CFMoto Thinks Motorcycles Need Seat Belts

December 5, 2024 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - CFMoto Thinks Motorcycles Need Seat Belts

CFMoto recently applied for a patent for a motorcycle seat belt that holds riders in their seats under hard braking or in the event of a frontal crash.

“The proposed safety belt system will hold the rider on the seat, only allowing them to slide off the bike when the bike falls over, or when it senses a sideways force during a collision,” according to New Atlas, which saw the patent filing.

They explain:”One design iteration from the Chinese manufacturer’s patents shows how it might work – it’s based on a spring-loaded system. The bike’s gas tank has a pair of bars attached to it that don’t allow for any upward movement, but are free to move side to side.”

“In another iteration, we can see a fabric belt that supposedly keeps the rider in place,” New Atlas continues. “This belt is fastened to a short post behind the rider’s seat and features a front clasp that makes it simple for the rider to engage. It’s designed so the belt can slip off its post in the event of a side impact, but it’ll hold the rider’s waist or torso back under hard braking and in frontal crashes.”

For good reason, New Atlas thinks it’s a risky idea…

“Anyone who’s got significant seat time on a motorcycle or scooter may know all too well how crucial it is to get off the bike as soon as you can in the case of a fall,” the magazine says. “Anything that holds you to the seat for even a split second could increase the chance your leg will be crushed under the bike and dragged across the tarmac if it hits the deck.”

Eek! Yeah that doesn’t sound fun.
