Programme: Programme "Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises" 2021-2027

The project proposal aims to create a prototype motorcycle with the world's first "variable" motorcycle frame, able to adapt to the different positions of the rider's body and depending on the road profile. The innovation is based on two main elements protected in France by a patent of the applicant's sole proprietor:

•Adjustable steering angle while driving (Sign № 1 from the comparative analysis)
Applying the patented solution, the safety and comfort of the motorcycle will be significantly increased, since the distribution of the force along the frame of the motorcycle will give better stability to the front wheel (almost a fixed geometric parameter).

•Dynamics of body position during driving (Sign № 2)
Providing a variable driver position while driving will reduce driver muscle pain (caused by the static position in all available world alternatives). Ergonomically variable body position will also provide additional safety when driving.

The development of the innovative motorcycle will start from level TRL 2 - Formulated concept of technology, in this case product, and at the end of the project will reach TRL 7 - Prototype demonstrated in an operational environment.

The development process will be carried out entirely by the applicant's team, led by the inventor and holder of the above-mentioned patent, without the use of external services, the project activity falls under the field of Experimental Development.

The implementation of the project leads to the development of an innovation, a novelty at world level, falling within the thematic area of ISSS 2021-2027 "Mechatronics and microelectronics", leading sub-area: Design and production of high-tech and export-oriented mechatronic products with high added value, incl. in the aerospace industry and participation in supra-national production chains; Hybrid validation of mechatronic systems through virtual and physical prototypes.
