Lawson Engineering is willing to work with a major motorcycle or ATV manufacturer to commercialize the LawsonAWD concept bike for the trail/recreation/utility transportation market.
Easier: Ride gnarley trails
Climb steep rocky hillsSteer in sand, mud, snow, loose rocks
Low Impact: Surmount obstacles by traction - not trenches
Better: Anti-dive, coordinated braking
Both wheels brake together
Front brake lever control
Balanced breaking for descending steep hills
Reduced front wheel lockup in emergencies
Smoother: Proven Hossack dual A-arm suspension
No torque or bump steer
Design provides stock suspension travel
Design provides stock steering lock value
The Lawson motorcycle all wheel drive
design provides the same advantages that an
all wheel drive ATV has over a rear wheel drive ATV. Its all wheel
drive and suspension
system provides as much torque to the front wheel as necessary, rotates
the front wheel
at basically the same speed as the rear wheel thus excessive rear wheel
slip is not
required and obstacles are surmounted by traction not digging trenches,
and provides the
quality suspension and ride available from a conventional rear wheel
drive motorcycle.
The Lawson AWD motorcycle is a much simpler design than what is now available for off-road and has equivalent or better suspension characteristics than existing telescoping front suspensions. It is easier for an average rider to control on steep bumpy slopes, to surmount rocks and logs, and to maneuver in sand, mud, and snow. As both wheels are pulling to surmount obstacles, the Lawson design motorcycle does not require speed and aggressive spinning of the rear wheel. This results in low environmental impact, doing less damage to the terrain, and it can be much more easily walked through narrow backcountry trails such as those used by firefighters or rescue personnel. The advantage of an all wheel drive motorcycle is similar to why a four wheel drive vehicle is much better in difficult conditions than a two wheel drive vehicle.
