Commissions

MOTORCYCLES, MONOWHEELS

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE....

Yes, I do, and will,  design and build things for other people.

If you would like to discuss a possible project please contact me via dave@redmaxmonowheel.co.uk

From a frame to a complete custom motorcycle, monowheels, mowers and much more


A bit about me

I have been designing and building things for most of my life.

I have been a street performer, acrobat, university lecturer, special effects technician and, lately, a TV presenter.

I have a degree in electrical engineering, a PhD in electronics, a Masters in 3D design and a well equipped shed.

If I'm not in the shed I am either lawn mower racing, practicing hand stands or out riding one of my custom bikes.

I have been riding and 'modifying' motorcycles for over 40 years.

Mostly, I can be found in my shed working on the latest ‘experiment’.

Commissioned work

    Most of the things seen on this website are my own personal projects.

    I do, however, make things for other people and organisations.

   As this is commissioned work, and so belongs to someone else, I tend not to put it on my site.

   I have built props and vehicles for a number of theatre companies, magicians and performers.

  I am happy to design and work with electronics, electromechanical devices and mechanical systems.
