Project Kirin is a year-long collaborative research project where I worked with electric vehicle engineers from Local Motors and senior industrial designers from Husky design to develop an electric motorcycle. In this project, I explored my passion for the environment, motorcycles, and design. I explored different motorcycle dealerships, getting standardized measurements from all the bikes that are currently on the market, and explored new ways to look at making and changing out batteries in electric vehicles in my exploration of the motorcycles’ anatomy. My end result was a highly complex model made of over 12,700 parts.
