Fast Bikes

About RAL Technology

RAL Technology was formed in 2009 when I left my job as Stress Engineer in Aerospace to follow my passion: Fast Bikes. With plenty of design, development and validation experience, I set up the business along with a manufacturing workshop, which is currently engaged in some radical product development. We are now manufacturing and selling those products which have already made it through development.

We are now based in Colchester, Essex, having moved from South Wales in 2011. If you would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch.

About me

In 1984 I won a scholarship to study Engineering at Cambridge University. My final year papers - my specialities - were Stress Analysis, Mechanical Power Transmission, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Engines. My final year project was about separation and reattachment of boundary layers.

Since graduating, I have spent over 20 years in mechanical engineering and fluid mechanics positions: 3 years designing pumps, 10 years designing braking systems and 8 years in the aerospace industry, designing aerial delivery systems (think Special Forces throwing vehicles, boats and kit out the back of aircraft in flight) . In 2009 I realised that I could make a business from designing and building some of the fastest bikes in the world.

When I moved to Merseyside in the early 90's, I joined the Birkenhead Victoria Cycle Club. I was Club Captain and Club Secretary for a few years and also set new club records at all distances from 10 to 100 miles. Despite moving away from the area, I maintain my ties with the BVCC 2011. Since 2012, I have been a member of Colchester Rovers CC.
