(HPVC)
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Human Powered Vehicle Challenge competition is split into two different stages:
“Vehicles are judged on design, safety and performance. The first stage of the competition is the preparation of a comprehensive design report. The second part of the competition includes design presentation and performance events…where the vehicles race against one another in time trials and an endurance event.”
—ASME HPVC 2008 Rulebook
There are three different vehicle classes–Utility, Single-Rider and Multi-Rider. In 2008, ASME competed in both the Utility Vehicle Class and Single-Rider Vehicle Class.
