a limited budget the guys had to be crafty about which parts to buy in and which ones to make in house. they opted for steel chips for the frame offering the optimal tradeoff between strength weight and cost. but like anything the finished product is only as good as its components parts. and. we started exploring new opportunities 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 lighter battery box made of composite materials and so on. high 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. give the team a length of glistening black strands on an empty milled mold of their seeds the trick is to achieve the right balance between fibers and to make sure the saddle.
4:33 pm
sits just right it seems clear the use of compensates means that their electric motorcycle weighs just the same as last year's eve by. up to nine months of blood to 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 and that she given to each team as well as 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 money 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 russian camp 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
4:34 pm
now in his hardest were preparing their bikes for soft couple of days ahead this year the guys like me have two entries a more casual meet through neutral and the feisty two 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 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. they seem like the calm before the storm but before these things

a lot of this truck their bikes must be scrutinised for compliance with the competition rules and that's just the first hurdle they're also the modern acceleration enjoyments handling and even their business plan all of which will go towards their final score. after the e bikes 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 truck is the teams have to prove that their rides a safe in the three under five metre front and back brake tests in the mix to produce on breeze 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 not as a result you could miss out on a few test 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 success in a last ditch attempt to get through to the next round. after last night's drama and hours of head scratching the team money to locate and fix the faulty connection there vending machine immobile with both bikes raring to go it's time for the acceleration test his speed is king as the team's take turns to open up the struts on the fifty metres 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 standing meanwhile they bought the load of all the come from all over europe and so on they're going to make some noise but need the program at mom dad and work to have its own offspring all of that will have. the overall is a cult classic it's retro design and distinctive sized cars have stood the test of time looking just as good today as they did when they first. at the roads over

seventy years ago the motorbike 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 market 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 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 ta much the oral is the chop of choice of the night's halls pack leader alexander result also known as the surgeon the gang even works with the manufacturer of the ural back in the nine hundred ninety creates the old al wolf. 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 themselves and then share them with their friends that's. pretty much all the rolls on the road today were produced in a 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 reloads whose affordability made them a popular alternative to the car and strong demand for the overall outside of russia the fighter hits 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 there are becoming rights in moscow more than seventy years right. on the same year

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 oss seventy one as part of a resource and technology exchange treaty the alternative is it gets more cloak and dagger in this one five bemis was secretly acquired by go betweens and neutral 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 the of bt still standing it's curly 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 motor bike is unique you

didn't since it is currently the only bike in the world to come complete with a side car. and not just any old side car but the polar side car is no power driven which enables the motor bike to run on the open road as well as cross-country and even overwrote in such an emotional hold of. interest inside cost effectively turns the soviet steed into a full two wheel drive vehicle and behind its ritual facade the steel side car can be fitted with modern comforts including a living truck spare tire and plug sockets or even an ammo kind of stuff for the more adventurous types. the company also ships in components from specially supplies in countries such as germany japan austria and italy it's 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 power type cars are used a differential drive like the kind they use in cars but inexperienced drivers face difficulties when steering the motorbike 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 it will continue to explore this area in order to attract new customers by motorbike 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 years in the making and with a fact sheet in it it beats constantly updating and improving its range the history of the ural is far from over. that's the end of the first we'll see from all three realtek after the break.

welcome by 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 in the security council. to around twenty six thousand spectators who sets up come for the long haul ahead. out from the truck money machine would being pushed to their limits in the opening hours that race. anything's possible in such a longer bent on the withdrawal of the leading loop insurance team in the early hours of the morning left the way wide open for the french team halmos was to take the trophy covering an impressive seven hundred twenty nine laps. behind a pace life music a slower pace with teams in their crews enjoying some well deserved downtime.
4:48 pm
think always in the superbike insurance race but i'm afraid 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 smart's 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 because with any petrol powered machine the environment is always a concern however they create submission the market for three new comers. possibile voice over was a bush and pits champion in two thousand and thirteen and has played an active part
4:49 pm
in promoting the sports in 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 sally's this mighty electric mini can hold its own against much logic 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 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 motor bike 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
4:50 pm
a race so this gives you maximum possible acceleration it's amazing really one of a kind. 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 but you parts controller and software to go with it. the engines that are currently on the market surprised me because they were also heavy but not that powerful. so they made some prototypes. from the start we've made up our minds to use air cooling down which requires much fewer parts inside the engine but there's a very powerful air currents else that transfers heat from the whole components to the. cools naturally by the wind. moreover the efficiency of our engine is about ninety percent. generates much less heat anyway.
4:51 pm
however the electric bike has generated a lot of buzz so much so that dell 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 child. 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 industrial design company hope for helping found the design is true of countless concepts from bike before they eventually agreed on the final version. it doesn't weigh
4:52 pm
a gram more than it has to be simply removed all the known load bearing parts and. there's 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 on sanofi to evaluate a design. so auto pieces industrial plus the seem to bring the drawings to life and gets the impression of the final product. after hours of sticking and pressing been 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 practical as well as pretty the first rendering was a bit too wide a bulky but after a few points is the right balance had been reached. the bikes on the block
4:53 pm
including the zero f.x. from california and also just k.t. m. free ride to be 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 giving 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 fast lights and less than half the the price. all rise in oil prices is only going to spark on energy storage technology making it both more efficient under fordable and most the. broken ebooks 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 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
4:54 pm
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 on the teams of penalize for every kohen they hit or miss. meanwhile the church just 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 they are working night by night and day by day maybe they. did something along the day they had a very very. smart moto challenge two thousand and fourteen is now over and doesn't meet 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. there but then she of your school is in more school i'll throw on. its design bud. well. you made me and see how do you like but for a. judge i was thinking it was not a model i thought examine. 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 sized motorbike i only say it has to be a smart one and i would thought of. the new. technology because i'm sure the big rosy. if what. we're here at the moment but there are also
4:56 pm
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 whomp want to deal with their sponsored universal motors they could see their bikes ride into mass production series. mushroom boats we 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 fourth a couple of the bike parts will be produced according to our designs but we did receive them i mean affection facility has got into symbols the bikes to me the specific asians or end customers or. so who knows perhaps the streets of
4:57 pm
moscow will be buzzing with the sound of the protons and neutrons electric motors some time soon. on like this one show the story of the bike is far from over and it looks like it's on the bright electric a future so we'll see you next month until then enjoy the ride. good laboratory. to build. tim's mission to teach me. this is. only. we chase profits very large very attractive
