DESIGN NAME: Enduro2
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Electric MotoBike
INSPIRATION: The desire to experience the off-road vehicle halfway between motorcycles and bicycles, without sacrificing the power of the motorcycle and the agility and physical effort of the bicycle. It comes from my architectural experience and from the desire to create the first real MotoBike for technical use.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The first electric MotoBike designed to be the real link between Offroad Motorcycle and Bicycle: 4000W of power enclosed in a frame of only 27.5 kg coupled to coupling, 100% made in Italy in carbon fiber and CNC machined Ergal . The double transmission allows quick and precise gear changes at all times, even under stress. A vehicle designed for heavy and sporty use of the Enduro, but also for a relaxing walk in the woods.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2019 and ended in the latter form in February 2021. The development was followed completely by myself and the realization took place through production companies at a maximum of 80 km from our headquarters in Grignasco ( Novara)
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The frame of this MotoBike is made of carbon fiber in the front part from an autoclave mold, in the engine and in the rear part a plug-in technology without welded parts has been chosen, made of Ergal 7075 machined by CNC machines.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Electric MotoBike with independent pedaling and accelerator control with 4000W motor and 120 Nm of maximum torque. Weight 27.5 kg,
27.5" rear and 29" front wheels.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project started from a blank sheet, with the aim of creating an off-road vehicle between bikes and motorcycles that uses the largest number of components derived from the standard MTB market, in order to obtain a product that can be adjusted by anyone from anywhere. The idea is to amaze by creating a new segment on two wheels, thanks to the refinement that simultaneously delivers the electric motor, via the accelerator pedal, and the additional independent pedaling. After several researches related to the electrical components, I decided to create a system that integrated both the motor and the battery inside. The integrated motor removes the problems of overheating when climbing, typical of other motorcycles with an engine in the rear wheel, while the battery and the integrated control unit improve resistance to water and dirt. After almost two years of work, design, management tests and first sales, I can be very satisfied with the work done and with the companies that have helped me to produce this object.
CHALLENGE: The biggest problem was to create a product that was perfect to the tenth of a millimeter, favoring assembly and maintenance operations. This was possible by overturning the classic concept of the welded tubular frame and welcoming new technologies such as carbon fiber molds and CNC machined aluminum.
