We produce design tools for land-vehicle design.
The tool is an app targeting the iPhone 15 Pro, a portable screen and a Magic Keyboard. It can be used to specify a design as part of a design process for non-motorised land-vehicles such as bicycles. It targets 4 aspects of a design specification — structure, assembly, disassembly and packaging.

We are designing a load carrying trailer that can be attached to the back of a roadster bicycle. It is designed to be lightweight and balanced and carry loads of about 60kg.
The trailer attaches to the seat-post and rear wheel spindle of the bicycle. The attachments are lightweight rectangular hollow steel cross sections that attach to both sides of the seat-post and the rear spindle. These attachments pull and steer the trailer. The cross sections have 2 20mm holes at the point just behind the rear wheel where the 2 pairs of steel sections pass. A 20mm solid steel axle about 1m long passes through these 2 pairs of holes and each end of this axle has a 16 inch wheel. The end of the 2 pairs of steel sections has 16mm holes through which passes a 16mm solid steel axle of 60cm. A pair of 14 inch wheels is attached to each end of the axle. The forward axle is designed to maintain lateral stability while the rear axle is for load. The frame of the trailer sits on this axle at back and is attached to the seat-post and the head-tube of the bicycle at the fron.
The trailer is assembled starting with the 2 axles.
