Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / steering system on a bicycle/pedal cycle
Danish term or phrase: styrdæmper
XXX's patenterede styresystem er forsynet med en justerbar styrdæmper som medvirker til stabil og afslappet kørsel.

This is really basically an 'ordinary' cycle or 'budcykel' with 'rugbrødsmotor', but it has a cabin in front for children or possibly luggage, and the client is of course selling it as the absolute latest in comfort, convenience, environment-friendliness etc. so it is 'bigger and better' than other cycles, hence the 'styrdæmper'.

The only place I can find a 'styrdæmper' is on a motorbike, and even then I don't know what it is and my deadline, due to a misunderstanding with the agency, was really yesterday...

Any advice gratefully accepted!

Explanation:
at least for motorcycles...
One of the company making these is Hyperpro. Try an Internet search and see what you come up with. It produces 133,000 hits.
You also get a fewer amount of hits for "steering dampener."

Thanks a lot, Dana, this really helped! Googling on it, the first hit I checked out was about a converted pushbike...

Everyone should have some points, but ... Thanks for the fast help - it saved my day! And luckily the client can remember the days when we always had jobs in hand, so we couldn't start theirs at once when the order came, so we are friends again!

This is a guess, and I know the site is not re bicycles, but with a deadline looming, etc., maybe this can be of some help!
