Analysis of battery bicycle with sliding mechanism for need based adjustments for luggage space

A battery bicycle with luggage space is designed and developed for having variable luggage space available to the rider. The developed design has a frame of the bicycle on which an innovative sideway moving frame for variable need-based space was developed. The developed design was prepared for e-commerce delivery application, for suppling products through easy quick and low-cost mode of transport with variable spacing options. The developed design has a weight of 60 kg with 210 cm, 90 cm and 35 cm as length height and width respectively. The designed bicycle can carry luggage up to 100 kg. The design is powered with 250-watt electric motor and can move with maximum speed of 24 km/hr. The steering mechanism, cargo bucket and the base frame are made in two parts for commuter convenience. The cargo bucket is front mounted, on a sliding frame that enables one half of the bucket to be slid into the other half through side way movement by fitted channels. The design has both electric and non-electric driving modes. The design find application for delivering goods, personal applications and some industrial work. The electric driven feature helps in climbing elevated terrain and reduces fatigue during the load carrying applications. Testing of the designed bike is made with the application of different resistances that includes rolling, wind and gradient resistances. Test results suggest that the developed bicycle helps user in fulfilling their transport requirements of movement of their product better, as compared to the already existing product.
