Electric Sport Bike

Objective

The overall objective of the project is to design and construct a Brushless DC motor, with provisions made for regenerative braking, such that it can be used to drive an electric motorcycle. ​This consists of conducting research to understand the inner workings of an electric motor and the mechanics of a typical motorcycle. A solid understanding of the factors that contribute to the torque produced by the motor is essential in attempting to enhance the efficiency of this vehicle. The goal would be to achieve a speed of 80 miles per hour while conserving the charge of the batteries for as long as possible.
