PiperMoto J1 Super Scooter
Designing the radiators and pipework for the PiperMoto J1’s cooling system to work with a KTM 690 donor engine..
Duration: 6 Weeks
Stages: Ideation to Prototype
Basis: Freelance Project
-
The PiperMoto team wanted to produce a custom cooling system for their J1 super scooter to work with a 690CC engine from a KTM Duke.
-
Matt’s role was to design the layout for the hoses, radiators and expansion tank within the packaging constraints of the rest of the vehicle.
Furthermore, the objective was to match the equivalent system length of the donor bike in order to minimise the pipe drag variance.
These CAD files were to then be used to create prototype parts for the homologation vehicle build. -
The designs were produced successfully and integrated into the homologation prototype build.
