Designing the chassis of an electric Brütsch Mopetta replica

At: 3P Pedalo Power Parts

The assignment involved designing the chassis for an electric replica of the Brütsch

Mopetta, a microcar from the 1950s. The goal was to create a modern chassis while preserving the original vehicle's aesthetics. The project followed a structured design approach, involving research, development, and prototyping. Using CAD

software like Solidworks, multiple parts were designed and tested through

simulations. Aprototype was built and evaluated for road performance. The final design included a main frame connected to a swingarm holding the motor and rear axle, with suspension for both the front and rear wheels. This chassis

contributes ot the development of a road-legal electric Brütsch Mopeta.
