In this edition, the Elisava Racing Team is developing an urban electric maxi-scooter that solves the gender bias of the automotive sector. This project will combine design, innovation, functionality and ergonomics to offer a sustainable, efficient and adapted solution to the needs of all users of these vehicles.

Our maxi-scooter will stand out for its focus on performance and user experience. It will integrate the advanced powertrain provided by Stark Future, consisting of a high-performance electric motor and a state-of-the-art battery. In addition, we will use the most advanced additive manufacturing technologies to achieve a lightweight product with maximum efficiency in its operation.

All this is possible by our sponsors, who year after year provide us with manufacturing processes and knowledge related to their respective industries. These collaborations are invaluable to achieve the excellent results that we will present this year, as well as those achieved in past editions of the Racing Team.

The already consolidated ELISAVA Engineering Lab of this edition consisted of four different teams:

1. ‘Unbound’ is a modular design of running shoes that allows for the customization and replacement of components according to the specific needs of each runner and terrain. Through the use of additive manufacturing, Lattice structures and 3D knitting, it seeks to improve the fit, comfort and durability of the shoes.
2. ‘Roller field hockey goalies’ are protections for roller hockey goalkeepers using simulation tools to adapt to the physical characteristics of each player, achieving a more precise fit and greater protection.
3. ‘Addpad’ is the first modular and customizable padel racket on the market that is committed to sustainability, thanks to the properties of Lattice structures and additive manufacturing technologies.

‘A better way’ is a project to evaluate the design and manufacturing process of Ficosa-Taicang products and thus reduce and optimize the cost of development. Within this framework, the design and development process for the manufacture of housing brackets for future frameless vehicle mirrors has been optimized, focusing on two aspects:

1. Design of a single housing bracket for the two frameless projects received by Ficosa, common to all future projects of this type designed by the company, thus implementing a new, more efficient and effective design methodology.
2. Optimization of the plastic injection cycle of the housing bracket, considering the factors that influence the cooling time, with tools such as the conformal cooling technique.

The team was commissioned by Stark Future to design a supercharger for their Stark Varg electric motorcycle. The result was a charging station for motocross motorcycles that offers a revolutionary and exciting experience for riders, providing faster service, special features and an exceptional community environment. All of this while combining sustainability, convenience and superior performance.

Lattice structures are ultra-complex structures formed by repeating unit cells with a specific pattern. They have several optimal properties such as the ability to optimize material and lighten any part. In addition, they are fully customizable structures to achieve the desired properties.

‘ERT – Lattices’ decided to incorporate to the team a new set of products that follow the line of innovation of recent years: advanced protections for the riders of the motorcycles manufactured by the team. These products stand out for their differential value thanks to additive manufacturing, which allows to obtain directly a final product with advanced technical characteristics.

In this way, ‘Dayna Shields’ seeks to revolutionize the world of motocross with an innovative off-road helmet and armor that adapt perfectly to the shape of the rider’s head and body. This breakthrough takes technology to a new level by incorporating Lattice structures, which offer exceptional strength without sacrificing the flexibility needed to ensure a perfect fit. In the event of an impact, these structures distribute force efficiently, significantly minimizing the risk of injury.

The fourth edition of Elisava Racing Team has given rise to Elisava’s first innovation laboratory for electric mobility. And as a result has created ‘Onux’, a battery exchange and self-maintenance system for motosharing.

Located in 2030, eight students of the Bachelor in Industrial Design Engineering developed ‘Onux’, a battery swapping system that boosts the self-maintenance of sharing motorcycles.

‘Onux’ is the link between the network of users and battery charging management, with the former being responsible for the movement and recharging of each of the vehicles, thus eliminating the impact of the operators who currently perform this task. To this end, a charging station has been designed that works in parallel with a digital system that manages the user network, the swappers. The charging station consists of two differential parts: the charging rack (modular and stackable) and the universal battery, composed of the union of cells and supercapacitors, this improves its performance and therefore has a longer life. The main feature of this battery is its recyclability thanks to an innovative union of cells without welding and a distribution of components that helps the assembly and disassembly of these.

In addition, this is a comprehensive project that includes market research, business opportunities and their development, and the design and implementation of each of the physical and digital components of the project.

The challenge of this year was to continue developing ‘Dayna’, the motorcycle of the previous edition, taking it a step further with ‘Dayna EVO’, the first rescue and assistance service in sporting events that combines a 100% electric all-terrain motorcycle, an IoT connection and a medical service capable of reaching wherever it is needed.

The main objectives have been to maximize safety and comfort to professionalize a sector on the rise and to transform medical actions in the mountains into a more environmentally friendly activity.

To achieve these improvements, a research and development laboratory has been set up, working with leading companies in the sector that have offered their technology so that the students could make the most of it, thus turning ‘Dayna EVO’ into a technological showcase. Thanks to this collaboration, the vehicle integrates cutting-edge components such as the subframe, manufactured by 3D printing in aluminum, and the swingarm, optimized to reduce the vehicle’s weight and improve its structural rigidity. In addition, the handlebars are made of carbon fiber and integrate the stem, allowing for a reduction in both weight and number of parts.

In the second year, students worked on the design, development and manufacture of an electric off-road rescue motorcycle to maximize safety and efficiency in mountain sporting events.

‘Dayna’ is the first rescue and assistance service for sporting events that combines a 100% electric off-road motorcycle, an IoT connection, blind spot and proximity sensors, additive printing, GPS, Bluetooth and a medical service capable of reaching wherever it is needed.

This project was defined thanks to the collaboration with the Emergency Medical Service (SEM), the Rescue and Special Actions Group (GRAE), engineers of Self-Protection Plans and world-renowned racers.

The team that formed the first edition of the Elisava Racing Team project focused on designing and manufacturing a 100% off-road electric motorcycle, which main features are customization, connectivity and safety. They achieved all this by implementing a series of processes and technologies typical of the industry 4.0.

The initiative arose in June 2018, when three students proposed the project to Elisava. From there, a team was formed and organized as a small engineering start-up. Starting with a blank sheet of paper, the team managed to develop a working prototype in just nine months.

This project participated in the Barcelona Smart Moto Challenge, an international competition in which university proposals for electric motorcycles are evaluated based on their functionality, design and associated business plan. ‘Eray’ won five awards (two first prizes for best battery pack and best smart system, and three second prizes for dynamic events, satic events and overall position in category A).
