  • Looked into tether kill switch

    • Bike would stop if rider falls off​

  • More research into aux pack​

    • Would need 2 for a 24-hour race​​​

  • Continued work on startup sequence​

  • Continued work on general motor controller interfacing

  • HVIL research​

Week 2

Research

  • Deep look into aux pack
