think again because we can check out the national teams looking for racing glory in barcelona. but first glance the catalonian capital seems more touristy than tacky but it looks can be deceiving already home to the world's largest mobile tech conference in two thousand and thirteen barcelona became the birthplace of the smarts moto challenge where it seems of engineering students from around europe came to the city to pitch their electric bikes against each other over four grueling days and last year participants were left eating the dust from bush's make one. named after me famous make one fighter the bike was designed and built by the moscow state university of mechanical engineering also known as mommy under the universities. to use the theory from the classroom to cut their teeth out on the track. back in two thousand and ten take up sneak levy followed another team of students from the uni competing in the

formula student competition in germany held in the country's historic hockenheim bring seventy five teams from eighteen countries bowled into town with a single seat for all races to take part in your bent. although there was no champagne shower for the russian team they did reach the checkered flag despite the conditions which is more than can be said for many of the other teams but motorsports hasn't been on affected by the shift towards electric power off the truck. lot of there's demand for electric transport in europe where parking spaces scarce fuel is expensive and the public is concerned about the environment. as participants in this race we want to support that philosophy founded by a similar trend in russia if those are that people become more aware of environmental issues so that everyone realizes that we only have one planet and we have to look.

builtin nine hundred ninety one. has played host to some of the world's most prestigious racing events and its sixteen turns over four point five clicks provide a formidable challenge for cars and bikes i like. this month the track was a hive of activity is big name teams tinkled tweets and superbikes ready for the twenty to twenty four hour console lumia enjoying strace. just a stone's throw away in pits forty seven the students are working just as hard to bring that up to scratch for tomorrow's inspection. this year seven teams from spain poland ecuador and russia each looking for a place on the podium. hoping to repeat last year's victory and in the face of stiffer competition the mummy students have come back with a completely new set of wheels they've dropped the electric bicycle design in favor

of a fully fledged enduro styled motor bike we don't need the same headlights as last year's winner. has more in common with his complicity in engine cousins next door. mummy is journey to barcelona starts at the best part of a year ago it's one month to put the team together which is made up of specialists in different fields but all sharing the same thirst for victory then followed four arduous months of meticulously planning and modeling each note and well. once the team had settled on the final tech specs it was time to stop pencil pushing and gets their hands dirty in the workshop. software helps the students measure twice and cuts once having fully modeled in stress tests of their frame and forks virtually the team knew exactly what to build and how it's a hundred on the day. with only a limited budgets the guys had to be crafty about which parts to buy in and which ones to make in-house. they opted for steel tubes for the frame. offering the

optimal tradeoff between strength weights and cost. but like anything the finished product is only as good as its components parts. we started exploring new opportunities we all agree that it's time we should start using composite materials to produce structural elements not only structural elements but also for example a light a battery box made of composite materials and so on. take a bike should be made from high tech materials and carbon fiber offers the perfect way to shore up the structure without adding precious pounds. here that seem a lengthy glistening blackstone's on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and resin to make sure the saddle sits just right it seems clear the use of composite means that their electric motorcycle weighs just the same as last year's eve by. up to

nine months of blood sweat and tears all that remained for the mummy team to do was to put the finishing touches on their entry this year the rules of the smart challenge stated teams have to use motorbike wheels and the t. should be big enough for two people in addition to the standard motor control given so each team as well is making it even more difficult to keep weight down the team has been working twice as hard this year and plans to turn up with an a so best leave with only a couple of weeks to go before race day guessing that the bikes money on time was no small task and it's time to find out if the entries perform as well in the truck as they do on paper. back in the tensions building as the first round of scrutineer in approaches the team is told through the night in a race against time to get their bikes ready. all the teams have been briefed and they're now in the pits hard as were preparing their bikes for thought couple of days ahead this year the guys like me have two entries more casual. three neutron

