Effi Cycle Presentation

Dynamic Sectors of The Effi-Cycle

Sectors Discussed

• Transmission System• Braking Systems• Suspension Systems• Misc. Dynamic Parts Involved

Transmission Systems

• Early self driven locomotive systems used to have the driver right above the wheel for manually powering it.

• Leonardo Da Vinci with his innovative idea of chain and sprocket(cog).

• With this it was possible to have the driver in the middle of the two wheels for better balancing and comfort

Chain and Sprocket Drive with Derailleur System

• Components• Pedal (extendable)• Cranset• Chain• Cogset• Derailleur Gears (Front/Rear)• Shifters• Bowden Cables• Chain Tubes

Chain and Sprocket Drive with Derailleur SystemContd..

• This is a conventional system used in every mechanically driven locomotion systems.

• The chain alignment and their spacing can be done according to our trike design.

• The chains and can be extended from the pedal to derailleur using chain tubes and sprocket pulleys.

Braking Systems

• Since efficient braking system is also evaluated in the competition and also its one of the most important component in the trike, Disc Brakes.

Suspension Systems

• These are very important for smooth ride• Their locations will be at some key places for almost all

the designs.• Only their orientations and dimensions may vary

according to the chassis design• Key spots are• Head Tube Forks• Wheel to Chassis Zone• Seat Stay to Hub

Suspension Systems Contd..

• Usually for front and rear two different types of suspensions are used• Front : Simple Spring• Rear : Spring with a damper

• The suspension systems specifications will be a standard set.

• We need to use according to the simulation results
