Motor and inverter
Our goal this year is to improve motor and inverter design to capture the final performance gains. This includes tuning inverter control algorithms to push motor efficiency and power output close to thermal limits.
The project delivers a 100% electric prototype capable of competing at MotorLand Aragon in October 2027.

Objectives
We are engineering a competitive electric motorcycle that meets MotoStudent technical requirements and performs reliably at MotorLand Aragon.
Timeline highlights: design validation now; build and testing through 2027; final event Oct 2027.
Technical focus areas
Our goal this year is to improve motor and inverter design to capture the final performance gains. This includes tuning inverter control algorithms to push motor efficiency and power output close to thermal limits.
Last year we designed a battery pack using high-performance cell technology. For 2027 we aim to update to next-generation cells and improve tuning of our custom active balancing BMS.
For 2027, our focus is redesigning chassis architecture to optimize stiffness and reduce weight. In parallel, we are developing structural carbon fiber components to maximize reliability under racing loads.
For 2027 we are designing our own ECU to control all vehicle systems and enable precise performance tuning.
The 2025 bike introduced new sensors and telemetry systems for data-driven development. For 2027 we plan to add sensors and integrate their data deeper into vehicle control.
The cooling system is receiving a major upgrade, including exploration of new methods to improve thermal performance.
The 2027 fairings are being redesigned from the ground up and optimized using CFD plus wind tunnel testing.
