Design, Analysis and Manufacturing of Efficycle- Human Powered Light Weight Hybrid Tricycle

Any innovation or technology cannot be possible until and unless the work is not done by a team. In such a manner members of Team STALLION (participants of SAE-NIS 2019), who are highly motivated individuals are recklessly working towards the realization of this goal since its very inception. This paper provides in detail, about the design considerations, and methodology used in designing and developing it. The term Efficycle stands for what we called all efficient cycle or hybrid cycle. It is the special kind of cycle moves with higher efficiency than the normal bicycle which has the maximum 60% efficiency & increase in magnitude is almost impossible. In regard to the recent surge of development in the automotive industry, and the growing need for alternative energy source for mobility in day to day scenario, this project carried aims at providing an energy efficient human powered three wheel electric vehicles capable of carrying two passengers. All the features like drive train, brakes, steering, and frame structure has been designed to comply with the requirements of the people.
