WAYRA Electric Bicycle Concept

•

FOLLOWING THE MARKET ECOLOGY CHANGES, BATTERIES CAPACITIES, AND ALLOWED DISTANCES ON ELECTRIC ENERGY. THERE WERE A LOT OF FACTORS I WANTED TO THINK AND COMBINE ON AN IDEA THAT IS BOLD, AGGRESSIVE, UNIQUE.

NAKED TO THE BONES, LITERALLY

COMPARTMENTS EVEN TINY ARE VERY PRACTICAL

ADDING ENOUGH LEDS FOR THE CITY WHILE EXPERIMENTING THE THRILL ON THE ROAD.

BEING BOLD TO DESIGN A BELT THAT GOES THROUGH TENSORS AND BALANCE IT SELF OUT OF THE TRADITIONAL AXIS, IS NOT EASY. IT REQUIRE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND LEARNING.

WHEN I STARTED THE PROJECT I WANTED TO FOCUS ON A BALANCE OF ELEMENTS, EVERY COMPONENT HELP SHAPE THE WAYRA, FROM THE TIRES STYLE AND BRAND TO THE DISK BRAKES. I WANT TO PRESERVE AGGRESSION, SPORT HERITAGE AND ALLOW THE BIKE TO BE BUILD ON A WORKSHOP, LOWERING COST ON ELEMENTS.

WHEN I STARTED WAYRA I JUST WANTED AMONG OTHER THINGS TO PROPOSE A CHANGE, BE BOLD AND THINK HOW TO WITH THIS DESIGN I MAKE THE DRIVE BELT PERFORM WITHOUT A BREAK USING 3 TENSION POINTS AND A LOWER DIRVE PULLEY. I HAVE TO THINK WHY AND A POSSIBLE RESULT. I GUESS SOME ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS NEED TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES AT A CERTAIN STAGE DURING A PROJECT. BUT AS HAPPY AS IT MAKES ME NOT MANY WHO WILL TRY AND PRODUCE WAYRA WILL ENDEAVOR A NEW THEORY. SO DURING THIS QUARANTINE TIMES I DECIDED TO REVIEW WAYRA, BUT NOT JUST WHAT I WAS POINTED OUT, BUT ALSO BEFORE WAYRA WAS FINISHED, I WORKED ON MORE THAN 50 VARIATIONS, AND QUITE NORMAL FOR US DESIGNERS. I DO LOVE THE FINAL WAYRA AS FROM THE SIDES IS THIN AND YET IS BIG AND FAT FROM THE FRONT, SO WHY NOT MERGE THE FINAL WAYRA WITH THE OTHER WORKS AND STILL GO FOR MORE CHANGES, EVEN KEEPING THE MAIN IDEA OF THE BIG BROTHER/SISTER WAYRA.

MAKING THE SWITCH TO BLENDER MEANT CHANGING A FEW DETAILS LIKE THE LIGHTING. BECAUSE CINEMA 4D AND BLENDER WORK ON DIFFERENT WAYS ABOUT LIGHTING AND HDR WORLD VS SKY. I FOUND BLENDER TO BE LIGHT YEARS ADVANCED COMPARED TO MAXON PACKAGE, NOT THAT IT IS BAD BUT FOR ME IT OPENED A NEW WORLD OF DETAILING AND EASY-NESS.

BIGER CONTROLLER AND A MORE AGGRESSIVE LOOK, LESS SIDE PLASTICS TO SHOW THE STRUCTURE. THE DRIVE BELT SYSTEM IS CHANGED, BUT STILL KEEPING THE MAIN IDEA. I REMOVED THE DRIVE BELT PROTECTOR, BEEF UP THE DRIVE PULLEY AND THROWN IN A PAIR OF CONTINENTAL TWINDURO 7KC 80, I WANTED A DIFFERENT TIRE THAN MY PREVIOUSLY DONE.

THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE PROPOSED IDEA OFFERED TO ME AS ONE OF THE MAIN CHANGES IF WAYRA IS TO BE PRODUCED, I TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS CHANGE "RATIO AND LOSS ENERGY" MY BELT IDEA MIGHT WORK BUT EVEN IF I THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, ITS A CHALLENGE. SIMPLICITY OR DIFFICULTY.

MENTIONS ON WEB AND MAGAZINES

IT IS NOT AN EASY TASK TO FIND THE WAYRA PRINTED MAGAZINE OF BIKE IT BUT I DID MANAGE TO FIND IT "BIKEIT_new_models_catalog_2020.pdf", THE DIGITAL VERSION ANYWAY. EXPOSURE IS EXPOSURE AND IT HELPS BE PROUD OF ONES WORK BECAUSE OF THIS NEW PROJECTS APPEAR.
