Smart Moto Challenge (2nd Edition)

• Conceptual design of an electric motorbike (BRUC02), designed for cities, such as Barcelona, for short trips, for example, from home to the School.
• Design and calculation of all mechanical components
• Design and calculation of all electrical-electronic components
• Parts and components manufacturing
• Assembly of the motorbike
• Test, validation and tuning
• Demonstrations during the competition in the city of Barcelona

The project attempts to answer the needs of today's University students in an increasingly technological world, where only the value-added design and engineering may introduce a new product on the market.

The team members acquire some skills and abilities that are difficult to learn in a classroom. Working in multi-disciplinary group is encouraged.

Students can apply all their knowledge of information technology and communications (ICT) in a smart motorbike of the XXI century.

Furthermore, ecology is present in the project, for a better, cleaner and healthier world.

• Thanks to this crowdfunding campaign, students will pay the mandatory registration (500 Euros) for the competition and this will be the first step to begin this great adventure.

• In addition, students will have the resources to attend the competition (transportation, lodging and meals).

• Minimum financial resources will be avalaible to purchase and manufacture small parts and components, as well as to provide the tools necessary to assembly of the bike.

• A group of sponsors will contribute with the most expensive parts and components (manufacturing of chassis, electric motor, battery).

• ELISAVA & ETSEIB Schools will provide ​​some contributions for the start of the project, marqueting and project development.

• The contribution of this campaign will make the dream of the team, build BRUC02.

The schools of ETSEIB and ELISAVA recently participated in the first edition of the Smart Moto Challenge 2013 with the BRUC01, having achieved nothing more and nothing less than second place in the final score, close to the first place:

For the first time participating in this competition it has been a great success as the award "Static Events Winner" for best design was obtained. The challenge was difficult, mainly for timing reasons. In less than six months the students were able to design, build and tune a bike, which design was apreciated by both the jury and the general public. The first edition has shown that it is possible during one academic year to design and manufacture an electric motorbike with guaranteed success.

For the second edition of the Smart Moto Challenge, an office for the staff and a laboratory is already available to mount the bike, as well as previous gained experience.

Is expected to form the team ETSEIB-ELISAVA during the first half of October, to begin work on the project.

The new team will consist of 7 students from UPC and 7 ELISAVA students. Designers, mechanical engineers, electronic, and managerial work in partnership, under the supervision of a teacher and a teacher ELISAVA the UPC.

Although during the first edition was the illusion that allowed success, hope for this second edition a serious team, working with precision and coordination to improve the results of the first edition.
