Electric motorbike racing

[Jonathan]

I've had a mad last two weeks or so - but we did it! The bike survived the TT ... we blew up plenty of bits between races in testing and had problems with the bike cutting out (10 times!) during the race, but were still the fastest university.



Must remember to buy more cooling hoses for next time, or hire the same van

Would that be for hanging onto.?

Yep, I also made the water cooling block below by borrowing my friend's CNC router. We were nowhere near finishing so we took my mini lathe in the van. Almost everyone who passed our box said 'look, they have a lathe!'... you'd think they'd never seen one before. The lathe proved just as useful to other teams as us - I think I helped out 5 different teams with it, including skimming a shaft from a sidecar.



Next we're racing in a series called 'Moto-E' in the UK and Europe.
