MotoStudent is an 18-month international motorcycle design competition hosted by FIM for university teams, culminating in a final racing event at MotorLand Aragón, Spain.
The competition provided an opportunity for students to design, build, and test cutting-edge motorcycles with the chance to race on a MotoGP track. It brought together innovative teams from around the world to showcase their engineering skills and creativity.
Our team's electric propulsion entry featured a ME1507 PMAC motor capable of delivering a peak torque of 120 Nm and continuous torque of 34 Nm. At 5000 rpm, the motor produced an impressive 85 horsepower.
The battery pack consisted of 400 18650 cells configured in a 20s20p arrangement, resulting in a peak voltage of 84V. Unfortunately, due to the team’s temporary disbandment during the COVID-19 pandemic, the motorcycle was never completed. However, it was predicted to achieve a 0-60 mph time of just 3.2 seconds. Being the first bike our team had designed and built from the ground up, T2 taught us many lessons that are being implemented on T3.
