new transmission systems

[BoxerOtto]

hi everyone. new member here part way through a build and thought i should join in. i'm wondering if anyone has checked out the NUVINCI CVT (CVP).
made by fallbrook technologies . seems to have alot of promise and
extensive ratios.power in power out light compact and their promising
inexpensive. definatly worth a look.

It's an interesting concept, I think I might have posted something about it on the forum, but don't hold me for it. I remember seeing it installed to a push bike and they were going to try it on a scooter etc.

A really great idea, hopefully it will be trialled and placed into production.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention otto, great technology.

I am sure when building the last bike I considered this. Emailed them with the requirements, and they replied no chance handeling a diesel force. So basically no chance.
