A custom frame, 275 hp, 25 kWh electric race bike being designed by a bunch of college bozos to put Ducati on their ass.

Back tire in use. Not back side.

Yeah, fast, lightweight, long range. Pick any two...

The reason we started posting on this forum is because we're gauging interest in our build and might start up a series on Youtube later this summer.

Yeah, definitely start up a YouTube series on this build!

This build is super interesting! Can’t wait to see the progress

With the 6 kWh LiPo battery it was 175 kW at the wheel, and 214 kg race-ready.
The new battery will probably make it 220 kg, but have twice the range, and only 145 kW. Need more money for lightweight go-fast bits.

Money cannot buy a light enough battery to give you both power and range currently !

No, but it can buy carbon wheels which would get me back to the 205 kg mark, which is manageable.
One of those unobtainium motors and 20 kWh of battery would be a stellar combo...

Hey everyone! Two years later, we (the new admin team) have rediscovered this thread and wanted to provide an update as to how the build went, as we're finally putting the bike on the dyno this Friday and taking it out to for a track day next weekend.

Final Specs:
Motor: EMRAX 268 MV, 210 kW peak
Inverter: Cascadia Motion CM200 DZ
Battery: Samsung INR21700 50S, 141s8p, 521.7V nominal, 21.1 kWh, 400A peak
Chassis / swingarm: low-pressure sand-cast aluminum 357
Total weight: 560 lbs / 254 kg

Website here with all the specs for the bike, named Zephyrus

Our next build is commencing soon, where we're targeting better manufacturability, lighter weight, and the inclusion of more custom electronics and a better-designed battery

Wow, that is some serious specs!
