The SKIDBIKE motorcycle rider training tool offers professional motorcycle training schools, academies and dealers a tool for training core braking concepts and techniques to all riders. The SKIDBIKE is engineered to adjust tire grip through the electric ram and independent front wheel carriage system. Through loss of the coefficient of friction, speed and road conditions are simulated. The Gs and speed are lowered so that if the rider fails to control the bike and crashes, the safety wings inhibit the fall.
