Form a Team!

E Bike Build Contest

Use a Non-Traditional Power Source!

Teams will need to power the bike with a nontraditional E Bike source such as a starter motor, alternator, hover board motor, cordless drill, or 12-volt motor used for powering something other than a traditional E Bike. In other words, we are not looking for a team to acquire an E Bike kit and fit it to a bike. (YouTube has plenty of examples).

• It can be a unicycle, bicycle, tricycle, or cargo bike
• Frame can be fabricated or re-purposed from a traditional bike

Teams should sign up by September 30, 2022 by using this Google Form Link. 

Ten scholarships to an online E Bike Mechanic training program will be awarded!

E Bikes MUST be completed by January 6, 2023. If your E Bike is completed by November 1, 2022 you will be offered the opportunity to display it at MassDOT’s Moving Together Conference in Boston.
