Abstract:
This Bachelor's Thesis in Mechanical Engineering presents the work carried out by the author and designer of this document to design and manufacture the chassis, swingarm, and their complementary elements for a competition electric motorcycle. The complementary elements include those components that are part of the prototype's structure and are necessary to mount other components but are not welded to the chassis or swingarm, nor are they directly part of them. Among these elements are the radiator support, the motor support, the inverter support, the low-voltage battery support, the footrests, the rear brake caliper, the tensioners, and the subframe. To design these components, it is essential to plan their distribution according to their requirements, as well as to design the linkages and the powertrain, since these significantly affect the final design. The project details the work necessary to develop the chassis, swingarm, and their complementary elements. Another relevant aspect addressed in this project is the manufacturing of the designed components and the subsequent assembly of the prototype. The manufacturing processes, the tooling used, the problems encountered, and their solutions are detailed. Furthermore, the final assembly of the prototype is described. This approach is crucial as it allows for a deep understanding of the reasoning and constructive solutions employed, highlighting the importance of visualizing the entire project before beginning the design. In summary, this document reflects a significant portion of the work carried out by the author during his participation in the URVoltage Racing team as a Mechanical Engineer in the 2022-2023 edition of the international Motostudent competition.
