Beltronics FX Accelerometers

[wupatki]

I found something new made by Beltronics it's called a "Vehicle Performance Computer". It's a new on chip accelerometer that measures all sorts of things like 0-60, 0-100, Horsepower and G-Forces. This thing looks really cool but they are new and I haven't found anyone with one in hand yet. Anyone.. Anyone..

The link for it is:

Looks kinda cheesy to me.........here's an excerpt from the faq page on them:

<span style='color:red'>Can the Performance Timer Accelerometers be used on motorcycles?


We have done no testing on motorcycles. The cornering G-force reading will definitely not work, due to the way motorcycles lean into turns. The acceleration, braking, and timed run modes may work, providing the motorcycle does not lift its front wheel during acceleration.</span>

Haven't heard about them before.
