Fabrication of Tri-Wheeled Electric Vehicle

Abstract

In daily life we can observe the difficulties of carrying the patients, old people, physically handicapped in public places like airports, railway stations, bus stands, hospitals, college campuses etc. To aid such people we prepared an electric tri-car to ease the task of carrying them. Moreover, it is a multipurpose vehicle to carry pilgrims in pilgrim places, to carry inspection teams in industries, estates or campuses etc. The seating arrangement of this tri-car is such a way that the disabled can easily get into the vehicle and also get down. This tri-car is designed and analyzed with the help of the soft ware called PROE. Then analysis is done in Statistical and Modal Analysis. We modeled and fabricated a tri-car into a three wheeled electric powered vehicle with three seats and can accommodate two pillions and a driver. We designed the vehicle to be propelled by an electric hub motor mounted in the front wheel and powered by 48V Lithium-ion battery
