Rigid bulkhead clarification

[Elizabeth Wiese]

Hello! In the rule book, it states, " The battery must be isolated from the rider using a rigid bulkhead."

Would you all be able to clarify or provide a more detailed definition of what you are expecting for a "rigid bulkhead"? An example or a photo would be fantastic as well.

 

Thanks,

There isn't a specification on the bulkhead. It should be an appropriate container that will protect the rider and others from the battery in case of an incident. 

Here is one potential option:

When the rules refer to not being able to create a battery, does that mean we cannot combine battery cells to form a battery pack?
