Customized Tricycle for Patient with Disabilities

Abstract

Mobility of physically disabled persons is a concerning social issue nowadays. The basic Tricycle is a three- wheeled design, pedaled by disabled persons in the side and seat in the middle for sitting arrangement. They use only one hand to steer the handle because other-hand is used to rotate the pedal. Our aim is to design a low-cost tricycle that will allows person to accelerate and steer the tricycle from a single place. The way the Bike Chair works is the back is essentially a regular bicycle, but the front turns it into a tricycle, and sort-of makes it a wheelchair and bicycle combo. The disabled passenger sits on the front two wheels, as the driver uses their front wheels to steer the bike. The passenger has buckles and strap to secure the min place and top even them from falling out of the chair during the bike-ride. Furthermore, the tricycle's compact size, maneuverability, and zero emissions make it an attractive option for reducing traffic congestion and pollution in densely populated urban areas. Future research directions include optimization of battery and motor technologies for enhanced performance and efficiency, as well as integration of smart features for improved user experience and safety.
