SBU on Shark Tank

dwood — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:18:10 +0000

The anticipation is over… we can finally tell you that we were on ABC’s Shark Tank for Season 4 Episode 7. Go have a look for yourself:

Daniel and David (Chief nerds at Focus Designs) traveled to the Shark Tank open auditions a while back and had a great deal of fun meeting other entrepreneurs and meeting various members of “Shark Tank”. The SBU was met with overwhelmingly positive response from everybody we met! Though we cannot tell you many details about what it was like ‘behind the scenes’ of the Shark Tank we can say that the experience led us to many new friends and unforgettable opportunities.

SBU V3 versus SBU V2 (Performance)

dwood — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:44:38 +0000

Not only is the SBU V3 capable of attracting larger herds of women, it also has a dramatic increase in performance. This performance increase is due to two main reasons, a smaller wheel (18″) and an increased battery voltage (58V). The smaller wheel provides more torque and hill-climbing (30% grade) while the increased battery voltage gives users a higher ceiling for maximum speed, now 15mph. Combine these two together and riding the V3 feels like a muscle car.

We took both the V2 and V3 out for a side by side comparison on a small incline and did some official shopping cart push tests in the QFC parking lot… I’m sure they were happy.

Left Coast Tour Day 1 – Eugene OR

dwood — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 09:24:24 +0000

We knew we were in Eugene when the fixie to road bike ratio exceeded 13:1 and half of main street was quarantined off for bicycles only. After sifting through rows of bicycles we parked right outside of American Apparel and started ridin’ nerdy. We met up with our buddy, Alan who took off on one of the SBU V2 demo units and began chattin’ it up.

Tomorrow we will be in downtown Sacramento (by the capital building) around noon giving demos and spreadin’ nerdiness like it’s goin’ out of style! If you want to meet up with us go ahead and contact us:
