This is since a motorcycle, is all in one, the engine, the body, the exterior and the interior of a car, altogether combined into a single space. Thus, a motorcycle designer needs to obtain technical knowledge of motorcycle engineering to deliver a concept from an idea. Moreover, motorcyclists, is a peculiar target group, with a technical knowledge higher than any other vehicle buyer. They need to know their motorcycle function, have a clear image of its parts and understand of their role. Most motorcyclists love engineering and they buy a motorcycle not from necessity but for passion. When a motorcyclist is choosing his next motorcycle, he is considering details that are a lot more different from those when looking to buy a car. It is not irrelevant the fact that when a potential car buyer is looking a car, in which he is interested, firstly steps back to have a full image of the body and the shape but in the case of a potential motorcycle buyer, firstly he steps more close to see the details of the engine and the frame quality and then tends to have a more complete view. In the new upcoming age of electric vehicles, motorcycles are tested as an archetype. Their shape has been always related to their engine and their form had the

  • Future Mobility
    FUTURE MOBILITY Sector report 29 October 2019 – 5:30 PM Automotive – Mobility - Infrastructures CASE: what will change for OEMs CASE (Connectivity, Autonomous, Sharing and Electric) will change the way consumers see mobility and will dramatically transform the industry. Quarterly results will be useful to assess short-term price reactions but, we believe, how every company is positioned in a fast- changing environment cannot be ignored for long-term returns. The industry transformation doesn’t necessarily mean “shrinking”: we believe that the overall size of the profit should rise. But a large amount of business centred on ownership models will be transacted in the future through mobility providers (i.e. services) and current incumbents may not be the winners. We initiate coverages on CNH (NEUTRAL, TP EUR10.3) that aims to be a disruptor in its sector thanks profiting from future mobility trends but it is witnessing an unpredictable AG cycle, Ferrari (BUY, TP EUR163.0) which will use the hybrid technology at its advantages and Piaggio (BUY, TP EUR3.20) where electric will support a new replacement cycle. > Regulators are forcing the transition to electric but pick-up will be slowed down by the lack of infrastructure: EU CO2 targets are forcing carmakers to introduce EVs despite they are still losing money on it and consumers are wobbling. However, slow deployment of charging infrastructure, lack in electricity storage and grids last mile capacity, constraints on battery production and recycling should limit PHEV and BEV to 16% of total registrations by 2025. We believe that electric is a perfect technology for 2 wheelers where “range anxiety” doesn’t apply Massimo Vecchio Senior Analyst and could trigger a long-awaited replacement cycle.

Generating design as “form follows function”, with the requirement, like Dieter Rams said, “less design as possible” shows the timeless reasonable fact of classic style with focussing the end of natural sources. The demand on the beauty in design will never end. But what does “Beauteousness” means in design in the year 2020? How to generate new or timeless beauty in design? How to implement consumers demand for a wider variety of increasingly customized products. The earlier definition of beauteousness during the renaissance time specified the term “beauteousness” in relationship to proportion, which had been measured with length in combination with the development of creating central perspective in art, to focus a harmonious balance of creative elements.

    IR-PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Motorcycle is one of the vehicles rapidly developed, which users are getting higher. The motorcycle’s history was beginning in the late 19th century. This kind of vehicle is the next step of the “safety bicycle” which is the bicycle that have the same size wheel. The first invented motorcycle is a very simple concept. At that time, the engineers have an idea to combine a motorized machine to the bicycle frame. After the century changed to the 20th century, the innovation in motorcycle manufacturing began to spring, start from the frame, engines, shape of the body and added the fuel tank and gearboxes to the engines. However, at that time, the shape of the motorcycle still similar to the bicycle complete with the pedal itself. After 1920 or during the World War 1, the shape of motorcycle started to evolve, no longer with a bicycle-like shape and innovation in the engine continues with the large engine capacity or the number of cylinders. With the increasing number of years, many motorcycle brands have begun to emerge starting from Europe (German, British, and Italy) and America then continued to Japan and innovations on the development of motorbikes continued until now (Hunt, et al. 2015). The sales number of motorcycles is absolutely fluctuating. Nevertheless, the trend of this vehicle is also increasing time by time. The motorcycle more famous after the first motorcycle race was held and all the racer that join in the championship was a man.

  • Motorcycle Rear Suspension
    Project Number: RD4-ABCK Motorcycle Rear Suspension A MAJOR QUALIFYING PROJECT REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE BY JACOB BRYANT ALLYSA GRANT ZACHARY WALSH DATE SUBMITTED: 26 April 2018 REPORT SUBMITTED TO: Professor Robert Daniello Worcester Polytechnic Institute Abstract Motorcycle suspension is critical to ensuring both safety and comfort while riding. In recent years, older Honda CB motorcycles have become increasingly popular. While the demand has increased, the outdated suspension technology has remained the same. In order to give these classic motorcycles the safety and comfort of modern bikes, we designed, analyzed and built a modular suspension system. This system replaces the old twin-shock rear suspension with a mono- shock design that utilizes an off-the-shelf shock absorber from a modern sport bike. By using this modern shock technology combined with a mechanical linkage design, we were able to create a system that greatly improved the progressiveness and travel of the rear suspension. Acknowledgements The success of our project has been the result of many individuals over the course of the past eight months, and it is our privilege to recognize and thank these individuals for their unwavering help and support throughout this process. First and foremost, we would like to thank our Worcester Polytechnic Institute advisor, Professor Robert Daniello for his guidance throughout this project. His comments and constructive criticism regarding our design and manufacturing strategies were crucial for us in realizing our product. We would also like to thank two other groups at WPI: The Mechanical Engineering department at WPI and the Lab Staff in Washburn Shops.

To this aim, an ergonomic analysis of egress/ingress postures has been performed on a physical mock-up, which is considered as a reliable tool when investigating driving space. Six workers with different anthropometries participated to the experiment. The influence of three seat heights, two headlining heights and three headlining widths were tested while participants performed a simulated mail delivery task. Based on goniometers and video observations, a Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was conducted. Perceived discomfort was estimated with a Category Partitioning Scale (CP-50). Results showed that REBA scores were mainly at medium risk (5.18 ± 1.75). Discomfort scores were significantly influenced by seat height (χ2 (2) = 7.79, p = 0.02), especially for short participants when seat height was equal to 760 mm (Z = -2.21, p = 0.03).
