Design and Fabrication of Front Wheel Drive using Motor Cycle During Rear Drive Failure

Nowadays people concentrate more and more on the comfort and operability of automobiles. Four wheel-drives in cars have become popular and are in demand in the automotive sector. But the advancement in two wheelers was limited. The concept of two wheel drive motorcycles was not successfully and economically implemented. Two wheel drive motorcycle is desirable in situations where there is rough terrain and high inclination roads which are tiresome and difficult to drive with the conventional rear wheel driven motorcycles. The two wheel drive bikes are apt for farmers, military applications, desert drive and so on. The lightweight 'all-mechanical system' is used to obtain two wheel-drives. Under optimum traction conditions, the rear wheel is actually driving faster than the front wheel and the one-way clutch within the system allow the front wheel to freewheel under these conditions. In our project when the rear drive has a failure that is when chain gets disengaged, then to move the motor cycle we do it with the help of a DC Motor, shaft and gear. A DC motor which is connected to the front wheel using shaft and gear is given power using a battery. Thus the motor cycle will move forward.