and the five to proton both bikes have their strengths and even these guys don't know which will perform better in the competition the proton and neutron have the same brake system wheels motor battery and onboard controller but that's about where the similarities end weighing in it's forty three kilos and with a wheel base of one meter thirty three centimeters the proton is slightly heavier and longer than his teammate it's rigid frame and swing arm built for speed and require a skilled rider while the neutron slightly springy frame makes it more of an easy rider the protons titanium front forks are lighter and can be tuned much more finely than the neutrons it's hard to smooth let the rider seamlessly shift from one position to another whereas the neutron sacrifice is freedom of movement for comfort. it's may seem like the calm before the storm but before these things a lot of this truck their bikes know must be scrutinized for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle also a modern acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which

will go towards their final score. after the ebonics with tested for water tightness it was time to progress on to the next stage which took place on the dynamic testing grounds in the center of the circuit to cancel your track is the teams have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five meter front and back brake tests to proton breeze the test but the neutral was hit by a spot of engine trouble having made it to the test area under its own steam at the crucial moments the electric motor refused to spark into life. you have been assaulted failures mean you could miss a whole day of the competition going on as a result you could miss out on a few test and lose points but it's never straightforward you can never be sure what will happen. today some of the teams are going to try and turn around yesterday's failures in through a success in a last ditch attempt to get through to the next round. cattle. last night's drama

and hours of head scratching the team monies to locate and fix the faulty connection there vented them machine immobile with both bikes raring to go it's time for the acceleration test his speed is king as it seems takes in turns to open up the slots on the fifty meter straight drag each entry has four attempts at the best time both with and without a passenger and just like last year proton let everyone else down to be won and bought the boat all come from all over europe and so on there and make noise but need a broken at mom dad and her to have an old offering all of that will have. the overall is a cult classic its retro design and distinctive side car have stood the test of time looking just as good today as they did when they first hit the roads over seventy years ago the motor bike success just goes to show that old school will never go out of fashion and the bike is firmly cemented it's nice in the markets such as the motorbikes appeal that the company ships well over ninety percent of

its bikes abroad but don't just take my word for it. brad pitts was not immune to the motorbikes charm and treated himself to an overall tourist three years ago during mcgregor and tumblr founder david karp can also be listed among the aliases with an oral in that carriage. back on home turf or should i say ta much the overall is the chart of choice of the night schools pack leader alexander result also known as the surgeon the gang even worked with the manufacturer of the back in the nine hundred ninety s. to create the old owl wolf. was because we have trained up a whole generation of brilliant amateur engineers who have worked on this machine they've introduced all sorts of innovations to it from minor improvements to groundbreaking changes each of them would first try out their innovation.

themselves and then share them with their friends. pretty much all the roles on the road today were produced in the town of in the urals by the one nine hundred seventy s. the factory which is built around an old brewery had brought us more than seven hundred thousand of the three wheelers whose affordability made them a popular alternative to the car and strong demand for the overall outside of russia mentioned the fight to hit its peak production of one hundred thirty thousand bikes per year around this time as well with the trikes been shipped out to north and central africa europe and even as far as australia but to find out more about the origins of the overall we have to go even further back in time. the history of the all because right in moscow more than seventy years ago on the same year that germany invaded fill the athenian shuttering the until gresham part between the two countries the soviet union was forced to bump up production of greatest planes in terms of motorbikes to scalp defense and to relay messages

before the start of the war the first prototype for all and seventy two had already been made although it was heavier than his. predecessors it was also faster more powerful and more reliable and if you look closely you'll also notice a present any resemblance to the german b.m.w. seven c. one best part of the lend lease program during world war two the us supplied the soviet union with over twenty six thousand hollies and seven thousand five hundred indians but russia needed the zone of graded motorbike by nine hundred forty five the soviet union had produced almost ten thousand and seventy two which were used in the war effort before kicking down again into the civilian population. the overall m seventy two was an exact copy of that b.m.w. are seventy one but the history of how this happened isn't clear one version of events suggests that germany gave russia a license to produce the. seventy one as part of

