In order to receive the necessary information (CAD models, datasheets) from the organizer of the competition (Moto Engineering Foundation) it is essential to pay the entry fee.

We seek your contribution to achieve our goal! For our sponsors, we provide personalized advertisement space on the motorcycle, on our homepage, and on our own uniforms. Aside the presence in media, your company can reach groups of University students as well.

The tubular space frame and swingarm of our next motorcycle will be made of high-strength, seamless chromium molybdenum alloy tubes. The tubes will be bent and cut into pieces of specified sizes, each with a machined intersection on both ends. Certain sheet metal elements will be welded onto the frame, these will be manufactured using laser or water jet cutting. Some of these parts need edge rolling.

The material of the steering neck (which holds the front fork in place) is E355 non-alloy quality steel. The steering head includes two single row tapered roller bearings (SKF, NTN, or FAG). During the fabrication of the housings for the bearings it is crucial to ensure the uniaxiality of the two housings. The inside diameters must be machined precisely to the required size in order to achieve the prescribed inner clearance of the bearings.

The frame would be welded using TIG technology. To avoid deformation during welding, a jig will be designed and built from steel hollow sections and sheet metal parts. To secure the steering neck, cone-shaped spacers will be inserted into the neck.

The rear suspension will include a linkage system, which consists of ball-joints, sheet metal parts and precision fasteners. The free rotation of the components will be guaranteed by needle roller (SKF) and polymer (Igus) bearings, spacers and washers.

The front and rear axles, and other shafts on the motorcycle will be lathe-turned of 42CrMo4 bars.

The fairing which is used during the race will be made of carbon composite. We will use extruded polystyrene foam to manufacture the negatives of the fairing elements, which will be shaped with CNC machinery.

To assemble and operate the motorcycle, lubricants (MOL, SKF) will be required. Some commercial components don’t need manufacturing, such as tires, footrests, parts of the brake system, handlebars, rear sprocket and chain.

Our fully electric motorcycle will contain the following main parts and subsystems:

• An air cooled AFPM Motor with the performance of 15kW


• Motor controller that communicates on CAN bus with the on-board computer and able to recharge the battery pack while the motorcycle is decelerating


• Accumulator pack and battery management system


• Battery charger


• Multi level safety system which prevents unintentional engine starts


• On-board computer with such peripheries and embedded software that are capable of measuring and logging temperatures, voltages and accumulator charge level while communicating with the rider and providing service information

The battery pack will be placed in a heavy duty, shock resistant container for its protection. The motorcycle will have two separate power systems with different voltage levels.
The high voltage system includes the motor, the motor controller and the battery pack. When the low voltage falls below a threshold, the high voltage network is disconnected for safety reasons.

Manufacturing the previously described motorcycle will require several electrical components such as:
Motor controller, batteries, dashboard, LED-s, accelerator handle, electrical switches, contactors, connectors, cables for power and signal transmission, STM32F4 microcontroller, transistors, operational amplifiers, regulator IC-s, different passive components (capacitors, inductors, resistors), auxiliary power supply for the AFPM motor and motor controller testing, regular labor equipment: voltage and amper meters, probes and measurement cables, heat sinks, ventilators, PCB-s.
