DESIGN NAME: Wank-El Moto
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Advanced Motorcycle Design.
INSPIRATION: 1960 ifs/nz kkm 175w, mz trophy.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 1) Wankel Hybrid : This motorbike uses Wankel engine with Electric assistance. 2) Drive Wireless : Worlds first wireless controllers for Quick response & hassle free maintenance . 3) Shark-skin paint : This sharkskin-mimicking paint was developed using a sophisticated formula developed by the IFAM researchers reduce air drag by 30%.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This motorcycle has a wankel hybrid system which is super efficient technology.It has got wireless controls for fast reaction time.Rear wheel mounted on a frame instead of swing arm.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Project Started in February 2012 in India and finished in may 2012 in India. It was a live project so The Director of MZ motorrad, Germany was involved in this project.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 1)FRAME : Aluminium Composite chassis The chassis would first be moulded into a base form and then milled in a 5-point milling machine to achieve great precise cuts and formations without welds. 2)DISPLAY : Mira sol display.Displays information without pixels and operates on much less electricity than LED display. 3)WHEELS: Aluminiumalloy coated with green rubber to aid in the Al-Magnetized breaking system. 4)ENGINE: Duralumin composite, a high tensile rapid cooling composite , very suitable for engine development.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Wheel Base :1454 mm Seat Height: 840 mm Fork Angle : 25
TAGS: New Design language, Heritage, Active Hybrid, Advanced Design.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We used alias to build the final 3d model full scale and stitched that can be used for 3d printing.3ds max vray is very useful tool to create hyper realistic renders and we all are working as a team to achieve the final result in order to recreate the new design language.
CHALLENGE: It was challenging to revive the legacy of a German brand. We need to keep the 100 years history in mind specially the racing heritage and the wankel Initiative. Since we had a special visit inside the museum in Germany, it was very special experience to actually feel the spirit of this brand.