a resource and technology exchange treaty the alternative is a bit small cloak and dagger in this one five bemis was secretly acquired by go between sweden and smuggled back into the country where they reverse engineered by soviet specialists it's unlikely that evidence supporting either version still exists so you'll have to make up your own mind as to which one you prefer. today and having avoided any copyrights lawsuits the fighting in it beats is still standing it's currently produces around twelve hundred units per year for diehard fans of the legendary bike around the world this year's lineup boasts six models including the m seventy chip used to be original the kickstart of the brand but no matter which one you choose they all have one thing in common. a motorbike is unique you didn't think it is currently the only bike in the world to come complete with a side car. and not just any old side car but a couple are side cars no power driven sports which enables the motor bike to run

on the open road as well as cross-country even overrode the. interest inside cost effectively turns the soviet steed into a full two wheel drive vehicle and behind this retro facade the steel side car can be fitted with modern comforts including a little spare tire and plug sockets or even an ammo kind of stuff for the more adventurous types. the company also ships in components from specialist supplies in countries such as germany japan austria and italy the factory produces six bikes a day and has plans to boost production to meet demand from the new markets in new zealand china and the philippines the company's director and chief engineer both have or else and insist on testing out the latest innovations on their own bikes research different areas when developing or powered side cars. a differential drive like the kind they use in cars. drivers face difficulties when steering the motor

bike due to differential drive specific design features and that's why we need the differential drive switchable you can turn it on if you approach an obstacle and then turn it off once you've passed and continue to explore this area in order to attract new customers with a new inside car wheel is a rare thing. the roles versatility and carried to mean it seen action everywhere from the front line to the streets of hollywood the bikes be chased has been over seventy gays in the making and with the fight she in it beats constantly updating and improving its range the history of the oral is far from. the first off we'll see if some real tech after the break.

still money is the root of all easy pickens and money is the root of all crashes for once every dumb dumb ass but to what fool is one to sell. we profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world and into the future the world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been going down we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer in each of these squares ten kilometers where. good whole area is slated to be claimed of it's her dream for water that's our wildlife service that's where fisheries we stop this is the end game when it takes a true tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know here at the bottom and

that's where. we chill ourselves. when i think air is happening in the west is that people essentially leaving in this world when they believe that you know that need to be in fear and in tact and. they simply don't realize when propaganda is being pointed down we need to go by beyond that and actually engage with the ideas in the information that is presented as well and confront that information and i think that's something that as you mentioned before not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken istic and the more that we can be i guess. open minded khana source of information regardless of the source and i think we're all going to be the.

well kind of as you can see the superbike insurance race is now well underway so let's find out how the students are getting on with the bikes in the security council. race to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets for the long haul ahead. on the truck money machine would being pushed to the limits in the opening hours that race. anything's possible in such a longer bend on the withdrawal of the leading insurance team in the early hours of the morning left a wave wide open for the french team halmos was to take the trophy covering an impressive seven hundred twenty nine blocks. behind a pace life music a slower pace with teams in their crews enjoying some well deserved downtime.

think always in the superbike insurance race but i'm afraid that i can't enjoy listening to the track it's any longer locally there's a greener on silent alternative taking place right now. in the smallest moto insurance race the teams must complete twenty laps of the course covering ten point five kilometers. they should do ten laps solo and ten with a passenger and swap drivers halfway through the goal here is consistency not speed so the time difference between the two drivers has to be as small as possible probably to stop teams from getting one of the professionals next door to three fold them. as you can see bikes and scooters are in demanded moscow isn't any petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern however that creates a nation the market for three new comer. bush and pits champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part in promoting

the russia having reached the top of his game he's now looking for new ways to get his kicks pavel's found a new toy to play with but don't be fooled by. this mighty electric mini can hold its own it gets much larger petru bites as possible found out when he took it to the races. it's much easier to steer this motorbike because it's very light much lighter than bikes that run on petrol it's a big advantage we tried it out in the second stage of the russian pit by championship i pulled away from my posts right from the start and then completed the first lap faster than anyone else i deliberately left the track after that because it was just a demonstration that i wanted to show people how powerful a small motorbike can be accelerate six dreamy fast and i don't think a petrol engine will ever be able to do anything like that it also only has one gear well with petrol motorbikes you need to change gear in every split second it takes you to change gear is important in

a race so this gives you maximum possible acceleration it's amazing really one of a kind. the easy bike is made in moscow by dell or the secrets behind its killer characteristics is all in the motor which despite just four point eight kilograms generates nine kilowatts of power which is then fed directly to the wheel the company also builds the frame the battery packs controller and software to go with it. use but other engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they were also heavy webbing but not that powerful. made some prototypes. from the start we've made up our minds to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts so the engine but there's a very powerful air currents else that transfers heat from the components to the. word cools naturally by the wind. upwards moreover the efficiency of our engine is about ninety percent. generates much less heat anyway.

