ABOUT US

The design is the process of developing an aesthetic, ergonomic, safe vehicle which will also meet other performance features without compromising on the comfort of riders. Designers will first translate their ideas into hand-drawn sketches then they transform them into computer-rendered graphics using CAD software. The next step involves testing and developing a prototype. Eventually, a full-sized model is fabricated to translate the look and feel of what will become the final design.

With the developments in technology, bicycles equipped with the transmission systems that includes chain rings, cassettes, front and rear derailleurs are more widespread. However, it has always been a very challenging task for the riders to decide which gear has to selected and when the current gear has to be shifted under certain circumstances. We are incorporating the electronic automatic gear transmission which can satisfy the needs of most of the inexperienced riders. With the optimal gear ready, the riders can always pedal at an efficient range of cadence.

Suspension provides improved control, traction and comfort to the vehicle on rooty, rocky roads. After designing, testing and simulating different types of suspensions, we have perceived all the possible problems with their respective designs and also identified the solutions for them. By integrating the pros of all the designs we have come up with a new design of suspension which inflates the travel rate and control on the vehicle. It is also cost effective and requires relatively less maintenance.

Fabrication is essentially the manipulation of raw materials. The metals like steel are used to make structures, machines etc. It is basically the process by which metal structures are made by cutting, welding, machining, bending and assembling. In fact fabrication is an integral part of the manufacturing process.

One of the factors which will influence the speed of the vehicle is aerodynamic drag. The lesser the drag is, the more is the speed of the vehicle. At high speeds, aerodynamic drag dwarfs all other inefficiencies of the vehicle. The overall drag of the vehicle can be minimized by providing a full fairing to the vehicle. A smooth change in vehicle geometry is needed in order to reduce large pressure differences on the outside of the fairing. A forced induction of slight turbulence at the back of the vehicle is helpful as it increases the normal forces in the air. This air sticks to the vehicle and helps to reduce the low pressure eddies that form at the rear of the vehicle.

Innovation is introduced to meet new requirements, worth better solutions, unarticulated needs in terms of our safety and even for advancement of technology. Keeping in mind the safety of the rider and also to minimize the damage caused to the cycle when it loses stability, we have put forward the idea of using linear actuators. They cause the automatic propelling of side wheels when the cycle gets unbalanced, keeping a cut off angle after which the system activates. This system is placed at a particular part of vehicle where it’s incorporation doesn’t have an impact on the centre of gravity of the vehicle.

We will give our highest priority and enough attention to testing. To ensure proper working of the integrated components, testing process will be carried out at several stages both by using software and also by making use of the testing equipment available in our college. The results produced are then compared to check for accuracy. Rider’s safety will also be achieved after performing the physical tests and improvising the vehicle’s design accordingly.
