[Systems Engineering Teachers' Mailing List] Power regulations

[Eager, Bruce L]

Refer to VicRoads - Power Assisted Bikes. Refers you to EU standards which Australia is adopting for such machines. Some years ago VicPol was going to using Segway's  for policing work. Vic roads over ruled and banned the Police from using them.


  *    pedal cycle with one or more auxiliary propulsion motors attached which has a combined maximum power output not exceeding 200 watts. Bruce Eager

Hi all,

Are there published or even un written rules on maximum power for student projects?
I have one student wanting to make a scooter that exceeds the 200 W power limit of Vic Roads.
Another student wishes to make an electric go Kart.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Tory
