Framtagning av påbyggnadssats för elektrisk racingmotorcykel : Mattr Collective AB

Sammanfattning: This report covers a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering program at School of Engineering at Jönköping University. The work in the report is carried out by Diako Ahmadi and Rickard Surtevall where the assignment is originally performed by Mattr Collective AB. Mattr has been commissioned by the Swedish Motorsport Federation (Svemo) to follow through with this project. The background to this project is to develop an add-on kit which makes it possible to electrify the 2023 model Yamaha R3 motorcycle. The final goal for the client (Svemo) is to start a cost and climate-effective racing class for electrified motorcycles 2024. Through-out the report, calculations and simulations are presented to evaluate the stiffness of the motorcycle and the technical solution. The mission taker, Mattr, have developed a prototype built on a smaller motorcycle, a Yamaha R125. The outcome of the prototype had some issues such as deficit in its performance and carrying capacity. Thus, this project has covered those points that Mattr had problems with on their prototype. At first, a study has been performed on the motorcycle’s frame where a representative model has been recreated. The recreated frame together with different test methods will act as a benchmark for comparison between the add-on kit and the original frame. This because the manufacturer doesn’t hand out files and technical specifications. During the course of the work, the product development method Double Diamond have been used to make several iterations through FEA (Finite Element Analysis), this to obtain a result by evaluating and simulating. The result of this work is an add-on kit which is compatible with a Yamaha R3, this without affecting the motorcycle’s appearance and stiffness. Through the simulations, the add-on kit performs better together with the electrical components than with the combustion engine in some of the studies. Through the simulations, conclusions can be made that the different electrical components aren’t affected negatively on their performance through high displacements. The world is currently trying to transition to a more fossil-free society, this where electrical solutions are a major contributing factor. Several industries are trying to electrify their products to contribute to a less climate impact, hence the reason for this project.
