Abstract
Traffic congestion, energy efficiency, and environmental issues are fueling the interest in light vehicles. This project focuses on the design of personalized vehicles powered by manual loading. Human-powered vehicles are attractive because of their low cost, ease of use, lightweight, and eco-friendliness, and they deliver an exercise experience that is closer to the abdominal workouts than anything else available today. To analyze and improve the mechanism for the future scope and user-friendliness, we can implement visionary ideas to it. The main objective of this work is to combine both the transport and physical fitness aspects of this vehicle, showing the historical context of these vehicles and presenting the project, with the design developed in a CAD software and the results achieved from another software whose aim is to simulate the structural deformation given the load stress derived from a mass applied on the structure. The tests were carried out with two different masses and the results are presented as heat maps in the designed structure.
