The sponsor of this project, Transcend Bicycle, is a startup company that has been aiming to achieve a completed design of a CVT-integrated bicycle since late 2020. With this project, they hope to obtain a prototype on which more comprehensive real-world testing can be performed on both the mechanisms of the CVT as well as the computer-controlled shifting algorithm, which will be developed by a separate Computer Science senior design team.

Our team collaborated with Computer Science & Engineering 11 on this project.
