This may be of some interest, especially since their first application was
to a bicycle that you can trial ride...

Case Presentation by
Fallbrook Technologies
Wednesday, January 16, 2008; 5pm - 8pm
The Salk Institute
>From Scooters to SUVs:
A Revolutionary New
Transmission Technology
If it needs to change speeds, Fallbrook
Technologies makes shifting gears,
well, gearless
Did you ever dream of "owning" the market with your technology?
Fallbrook Technologies has the opportunity to do just that.
With applications that range from two- and four-wheel vehicles to wind
turbines, the opportunity for Fallbrook Technologies' new transmission
technology, called NuVinci, is huge. Join us in an open forum to discuss the
best approaches for commercialization.
1. Commercialization has begun: How should Fallbrook Technologies balance
short term cash flow opportunities from its current 2-wheel market with its
long term potential in the 4-wheel market and beyond?
2. The applications are seemingly endless: Where to start? What are the
fastest methods for technology adoption? -- a) write the textbook for the
engineering schools; b) find a partner to license and run with it, c) Drive
application from within, or d) Other.
When was the last time you rode a bicycle? Experience the NuVinci technology
during the reception before the program, and network with a large, diverse
audience of entrepreneurs, technologists, and professionals.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers who enjoy dreaming up new applications for enabling technologies.
CEOs, entrepreneurs, technologists, and professionals who are experienced
with broad based applications and diverse market adoption strategies.
About the Company
Fallbrook Technologies is causing a revolution in drivetrain technology
that's winning prestigious awards and gaining rapid acceptance worldwide.
It's a new way of transmitting mechanical power based on spheres instead of
gears. The NuVinci continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology, an
innovative new continuously variable transmission (CVT), is not only helping
vehicle designers and component manufacturers improve performance, ride
quality, and capabilities in existing products, it's driving change and new
designs never before thought possible.
Fallbrook has been successful in the bicycle and scooter market, for which
it licenses its technology. With more than 100 patents, its CVP technology
has broad applications to many other markets, including lawn & garden
vehicles, light electronic vehicles, and traditional automotives. You might
say that the NuVinci is the "next big transmission invention."
