Summary by Krater

Colin Furze builds a bicycle that replaces traditional springs and dampers with opposing magnets, testing various magnet strengths and setups before concluding that while it works as suspension, the joints and frame flex under pressure.

Answers: Can you make bicycle suspension out of magnets?

• Magnetic bicycle suspension
• Fabricating custom bike frames
• Testing magnet repulsion force
• Welding stainless steel bicycle parts

What it concludes

• A bicycle built with opposing magnets instead of traditional suspension can work and glide along, but the joints and frame flex and experience excessive force under pressure.
