US Racing presents its second electric motorcycle prototype

The official motorcycle team of the University of Seville, USRacing, based at the Higher Technical School of Engineering , presented its second electric prototype this Wednesday at the University's rectorate.

For this new edition, based on the knowledge and experiences acquired in its first electric prototype, USRacing has designed a vehicle that stands out for its improved ergonomics and functionality. Learning from past mistakes, improvements have been made in structural parts to reduce weight and aesthetic appearance, without sacrificing practicality.

This achievement is the result of the application of innovative ideas and constant growth by a multidisciplinary team, which includes components from different centers and faculties, whose knowledge and diversity of approaches are of great value to the team.

The majority of its members belong to the Higher Technical School of Engineering (ETSi), located in the Cartuja Scientific and Technological Park, PCT Cartuja, although students from the Higher Polytechnic School (EPS) and Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering are also part of USRacing. (ETSII), or the Faculties of Mathematics, Law, Communication, Economics and Business Sciences and Physics. Together they contribute their skills and passion towards a common goal: facing the climatic and innovative challenges of these times in the motor world.

Example of passion

“USRacing is much more than a team of students: it is an example of passion, innovation and commitment to the environment. Our participation in the MotoStudent International Competition, where we compete against universities from around the world to create the best electric motorcycle , is proof that dreams can come true,” declares the team's marketing manager.

In the MotoStudent International Competition, both the technical and economic aspects of the project and its applicability in the world of motorcycling and road safety are valued. Therefore, the team prepares conscientiously throughout the course to achieve the best results in all categories.
