FWi: Electric Motorcycle Conversion

FWi is a student project that originated in the FrogWorks design and prototyping studio. See here for the project Facebook page. FWi served as platform for numerous student projects in the School of Computing, the University Scholars Programme and the Design-Centric Programme. FWi achieved the 3rd position in the WAVE 2014 rally in the motorcycle category, after a grueling 1600km course over five Alpine passes. Here is a some spectacular Alpine footage of FWi.
