UoN MotoStudent

All the parts not requiring CNC work have also been started this week, including the manufacturing of the rear axle.
Closer to a race bike every day!

Today we received some of our first components made by our in house team. The manufacture stage is well underway!

Looking forward to receiving the rest of our control parts!
Not going to be far off assembly

Somewhere hidden in these blocks of metal are some very nice race motorcycle parts waiting to be free
Watch this space!

A big milestone was hit today, the team’s final design passed it’s Critical Design Review from two senior members of engineering staff.
Now focus moves fully to manufacture, more photos to come soon!

Exciting to be receiving these in a package soon!

🏁 2018... ¡Año de ! | Motostudent, here we go!

Our team’s hard at work today finalising designs for the MotoStudent bike. Not long now until manufacture begins!

We’re close to finishing the new UoN Racing workshop, a big thank you to Technical Leader Rob Driver for all the work he’s put in getting it ready for us to move in.

Expect to see more updates as we move into the new workshop and progress with the bike build!

Quick render one of the team did earlier for the front of our progress report.
Work in progress for sure, but it’s beginning to look like a race bike!

Going green!
The MotoEnergy motor has arrived at the Nottingham workshop, ready for installation into the prototype racer.

Motorcycles are notoriously one of the most complex machines to engineer. It’s very difficult to change one aspect of the bike independently without affecting other areas of the bike.
That’s why it’s so great for The University of Nottingham MotoStudent team to be working with Suspact Motorcycle Geometry Software.
Suspact will be used throughout the mechanical design process and also during testing and racing the bike, ensuring a thorough engineering approach throughout.
Thank you to www.suspact.com for all your support.

Are we missing any?
