Adventure Moto

The Adventure Moto, or ADVMoto, is a full sized, heavy duty two-wheeled motorbike made by Origin Motor Corporation.

About the Adventure Moto

The ADVMoto is a full sized two wheel drive electrically driven fusion-powered motorbike, intended as reliable transportation for one to two people in rough terrain or places without well-developed road infrastructure. Designed to be powerful, ergonomic and durable, the ADVMoto is ready for adventure. It utilizes a fusion reactor as a power source which gives it plenty of power for exploration and recreation.

History

The Adventure Moto was designed in YE 45 to fill the role of a powerful, capable, and durable form personal transport for individuals who would rather live thier lives off the beaten track. It was heavily tested to insure power, durability, reliability, and capability, using strong materials and powerful mechanicals and electronics.

Vehicle Systems

The Adventure Moto has several systems which allow it to function as intended.

Controls

  • Handlebars: The bike is controlled Via a set of handlebars, which includes front and rear brake levers, a twist grip for the throttle on the right hand grip, and small switches to control the lights and turn signals.
  • Starting and Security: The Adventure Moto comes with a wireless key fob which will automatically activate the bike's systems when in close proximity. This prevents people from driving off on the bike without a key. Additionally, the fob activates or deactivates a handlebar lock to prevent the handlebars from turning if the key fob is not nearby. The Key Fob's signal can be synced to most types of communicators, allowing a rider's communicator to be used in place of the fob.

Miscellaneous systems

  • Lights: The ADVMoto has a full set of head and tail lights, allowing it to be driven safely at night, as well as turn signals, so that other vehicles can have some warning as to what the bike is doing.
  • Cargo Boxes: The ADVMoto has two collapsible Trunk Boxes which allow for the safe carrying of cargo. These boxes are 500mm long x 500mm tall x 75mm wide when collapsed, but can expand to 200mm wide, which gives approximately 50 liters of capacity per box.
  • Cargo Racks: Located on the rear fender, a 200mm by 175mm cargo rack allows for oversize objects, or an additional aftermarket cargo box, to be attached to the bike. On either side of the main fairings is a smaller vertical rack which can be used to attach aftermarket bags and containers to, or simply lash small objects to in order to increase carrying capacity.
  • Under seat Storage: A cavity beneath the seat allows for the storage of a helmet, or a similar volume of cargo.
  • Kickstand: A simple metal tube with a foot on one end, and a pivot on the other, with an internal spring to maintain tension, the kickstand allows the bike to be stored upright without needing to lean it against another object.

Computers and Electronics

  • Main Computer: The ADVMoto uses a simplified Knight with an X-type Quantum Computer Node as its main processor. Forgoing the typical long range sensors used by a starship, this Knight processes inputs from the hand controls and produces the desired outputs as well as reads internal sensors providing information about speed, temperature, power usage, and component condition. This computer also manages the power system and battery charging and includes wireless connectivity for Security, diagnostic and adjustment purposes.
  • Status Display: The Adventure Moto uses two different types of displays to provide the driver with information. The first is a digital display that contains a speedometer, Odometer, a range indicator, as well as light and signal annunciators. The second is a customizable Heads Up display using Volumetrics that can display more in depth vehicle information, as well as be used as a viewscreen and control center for the computer's communications suite.

Construction and Materials

  • Frame: The primary frame of the Adventure Moto is made from lightweight yet durable Durandium Alloy, with Cerastic Flex Ultra bushings placed between key components to prevent noise and undue harshness or vibration.
  • Fairings: The ADVMoto's fairings are made from Cerastic Rigid Extra, making them incredibly durable and resistant to impact.
  • Tires: The stock tires are made from an durable type of Silicon rubber with an Aramid fiber weave creating the basis. Upon purchase, customers can request either semi-slick or knobby tires, depending on the type of terrain they are expecting to ride.

Propulsion and Power

  • Propulsion: Built into both wheel hubs on the ADVMoto are a pair of high powered brushless electric motors which feature regenerative braking. These motors work in tandem to maintain traction in various conditions, which makes the ADVMoto more capable in rough terrain than a typical rear drive only motorycle. These motors are more than powerful enough to move the ADVMoto along at a full load.
  • Power: The Adventure moto uses a combination of a HONEY BURST fusion generator and a set of solid-state batteries in order to provide power to the electric wheel motors. The HONEY BURST operates intermittently, automatically charging the batteries once they hit 10% capacity, and shutting off once they reach 100%. In this manner, the typical 'one week' fuel supply can last months on end or even longer depending on usage. The ADVMoto utilizes two 'Regular' BURST fuel supply bottles, one placed on each side of the generator near the upper front of the main fairings.
