Design Goals

Electric Bicycle Design

  • The goal of this project is to create a fun, fast, maneuverable, economical, commuter bicycle that is capable of travelling "around town" distances to replace driving a car

  • The bike needs to be significantly more powerful than any person can pedal: Motor is 3300 watts, most people pedal at about 100 watts

  • 30 mile range

  • Most components will be 3D printed thanks to Desktop Metal: This limits some design constraints associated with machining
