Ergonomics
The main goal of the ergonomics is to ensure a smooth ride of 30+ for all riders regardless of height and weight. The design competition requirements are as follows.
- Riders must be able to exit the vehicle in 15 seconds or less
- A 4 or 5 point safety harness must be used
- The harness must withstand all reaction forces
Suspension System
The ultimate goal for the suspension system is to increase rider comfort while maintaining strong electrical connections throughout the duration of the 2.5 hour endurance race. Design considerations are as follows.
- Minimize added weight
- Minimize added cost
- Keep center of gravity low
