Created by the Saint Thomas Academy Experimental Vehicle Team as an effort to make students bring their own ideas about real life problem-solving to the table instead of bookish concepts, the lithium phosphate ion powered electric motorcycle features unprecedented safety features like seat belts on the environmentally friendly commuter concept. With an enclosed structure made in carbon fiber, Kevlar, and Nomex honeycomb and “crush zones” especially designed with compressible materials like impact absorbing foam, the bike features a frame and full roll cage made from TIG welded 4130 chromoly tubing.

The vehicle is powered by a Briggs and Stratton ETEK electric motor that runs on a 60-volt primary system with 5 lithium phosphate ion batteries and offers a top speed of 60mph with a 40+ mile range. An on board 110 volt charger can recharge the batteries in less than three hours making it a truly practicable concept for the future.
