Collision Reconstruction
insight through experience
MULTIPLE COLLISION TYPES. Collisions often involve a mix of vehicles, ranging from bicycles and motorcycles to passenger cars, trucks, buses, and tractor-trailers. We approach these events as collision reconstructionists first, with a two-wheel specialization that adds depth to our analysis of the bicycle, motorcycle, and e-bike dynamics.
Motorcycle
36 years of street riding, 19 years of reconstruction experience, and 15 years of racing form the basis of our motorcycle work. Full Cycle Recon has hands-on experience in amateur and professional racing, data analysis, suspension and engine building, and rider coaching. Our understanding of motorcycle dynamics, rider behavior, and operational standards supports clear, defensible conclusions in litigation. Our capabilities include:
- Motorcycle Standard of Care
- Motorcycle Dynamics and Stability
- Rider Behavior and Handling
- Forensic Testing
- Dynamic Multi-Body Analysis
- Motorcycle “Black Box” (EDR) Analysis
Bicycle
500,000+ miles, 25 years of racing, and 19 years of reconstruction experience form the basis of our bicycle work. We bring a unique background to bicycle accident reconstruction, leveraging decades of experience and insights from professional racing on road, dirt, and track, and coaching cyclists from beginner to Olympic level. The components of our bicycle reconstruction work include:
- Bicycle Standard of Care
- Bicycle Dynamics and Stability
- Rider Behavior and Handling
- Forensic Testing
- Dynamic Multi-Body Analysis
- Bicycle Computer and GPS Data Analysis
- Product Liability
Vehicle
Nearly two decades of reconstruction experience and five years of vehicle testing form the foundation of our work. Full Cycle Recon has analyzed and reconstructed over 2,500 collision cases involving a wide range of vehicular movements and impact scenarios. We incorporate insights from a dedicated data-acquisition vehicle operated in controlled track settings.
By integrating the technologies below, we provide clear, accurate, and defensible reconstructions:
- Laser Scanning
- Vehicle Crush Analysis
- Event Data Recorder (“Black Box”) Analysis
- Advanced Crash Reconstruction Software
- Forensic Testing
E-Bike & E-Scooter
We have experience evaluating and testifying in cases involving e-bicycles and e-scooters, supported by early practical use of self-built electric bicycles prior to their mainstream adoption. This background provides applied insight into electric-assist behavior, power delivery, control inputs, and system performance relevant to collision analysis.
Our reconstruction work for e-bikes and e-scooters includes:
• Standard of Care
• Dynamics and Stability
• Rider Behavior and Handling
• Electrical System Assessment
• Forensic Testing
• Dynamic Multi-Body Analysis
