Sure - thank you for your post and your question.
I met Jim Manton for the first time at the testing session linked above. This testing was to accompany the launch of the Tactical about 1 year ago.
I had asked some industry people who they thought could do a great job testing "rider on" and "rider off" in both a wind tunnel and velodrome.
Jim was recommended to me so I reached out and asked him to do the testing. Specifically, I asked him to do the testing and publish the results no matter how they turned out. Next I asked who could be the rider - again, someone that I did not know. Ian Murray was recommend so I reached out to him.
These two professionals turned out to be a great choice.
The testing was scheduled for December 2016 - I flew out and met them both for the first time. About 1 year ago. The results were prepared and published as they are shown on the link Bryan included. We ended up doing some extra testing, 20 mph vs 30 mph, 1X, storage options etc.... and published that data as well.
About 9 months later I asked Jim if he would like to enter into an arrangement to work with PremierBike. The agreement outlined on Jim's website - ERO Sports.com - is what we ended up doing.
