We are excited to present to you our electric superbike; JHC Ukkonen. This page is dedicated on presenting the development of the project from the initial technical specifications up until the construction process. Our superbike projects began in the autumn of 2019. Take me to…
The idea for the superbike project came by Motorclub Imatra and it is meant to be an annual project for students of LUT University and LAB University of Applied Sciences interested in making the JHC Ukkonen better than the previous year model.

From computer to racetracks
It uses a ready-made engine and engine controller, but the body as a whole and the battery are designed by the students at LUT. The design of the bike is based on its performance.
The basis for the bike has been created by modeling the bike and all its parts virtually. The durability and strength of the structure, the shapes of the motorcycle and the use of the material has been ensured and optimized with computer-aided FEM calculation.
The bike does not have a gearbox, but it has a very precisely adjustable accelerograph. The bike accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in only a couple of seconds. The bike is powered by eight aluminum-encapsulated battery modules. The battery life is rated to last for about five rounds of competition. The weight of the bike will be about 190 kilograms – around the same as a normal superbike.
The idea of the bike is to serve as a prototype, which accelerates the development of the transport industry and the dissemination of knowledge. JHC Ukkonen offers thesis opportunities as well as topics and content for courses and research. The bike is constantly being developed forward, so there will be meaningful things to do for a plenty of students for years to come.
Made by
The main purpose of the JHC Ukkonen is to offer students a practical annual project beside their theoretical course reports. Continuity is also an important goal for us: we want to make Ukkonen better each year, while competing with other universities for having the fastest superbike. While superbike projects are easily linked with technically driven people, students from various fields are needed to build one. So far there has been over 30 people involved in building Ukkonen.
