Motorbike Impact Protective Device:

• Develop an external cage that protected the outer elements of a motorbike doing a crash, thus reducing repair cost.

• Simulated and modeled a typical accident by carefully analyzing many videotaped bike crashes. This was done to better understand the traditional way a bike falls and the areas of the bike that are mostly affected by a crash. With this information we were able to create a design that gave the best overall protection without affecting the rider.

• Optimized the design to be as light weight as possible by applying an intricate configuration of hollow tubing that distributed the impact force of an accident evenly over the cage instead of the bikes components.
