Abstract
The present project deals with the construction of a bicycle with a Bamboo structure, a cultivation plant preferably in the southwest of Mexico, however a bamboo cultivated in the Mexican Bajío was used. A transmission based on helical gears was also included, replacing the traditional transmission chain. Solidworks modeling was performed as well as finite element analysis to quantify bicycle safety factors as well as Von Mises efforts. Regarding the assembly and construction of the bamboo bicycle, different cuts of the plant's rods were made to adapt them to the tubular parts of the bicycle frame, in addition to the handlebar. The transmission was assembled with helical gears by coupling them with a power transmission shaft. Also tests were done, already armed the bike, both resistance and speed. And considering testing the transmission with gears.
