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.

Battery Design
Power Electronics
Embedded Software
Data Acquisition
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.

Aerodynamics
Brakes & Suspension
Composite Materials
Structural Design
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 & Social
Sponsorships
Events
Business Plan
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.
