EE Times Under The Hood - October 8, 2007 - (Page 3) October 8, 2007 www.eetimes.com • www.techonline.com CONTENT Cover feature 6 For the track and the street By Rick DeMeis and David Carey Design is a constant battle of trade-offs.While it may seem that the sole emphasis of a battery-powered motor scooter is on efficiency and that the designers of the fastest motorbikes on the planet are only concerned with speed, that’s not the case. In a one-two punch, we take you inside the Vectrix VX1 and Kawasaki MotoGP racing bike to see how each cater to their prime objective—while acknowledging their antithesis. Of course, this being an electronics publication, we also explore how creative electronics design, coupled with leadingedge materials, enabled the designers to meet all their goals.
