    English Summary Walter Ulreich / Wolfgang Wehap Die Geschichte der PUCH-Fahrräder ISBN 978-3-7059-0381-4 22,5 x 26,5 cm, 400 Seiten mit ca. 500 farbigen Abb., Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag, geb., Euro 48,– 1. Beginnings of Bicycle Manufacturing in Austria and Weishaupt Verlag • www.weishaupt.at Styria (1885 – 1889) High wheel bicycles first appeared in Austria-Hungary in 1880. Since they were originally imported from England, they were called “bicycles”. The word Fahrrad came later (though in Swiss German, Velo became the established term). Regular production of high wheel bicycles in Austria-Hungary began in Jan Kohout’s factory for agricultural machines in Smíchov, near Prague, in 1880, following English designs. Kohout’s sons Josef and Petr made a name for themselves and the bicycles as successful racers. Smaller makers before 1885, such as Valentin Wiegele in Korpitsch near Villach, only became known locally. In Vienna, Karl Greger’s Velociped-Fabrik started making high wheel bicycles in 1884 under the brand name ‘Austria’; the annual output seems to have reached 300–400 bicy- cles. In 1896, Greger was mentioned as “the oldest bicycle factory of Austria and one of the largest on the continent”, and as “ founder of the bicycle industry in Austria-Hunga- ry”. At about the same time as Greger, Carl Goldeband and the sewing-machine factory of H. Wagner also began making bicycles in Vienna. In the years from 1885 to 1889, there is good evidence that bicycles were also being made by Mathias Allmer, Josef Benesch und Josef Eigler in Graz, Johann Jax in Linz, Josef Fritsch in Eger (Cheb), Julius Mickerts und Otto Schäffler in Vienna, Nicolaus Heid in Stockerau, near Vienna and G.

The bike had to be of a lightweight and innovative design that could be folded to a size that would allow city commuters to use it with ease. The first stage of the project was to research the existing market and find a gap that could be filled. It was found that there is a lack of electrically assisted folding bicycles with 20” wheels. Using this information, a number of different concepts were generated and using Pugh’s Total Design process, a final design was found. This design included the desirable electrical assistance as well as a unique ‘slide and fold’ system for folding that allowed for a small folded size. From here, Solidworks and ANSYS were used to bring the design to life and allowed a functioning prototype to be manufactured. Following testing to ensure ANSYS was accurate; this prototype will be taken to the CDIO Regional Competition. i Acknowledgements The group would like to acknowledge the following people for their help during the project. Professor Jim Boyle for his continuous help and support throughout the project. Mr Steven Black and Mr Andrew Irvine for his invaluable help during the building phase. Mr Jim Docherty for the help in ordering all of the components and materials needed to build the bike.
