DIRTBIKE COMING SPRING 2026
1
We will need to design a custom steel or aluminum frame around our battery packs that is strong enough to take large impacts while staying as light as possible.​
3
Our battery packs and control systems will need to be waterproof to allow us to compete in wet and muddy conditions. We also will need to be able to clean off the bike after a race. ​
5
Last fall we began focusing on how we can manufacture our battery modules more efficiently. That work culminated in a nearly complete custom battery spot-welder. We hope that more projects like this can bring our ideas to life faster and with less human error.
7
We hope to build on our recent success with a custom designed BMS for our superbike. Our current BMS will need to be tweaked to accommodate our rotating packs and new battery configuration.​
9
We will need to find a suspension kit that will work with our dirtbike and its likely higher weight. We will also need to be able to maintain/service it between races and tweak the tuning for different races depending on the terrain.
2
Since our battery packs will be water sealed and removable we will need to find a creative solution to keeping the battery cells cool.
4
Our battery packs will need to be swapped at checkpoints throughout the endurance race. We will need to ensure that these swaps are safe, quick, and easily repeatable. ​
6
The dirtbike will likely use a modified version of our already tested and proven superbike controls system. We would like to integrate some extra features such as a GPS and communication system so that the pit team can work with the riders throughout the race. ​​
8
Although aerodynamics is no longer a major factor for our fairing we will need to design fairing that can take impacts and can block most of the water and mud from getting inside the bike.
