  • Students will be guided through this process by academics from the partner institutions over a 9 week period.

  • The process will begin with a visit to Magura headquarters in Germany to get firsthand experience of the challenge. Then a full day workshop to guide you through the design process.

  • At the end of the 9 weeks students pitch their ideas to Magura and the other course participants at an event at TU Delft. The best concepts will be judged and a winner decided.

Magura

Thanks to MAGURA’s expertise in hydraulics, mechanics and plastics technology, the name MAGURA has been synonymous with technical innovation, maximum safety and quality since 1893. Some 680 employees in Europe, Asia and the USA develop, produce and market components for all types of two-wheelers – bicycles, mountain bikes, e-bikes, cargo bikes and motorcycles. MAGURA also offers worldwide services for its products and is a system partner for external customers. As a fourth-generation family business, MAGURA continues to assume responsibility for promoting and advancing new mobility trends with its know-how.

The challenge

Cargo bikes are a growing form of transportation option globally. Their increased length and variable load capacity present challenges to steering and braking.

The challenge will be to develop innovative concepts which address the needs the teams identify through the guided design process.
