This was small exaple of product development collaboration:

Last year we received a beautiful carbon skateboard deck from a material research institute in the University of Clausthal in Germany. Our job was to test it and say what we think of the new board because those guys from the institute are good in making things light, but they don´t know nothing about riding boards! The riders: Nico Hopp, Lars Mayer, Simon Schlör and myself have had lots of fun helping them understanding what was good and what could be better in the board. We made a nice video that was send to the university researchers with images of the board in action together with each riders toughts. The video will be posted soon here in Lets Evo Blog.

As I was riding my bike at the Mountains close to Frankfurt I had a chance to see this amazing bike made completely Wood.

The maker of this piece of Art is the Engineer Reinhold Eichhorn who works at Braun electronics. He did the whole work buy hand at his home workshop. And you could tell that his is not playing by taking a closer look at the saddle, It hiddenly screams “No pain no game”.

We are trying to convince him to show some of his building technics used on this bike.
