I posted some photos of the electric motorcycle. We removed the engine from a 1987 Honda motorcycle and replaced it with 16 - 12 volt batteries and a 10 HP brushless electric motor.

Well, we finally ordered the hardware that will be controlling the GUI display and interact with the electronics on the motorcycle. We decided to go with the ALIX.1C.

The motherboard comes with the following features:

This school year starts my senior year at Oregon State and also is the beginning of my senior project. I was chosen to work on a team of students to make an electric motorcycle. The team consists of four electrical engineers, two mechanical engineers, and me the computer scientist. My part in this project is to create a user interface or the “dashboard” and provide an interface between the rider and the hardware. I also will be gathering data that can be later analyzed to aid in optimization.
