To test exactly how durable the Spokester really is, we had to get creative. So, instead of hiring a bunch of kids to ride around in circles for a year or two, we built a machine to run the Spokester continuously. Then, we mounted a bike on top of it, clipped on a Spokester, and turned it on.

We ran it for several days non-stop (it made a lot of noise), which is far more stress than any Spokester would come under in the real world. Safety is very important, especially considering this is a toy meant primarily for kids. When we took the Spokester off the bike, it was a little scratched up, and a little bent (which corrected itself within a few hours), but otherwise perfectly unharmed. The bike spokes it had been paddling on for all that time were a bit more shiny, but otherwise showed no ill effects.

Below is a photo of the testing rig and a short video clip of it in action. (If you don’t see the video below, give it a sec to load.)
