Charging systems, magneto or othewise, provide a critical foundation for many ATV, UTV and motorcycle designs. G-Force Consulting's expertise on these systems is derived from years of experience on ATVs and snowmobiles. Power-to-weight ratio is everything to die-hard snowmobilers, so many models are not equipped with a battery at all--meaning all areas of the charging systems must be supremely optimized while holding to an affordable cost.
Gary Gustafson of G-Force Consulting Inc has been instrumental in improving charging systems for several major brands including Polaris Rangers and ATVs and Arctic Cat snowmobiles. Today, advances in technology make many battery-less or low-current functions possible and the resultant benefits can be applied to nearly any small-engine machine. With knowledge of load management, current draw optimization, magneto charging systems and other parameters, it is surprising what kind of electrical possibilities there are on today's ATVs, snowmobiles and lawn and garden applications.
Examples of products we have developed based upon charging system optimization:
- Transmission shifting on Arctic Cat Snowmobiles
- Higher-output headlights for snowmobiles
- Range-extending ICE generators for UTVs
- "Airwave" Air-spring suspensions from TeamFAST
