Innovative Design and Testing of the Vike Bike by PSU Human Powered Vehicle Team

The PSU Human Powered Vehicle Team presents the Vike Bike, showcasing a comprehensive design and testing process. Key highlights include concept development aligned with ASME rules, FEA-optimized frame design, and the use of lightweight materials. The Vike Bike features an adjustable boom, NACA-inspired shapes, and impressive drag coefficients, achieving a total weight of just 45 lbs and a top speed of 39 mph. Rigorous testing, including wind tunnel assessments and strain gauge evaluation, demonstrate our commitment to performance and safety. Explore our journey in creating this cutting-edge human-powered vehicle.
