Project Overview
IThis project explores kinetic energy recovery systems as a potential way to revitalise electric motorcycle racing. Research was conducted on two main forms of KERS, regenerative braking and regenerative suspension. It was found that regenerative raking was the best in terms of recovering energy. However, both systems provided other valuable characteristics including active damping and advanced rear wheel slip control.
