Abstract


As everyone is aware, the cost of fuel, particularly gasoline, is progressively growing daily basis. Again, vehicle-related pollution in major cities and urban regions is constantly rising. To solve these issues, efforts are being made to look for additional alternative energy sources or to return to using unconventional energy sources for cars. Again, purchasing vehicles (such as mopeds, scooters, or motorbikes) for every social class is not financially feasible. Furthermore, not all classes of the human society can afford to buy automobiles that run on unconventional sources of energy. An idea is developed to design and create a folding cycle that can be used to get to the closest public transportation facilities, is simple to fold and carry, and can also be used as a trolley in order to solve this widespread issue. A foldable electric bicycle mainly functions as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly form of personal transportation, and the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation is the most promising step toward developing green transportation. In this project we mainly focusing on implementation of engineering skills and approaching a suitable design and analysis of foldable electric cycle. which can be attained by incorporating a feature in this design that promote them to be folded into convenient sizes. Each different folding mechanism offers a unique blend of folding speed, folding comfort, compactness, ride, weight, durability, and price. In essence, we are using a hinged sort of mechanism that requires human locking. E-Foldable Cycle is helpful for environment and also very human friendly.
