Our goal is to design, manufacture, test and refine a human-powered vehicle that can win races and set records. We aim to pioneer a new competition team at the University of Bath that will provide opportunities for aspiring engineers to tackle the challenges of a fast moving, technical project where there are few design constraints, offering the freedom to be creative and innovative. In 2024 we are targeting the World Human Powered-Vehicle Championships in August 2024 at Betteshanger Park in Kent.
The countdown to race day has begun...
The main motive behind the project is to setup the foundations for a competition team at the University of Bath, leaving behind a legacy that will still have impact for years to come. This will allow fellow young engineers the chance to sustainably implement, industry-standard engineering practice to a real-world engineering challenge. We also want to develop our individual skillset, from leadership, communication and teamwork to business acumen, design, and manufacturing.
We are currently generating a concept design along with a brand identity that exhibits our core team values and in-turn use this to gain financial aid using the generosity of sponsors and donors. This is a crucial part to our journey that will determine the direction of this project over the next few months. Our target is to have a full-scale prototype by the early Summer, providing us with ample time to prepare for the World Championships in August.
