the sick kids to cut saloon you has played host to some of the world's most prestigious racing events and it's sixteen turns over four point five klicks provide a formidable challenge for cars and bikes the line. this month the track was a hive of activity is big name teams tinkled tweaks and superbikes ready for the twenty to twenty four hour council lumia enjoins race. just a stone's throw away in pits forty seven the students are working just as hard to bring their bikes 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.

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 all agree that it's time we should start using composite materials to produce structural elements structural elements but also for example a lighter box made of composite materials and so on. should be made from high tech materials and carbon fiber offers the perfect way to shore up the structure with precious pounds. glistening black strands on an empty. seat the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and to make sure the saddle sits just right it seems clever use of compazine means that their electric motorcycle weighs just the same as last year's eve i.

after 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 that he should be big enough for two people in addition to the standard motor control given so each team does what 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 ago before race day guessing that the bikes really on time was no small task and he soon 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 step by ready. all the teams have been briefed and then now in his hardest were preparing their bikes for a soft couple of days ahead this year the guys like me have two entries a more casual meet through neutron and the five to proton both bikes have their
6:36 am
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 battery and controller but that's about where the similarities end weighing in it's forty three kilos and with a wheel base of thirty three centimeters the only slightly heavier and longer than his teammate it's rigid frame and swing on a 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 the ride 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 teams allow this truck their bikes must be scrutinised for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle that also a model. acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which

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 oral 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 tomah the overall is the chart of choice of the night falls pack leader alexander result a stand of also known as the surge and the gang even works with the manufacturer of the ural back in the nine hundred ninety s. to create the old al wolf. has been 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 innovations

what i think is happening in the last days sad people essentially leaving in this world when they believe that you know that me to comprehend fear tactics that they simply don't realize when propaganda is being pointed out we need to go but beyond that and actually engage with the ideas and the information that is presented as well and confront that information 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 an open open minded connoisseurs of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be the. lead.
6:47 am
to build a. mission to teach. and we're going to this is why you should care only on the dot com. welcome but as you can see the simple buy insurance race is now well underway so let's find out how the students are getting on with the bikes and the security council. to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets up come for the long haul ahead. on the truck money machine
6:48 am
would being pushed to the limits in the opening hours of the race. anything's possible in such a longer bend on the withdrawal of the. insurance team in the early hours of the morning left the wave wide open for the french team halmos was to take the trophy covering an impressive seven hundred twenty nine blocks. behind the pits life music to a slower pace with teams in their crews enjoying some well deserved downtime. i think i was in for 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
6:49 am
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 into. moscow doesn't any petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern over there in the market for three newcomers. was a bush and his bike champion in two thousand and thirteen has played an active part in promoting the sports in russia nothing beats 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 against much larger petrol bikes 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
6:50 am
championship but i pulled away from my potence 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 want 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 of the. bike is made in moscow by dell or the secrets behind its killer characteristics is all in the motor which despite swing just four point eight kilograms generates nine kilowatts of power which is then fed directly to the wheel the company also builds the frame but she parks controller and software to go with it. the engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they
6:51 am
were also heavy webbing but not that powerful. so they made some prototypes. to start with made up her mind to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts so she would just look inside the engine but there's a fairly powerful air corps. but that transfers heat from the components to the outer body. naturally by the wind. boards 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 that's at the prototype stage. the first batch of one hundred days to this winter and has already been snapped up with a full sized 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
6:52 am
why. it's no good having all these specs if the bike doesn't look the part so della got in touch with moscow based in just to design company for helping. the designers drew up countless concepts from bike before they eventually agreed on the final version. it doesn't weigh a gram more than it has to but we've 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 lightweight. even in this day and age computer models sometimes onsen not fully to evaluate the design. so also pieces in plus to seem to bring the drawings to life and gets the
6:53 am
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 use. extensive experience to make sure the bike is practical as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide a bulky but after a few points has the right balance had been reached. the bikes on the block including the serial f.x. from california and also just k.t. 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 runtime of between twenty to ninety minutes and costs thirteen thousand five hundred dollars when the dell is finished it's expected to be faster lighter and less than half the price. the inevitable rise in oil prices is only going to spot
6:54 am
bounces in energy storage technology making it both more efficient under fordable and most of the but cheap bottleneck has been broken 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 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 the machines by weaving in and out of the cones just like in the insurance test consistency is key and the teams are penalized 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 the proton

was fastest when pits and directly against all that he bikes. for working. night by night and day by day maybe they forget. something along the day. they had a baby body of. challenge two thousand and fourteen is now and. the final totals all the students can do is sit and wait. this year's winners with poland in ecuador with the people's friendship university of russia picking up a special prize for bravery. didn't receive anything so we caught up with emilio unpublished to find out what's happened. in most schools i've. they've designed but well.
6:56 am
he made me and see how do you like but. i was thinking it was 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 and he say it has to be a smart one and i would thought of. the new. technology because i'm sure that the rosy. it was. well 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 puts life goes on the money students may not. but they whomp want to deal with their sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production series.
6:57 am
three 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 and poor through for the growth of the. force will be produced according to our designs. will receive them i mean affection facility is going to symbol the bikes to me the specific asians or end customers or. so who knows perhaps the streets of moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. unlike this one 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 ride.
