Overview
The UBC ThunderBikes is an engineering design team dedicated to building and racing electric motorcycles. We’re excited to be competing in MotoStudent, taking place in 2027 in Spain. For this competition, we are building a brand new motorcycle from scratch.
This is my third year on the team, and I am excited to be filling the role of co-captain. As co-captain, I oversee the mechanical and aerodynamics teams. I manage the day-to-day activities of the team and provide input and guidance to our designs.
Previous Technical Work
Prior to my time as co-captain, I was on the mechanical sub-team. I gained valuable skills, such as CAD, making engineering drawings, and collaboration within an engineering context.
I also did quite a bit of metalwork. I used equipment such as water-jet cutters, MIG welders, angle grinders, and press brakes. I learned to design for manufacturability and assembly, and include tolerancing in my designs.
