Bicycle is used for transportation, but possessing discomfort with physical exertion required pedaling over roads and uneven terrains. The traditional tricycles are arranged with extremely high gear ratio. A power assist will improve Bicycle comfort and easy for driver to drive it with comfort. This project deals with design and fabrication of bicycle powered by human and solar energy with drive trains having low gear ratio. This results to minimize the problems and constraints over the traditional bicycle and can be frequently used by school/college students. KEYWORDS: Solar Energy, Bicycle, Tricycle, Drive Train I.INTRODUCTION Solar energy is use in various industries. Solar energy having wide range of application. It is unlimited source of energy that is why we have to utilize solar energy. Solar tricycle takes power from solar energy and paddle mechanism both. It may be called as hybrid tricycle.

  • Blackstone Bicycle Works
    Blackstone Bicycle Works Refurbished Bicycle Buyers Guide Always wear a helmet and make sure it fits! • Blackstone Bicycle Works sells donated bicycles that we refurbish and sell to help support our youth program. There are different types of bicycles that are good for different styles of riding. • What type of riding would you like to do on your new refurbished bicycle? Choosing Your Bicycle Types of Bicycles at Blackstone Bicycle Works The Cruiser Cruisers have a laid-back upright position for a more comfortable ride. Usually a single speed and sometimes has a coaster brake. Some cruisers also have internally geared hubs that can range from 3-speed and up. With smooth and some-times wider tires this bicycle is great for commuting and utility transport of groceries and other supplies. Add a front basket and rear rack easily to let the bike do the work of carrying things. Most cruisers will accept fenders to help protect you and the bicycle from the rain and snow. The Hybrid Bicycle A hybrid bicycle is mix of a road and mountain bicycle. These bicycles offer a range in gearing and accept wider tires than road bikes do. Some hybrids have a suspension fork while others are rigid. Hybrid bicycles are great for commuting in the winter months because the wider tires offer more stability. You can ride off-road, but it is not recommended for mountain bike trails or single-track riding. Great for gravel and a good all-around versatile bicycle. Great for utility, commuting and for leisure rides to and from the lake front.

  • Do Mountainbikers Require Dedicated Commuting Bicycles? a Systems
    Do Mountainbikers Require Dedicated Commuting Bicycles? A Systems Approach Abstract This portfolio outlines analysis of the question “Do Mountainbikers require a dedicated Commuting Bicycle?” Anthropometric, time, energy, materials and economic approaches are taken. Quantitative analysis is completed throughout, alongside qualitative analysis of perceptions of the question. System aspects including maintenance, time, energy use, congestion, environmental impact, user comfort and safety are considered throughout. This analysis is then fed into a comprehensive analytical model of the system which is tested/verified based on survey results. Optimization of this model is also considered alongside qualitative considerations. The paper concludes that the model produced is a reasonable method of determining economic choices for individuals and that mountain bikers are often in a favourable position in buying a second (road) bicycle to commute.

  • Design of Urban Transit Rowing Bike (UTRB)
    Design of Urban Transit Rowing Bike (UTRB) A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In Mechanical Engineering ________________ ________________ By Zebediah Tracy Claudio X. Salazar [email protected] [email protected] Date: August 2012 ___________________________________ Professor Isa Bar-On, Project Advisor Legend Red: Works contributed by Zebediah Tracy Blue: Works contributed by Claudio X. Salazar Green: Mutual works contributed by both Tracy and Salazar Abstract The objective of this project was to create a human-powered vehicle as a mode of urban transport that doubles as a complete exercise system. The project was constrained in scope by the requirement of affordability, under $1,000. This was accomplished through reducing complexity by utilizing a cable and pulley drive train, simplified tilting linkage and electric power assist in place of variable gears. This project successfully demonstrates that rowing can be the basis for effective human powered urban transport. Acknowledgments The UTRB MQP group would like to thank the following people for their assistance during this project. Thanks to professor Isa-Bar-On for her steadfast support and guidance over the full course of this endeavor. This report would not have been possible without her. Thanks to Derk F. Thys creator of the Thys Rowing Bike for his correspondence and for his foundational work on rowing geometry for biking. Thanks to Bram Smit for his correspondence regarding the Munzo TT linkage and his experience building a variety of innovative recumbents. Thanks to Bob Stuart, creator of the Car Cycle for his correspondence regarding his groundbreaking work and engineering insights.

  • New Brand Book
    we are the why more trails close to home? From large metropolitan areas to small rural communities and every place in between, trails enhance quality of life, provide economic benefits and help create community. Trails close to home are more equitable and accessible, inspiring more riders to take up the lifelong habit we love. We know all of this because we have been a part of making these things happen worldwide for 30 years, and we want to make sure it happens in more places, more rapidly. Everyone deserves a place to ride. The national battle is no longer about what mountain bikers are losing; it’s about what they are lacking. 63% percent of recreationists travel 10 miles or less for outdoor activities. Only 10% of people who recreate in the outdoors travel 63 more than 50 miles to do so. (OIA, 2018) About 80% of Americans live in urban areas, a percent that is 80 only increasing. At least 87% of rides taken by mountain bikers are on “local” 87 trails. (Singletracks.com) our mission Create, enhance and protect great places to ride mountain bikes. our vision Everyone across the U.S. has access to great trails—from close-to-home rides to iconic, backcountry experiences. our focus More trails close to home. our goal To grow the quantity and quality of mountain bike trail communities across the U.S. we believe in RESPONSIBILITY We ride, build and advocate responsibly and respectfully, and encourage and teach our community to do the same.

  • A Hybrid E-Bike Case Study
    sustainability Article Are Personal Electric Vehicles Sustainable? A Hybrid E-Bike Case Study Mihai Machedon-Pisu * and Paul Nicolae Borza Department of Electronics and Computers, Transilvania University of Bras, ov, 500036 Bras, ov, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-726-392-909 Received: 22 November 2019; Accepted: 14 December 2019; Published: 18 December 2019 Abstract: As the title suggests, the sustainability of personal electric vehicles is in question. In terms of life span, range, comfort, and safety, electric vehicles, such as e-cars and e-buses, are much better than personal electric vehicles, such as e-bikes. However, electric vehicles present greater costs and increased energy consumption. Also, the impact on environment, health, and fitness is more negative than that of personal electric vehicles. Since transportation vehicles can benefit from hybrid electric storage solutions, we address the following question: Is it possible to reach a compromise between sustainability and technology constraints by implementing a low-cost hybrid personal electric vehicle with improved life span and range that is also green? Our methodology consists of life cycle assessment and performance analyses tackling the facets of the sustainability challenges (economy, society, and environment) and limitations of the electric storage solutions (dependent on technology and application) presented herein. The hybrid electric storage system of the proposed hybrid e-bike is made of batteries, supercapacitors,
