWheel]

You should enter the 2014 NASA rover challenge!!

[@NantachaiChootien]

good job and good angel of camera

[@mazdalorean]

do you have any pictures or video on the bike your building? I'm building one too. all electric 1000 watts 48 volt. all disk brakes too. also made entirely from stainless steel (except the bike parts).

[@andrewbeaudin]

lets see it

[@nicholascremato]

With a more comfortable seat and forward pedal position this would make a great transport bike for a handicapped or elderly person.

[@dimitrijenovakovic7942]

Add differentials too

[@randomguy3281]

Now that is awesome... it looks pretty heavy though. I wounder if the frame tubing is steel or aluminum. I have a feeling this would also be pretty awesome with a small electric assist motor.

[@calysagora3615]

Yeah, this could be engineered quite a bit lighter for sure.

[@tylerloree5283]

Full carbon fibre would be sick

[@dannyruiz2011]

If you put a motor on it, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of making it? If you’re gonna put motor on it you may as well just buy a quad

[@smoothemusic4386]

this is actually soo cool!

[@crazyheatrocker]

looks really awesome

[@genosaur1]

Very Cool Andy!

[@davidmiller4758]

Congrats that shit is amazing. I just recently thought of this and had never seen it's I wanna make mine an electric one tho with all kinds of racks n bags around it and a back rack platform in order to make it more of a bad ass bug out vehicle, about 40mph and 130miles of range is what I'm thinking. There's definitely enough space for app that battery!

[@viraltoday2]

Looks awesome

[@ghazypangerang6118]

Now that’s a full suspension

[@NHDinc]

I really quite like it :D

[@Manonmoon420]

Why is this not on the market?

[@stantheheadhumongous9402]

damn that looks really fun

[@downhillluca5591]

thats so nice. i will must have it

[@sharpnail02]

Congratulation to Who ever person behind this project. But all of us here are left clueless..who and where to buy this! We want one!!!

[@Mark11n23]

To Whom it may concern: Can add 2 disc at rear, just like the front disc, and also can remove middle disc into motorized rear middle wheel?

[@azadzinar9588]

Very nice

[@xpndblhero5170]

I live this design but Goddamn that thing looks like over engineerings definition... BEAUTIFUL frame and amazing work guys, now where can I get one. 😁

[@Evgeny_Martsinyuk]

Сакс! Этот ведровер очень тяжелый в сравнении с двухколёным. В общем эта игрушка для тех, кто не умеет ездить на двух колёсах.

[@DanTheCaptain]

This would be a cool alternative to BMX. I'd do both!

[@djimbavallinor3065]

that's badass man

[@Mast3rShak305]

Where can I get one and how much does it cost?

[@nikkosslov6049]

the used parts seem to be high performance bicycle components, i can see Shimano Saint and stuff like that. costs would be extremely high!

[@OfurAndrinn]

this is crazy, mad, awesome, insane, but is in a some weird way normal. this has the x factor that really cannot be explaned

[@dominicknight223]

Hello my name is Dominic Deangelo Antonio Knight. Years ago. A some what friend of mine went to florida for a convention. And he droning of my. four wheel bike it wasn't that great looking but I did that thing man. The one that your jumping is the "Fahrenheit" the motion bike one is the avlach. Named after Deon Jackson shows.

[@corbinlarson4381]

Is the creator of the quadricycle the one who posted the video?

[@godbound]

this is so dope i must have one

[@haniolj.m.c8687]

Donde La Compro?

[@recklessox7091]

Please tell me where I can buy one PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wesw1985]

why is this not in mass production?

[@cliffcampbell8827]

What kind of hubs are in the rear wheels? How does the axle engage the wheels? Can I go from 20" to 26" wheels without any major modifications to the frame/suspension/steering? How would a change in wheel size affect performance and handling characteristics? These are just some of the things I have to figure out, not to mention 'where do I get the chromolly? Is there a machine shop where can I do my cutting, bending, shaping and welding or will I have to give them the dimensions and hope they shape and weld everything properly?' My design shares some characteristics with this 4 wheel MX but the rest of it is very different (and probably several lbs. heavier too). Excellent independent suspension-pedal quad by the way.

[@01hondascott]

nice lifted truck at 2:50

[@Noobdriver99]

01hondascott yes it does (hint it's a ford

[@geoffedwards8210]

Please bring it to Australia!!!

[@davidalbertocotrinacabrera7495]

Awesome congrats

[@NathanLarson01]

so cool!

[@krisnadiimam4556]

did the rear axle have differential?

[@mathildechir1153]

Wowwwww!! Amazing!!

[@Scribles]

awsome

[@breakbeatfanatik]

Kick-ass, though it looks like it bottoms out quite easily, but then again some more rigid suspension setup is all you need to fix that.

[@Xpxpxp729]

FANTASTICO

[@gavynboster4812]

That's awesome

[@eastrockaway11518]

NICE JOB

[@danluckins4071]

This looks awesome but how heavy is it is it light enough to be able to climb a mountain all day

[@sandrabledsoe7746]

My name is Sandra Bledsoe and I have been looking for a way for me to be able to exercise I'm 55 years old. I have a problem with stability. I lose my balance and fall. Do you have any quads that sit lower between the wheels? I would be very interested to find out about this quad. Do you have anything for a trail period that I would be able to test or try. Please let me know. I look forward to your answer. Sandra Bledsoe

[@yorangelgutierrez1305]

me gusto tu proyecto

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

I so want one of these in 2018

[@ΚωσταςΣχοιναρακης]

very special! any plans or the Athos is in the market? Thank you

[@strelokzone89]

If this was 4x4 driven with 21 speed I would buy it with out a second thought 💥💳💥💳💥💳

[@NeonXene]

i would actually buy this XD

[@POLOAZTECA]

Is this on the market already??? Looks pretty cool....

[@BnaToToSnap]

4 suspention :O awesome thing!

[@superderm6540]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope it's a pram that thinks it's a bmx

[@highoverclock]

Compression on 4 suspension pieces = 1 massive bunnyhop for a jump

[@wilsonorozco8907]

Excelente!!!

[@cobravenomX1]

i would like one but put motors on it

[@justinlabar1733]

peter ellis so a atv

[@fishbloodsmedia3742]

Wow i would love to make one or have one! Looks like its 4 wheel drive to. love to go through trails and hills. but also have a support on the seat so you can cruise to.

[@wedgie502]

Trevor Cooper not 4wd but could probably be done with a little ingenuity.

[@fishbloodsmedia3742]

It would be cool

[@РусанИшмухаметов]

Where to buy such a bicycle? Tell me please really need

[@nidkeau3860]

Where i can buy it ?

[@supremeflagship8965]

Now we need 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, ABS, ESC on this thing and voila! We have a low tech human powered "car"...

[@JayHeartwing]

Some stylish and light casing and roof for weather protection as well

[@amehayami934]

It's cool and all but what I want to know is are you going to make more and sell it? Because I want one.

[@goonigoogoo5868]

get the pedal-ec motor on it Bosch system. then. you really got something. here. ill Gert one for sure

[@JakesVideos614]

You should add a fly wheel to store the energy better.

[@drewmoffett5247]

How do you get the bike wheels to attach to the hub in the rear. What kind of adapters?

[@KristijanSremec]

WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice man :-D

[@sanjayraval5700]

Nice

[@oovelolovecycling8253]

Can we do a review of this if possible in the UK? Incredible
