sorry delete.

no cause your not watching the road and looking through the corner

but would be gd for recording so you can see how low your getting

The screen is actually 2" X 3". It looks big becuase the picture was taken with a wide-angle lens. What you see is only a small part of its functions. It can record several hours of data for further analysis after you get home. It can also do continuous replay.

Cool :-P

Then again it doesn't have many more features than the veypor system.

Neat idea, but from a marketing perspective, what's it trying to be? A datalogger or a single application inclinometer? As a datalogger you're going to be faced with existing competition that's already well established. If you chop it down to a straightforward single application inclinometer and can keep the cost and size down then you may have a novelty market.

As an aside, and I don't expect you to give away any trade secrets here, but how does the inclinometer cope with centrifugal forces? Ie. old school bubble or ball inclinometers assume a fairly stationary measurement, whereas applied to a bike going round a corner the ball or bubble would be as affected as the rider by centrifugal force and continue to give a zero degree reading even when cranked over.
Having said that, they've had attitude displays in aircraft for a long while now so I'm guessing someone's already thought of this one :D

Thank you for your long response. Your doubts and concern were also ours and have been solved. We have confirmed that the bubble method will not work. ;)
By the way, this device is a datalogger, but it is a datalogger that detects and records those data not available with former competitors, such as lean angle. :D

if your pregs scrape then your lean angle is good... that is all

sorry.

I'd be interested to know how you deal with the centrifugal force issue. Does it contain a giro? I can't think of any other way it could keep a reference with true level, unless it reads the road somehow?

sorry.
