Electric Trike


This university project involved the creation of an electric vehicle intended for use in Wellington's central city in 2025. The frame, turning arms, spars, rear dropouts, and front rings for wheel mounts were crafted from steel. The body was constructed using 2mm aluminum sheeting, attached to the frame with rivets. For the seat, we utilized leather and had it professionally upholstered. Additionally, stainless steel springs were employed for centering the bike.

Our power source was a 48v lithium nitrate battery, and the driving force came from a 1000w internal hub motor. We subjected the bike to tests assessing its speed, agility, and performance on inclines, and it successfully met all criteria. My role in the project focused on designing and fabricating the frame.