however the electric bike house generated a lot of buzz so much so that della has already designed three other models including two full sized motocross bikes and an urban version is at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred days to this winter and has already been snapped up with a full sized urban model having a predicted range of two hundred kilometers on a single charge which costs between thirty five and seventy cents it's easy to see why. it's no good having all these top specs if the bike doesn't look the part so della got in touch with moscow based in just to design company hope for a helping hand the designers drew up countless concepts for a motor bike before they eventually agreed on the final version.

it doesn't weigh a gram more than it has to be simply removed all the known load bearing parts and it. is also our original design which allows us to have high engine capacity and with small size and most importantly much light weight long. even in this day and age computer models sometimes onsen not fully to evaluate a design. so auto fuses industrial plus to seem to bring the drawings to life and gets the impression of the final product. after hours of sticking and pressing in most cross bike is beginning to take shape. has been riding bikes since he was a child and used his extensive experience to make sure that bike is private school as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide a bulky but after a few. point is the right balance had been reached. the bikes on the block

including this serial f.x. from california and also just katy m. free ride. the top spec f.x. has a one hundred thirty three kilometer range weighs one hundred twenty kilos and costs twelve thousand dollars to take a c.m. only of the hundreds a much smaller budget capacity given it's a run time of between twenty to ninety minutes and costs thirteen thousand five hundred dollars when the dell is finished its expected to be fast lights and less than half the price. the inevitable rise in oil prices is only going to spark on energy storage technology making it both more efficient under fordable and most the . broken e-books are going to go faster and further than ever before. it's the final day of the smarts moto competition right here in the hearts of boss alone or there's not much between the teams they still everything to go for in this final handling test. in this closing event of the smarts moto challenge it seems

have to show off the maneuverability of their machines by weaving in and out of the cones just like in the insurance test consistency is key and it seems a penalize for every kohen they hit or miss. meanwhile the church took the opportunity to have a closer look at the innovative solutions used in the team's bikes during the design appraisal. the money team seemed to be doing pretty well in the dynamic tests and some was fastest when pits him directly against all that he bikes. for working. night by night and day by day maybe they. did something along the day they had to bury a body of. smarts mode so challenge two thousand and four. fourteen is now over a dozen so the final totals all the students can do is sit and wait.

for this year's winners with poland in ecuador with the people's friendship university of russia picking up a special prize for bravery mommy didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio on public to find out what's hot and. you're pulling in more school i was on. its design but well. he made me and see how do you like but. i was thinking it is not a model white or examine that. the rules just say you have to create a small motor and i think they don't specify whether it should be a scooter or a full size motorbike only say it has to be a smart one and i would seem out of. the new. technology because i'm sure that the rosy. if well. we're here at the moment but there are also

technical tests of which we won every one and yet we still fail to qualify that's what is a complete mystery to us. well it wasn't meant to be this year but life goes on the money students may not have won in barcelona but they hopped on a deal with this sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production soon. mushroom like large cars and large motor bikes that's why we've used the motorcycle riding position and design is the basis for our a bike concept. these bikes will go into mass production thing in peru or through for the growth of the bike parts will be produced according to our designs but we did receive them i mean affection facility has got into symbol the bikes to me this . i think asians or end customers or recognition. so who knows perhaps the streets

of moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. on like this month's show the story of the bike is far from over and it looks like it's on the bright electric future so we'll see you next month until then enjoy the right. amount of martin the stories we cover here are not going to hear any right other big story lines for headlines same time there's a reason they don't want you to know. now let's break the set.
