OUR TEAM
REM-IHU is a multidisciplinary student team. Electrical, Mechanical and Operations subteams work side-by-side to design, build and race our electric motorcycle at MotoStudent.
Department
Electrical — High / Low Voltage & Software
The Electrical subteam is responsible for all high-voltage and low-voltage systems on the bike, as well as the software and data acquisition that bring the prototype to life on track.
High–Low Voltage Systems
- Design and construction of the battery system for the electric racing motorcycle.
- High-voltage and low-voltage architecture, safety concept and wiring.
- Electronic connections and integration of all onboard electronic systems.
Software & Data
- Research and developement of custom firmware for custom pcb chain.
- Data collection and communication programming using protocols such as: UART, CAN BUS, I2C etc.
- Data analysis, resulting in optimal performance and reliability.
Department
Mechanical — Vehicle Dynamics & Structure
The Mechanical subteam is responsible for the overall vehicle concept: aerodynamics, chassis, suspension, braking and structural integrity. Their work ensures that every watt of power translates into lap-time performance.
Aerodynamic Design & Analysis
- Design and optimization of the aerodynamic package (fairings, wings, ducts).
- CFD simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to reduce drag and improve stability.
Brake · Suspension · Steering · Powertrain
- Selection and tuning of racing geometry, steering system and chain drive.
- Thermal analysis and optimization of braking systems.
- Inverter programming for power delivery based on logged data.
- Dynamic studies (lap-time simulation / vehicle dynamics) for race-track performance.
- Design, integration and optimization of the powertrain system.
Composite Materials
- Study and use of advanced composite materials.
- Manufacturing of the aerodynamic package and key lightweight components.
Structural Design & Analysis
- Chassis design: frame, subframe, swingarm and mounting points.
- Strength and stiffness studies with FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
- Assembly and integration of all mechanical subsystems.
Department
Operations — Media & Marketing
The Operations & Media subteam connects the project with the outside world: sponsors, events, public image and internal organization. They ensure that the team has the resources and visibility it needs to compete.
Media · Marketing
- Communication with companies and partners.
- Organization of events, test days and public presentations.
- Management of social media channels and website content.
- Photography, photo & video editing and graphic design.
Operations & Business
- Business Plan subteam: budget planning and sponsorship packages.
- Logistics for race events, transport and team coordination.
- Brand identity and storytelling of REM-IHU.
