Abstract

In the current paper was approached the braking system of tricycles for controlled skidding, which are used by lovers of extreme sports. The complete modeling of such a tricycle has been performed and its braking system has been improved for a great performance and a better controlled braking. Also, simulation tests were performed using the finite element to achieve the best constructive variant of the brake disc.

Highlights

  • 1.1 Bike trike for controlled skidding For the model studied was used a combination between a kart and a bike

  • Five different types of brake discs will be analyzed in terms of their geometry, for their analysis the same type of material will be used, a semi-metallic material

  • 4.3 Variant III - Hydraulic braking system, with individual actuation of each wheel. This last constructive variant, which has as main purpose, the improvement of the braking systems for the tricycles destined for the controlled skidding, brings the combination between the first two constructive variants

Summary

Introduction

1.1 Bike trike for controlled skidding For the model studied was used a combination between a kart and a bike. It is used by adrenaline enthusiasts for different high speed sports. The inventors of special made tricycle destined for controlled skidding took over from the bicycles the front part made up of the wheel, fork and guide assembly, and from the karts they took over its rear part, more precisely the motorized part [1] [2]. The brakes are very demanding, they are used almost permanently by the user. Drifting tricycles are equipped with different braking mechanisms, both on the back and on the front of it [3]. Many of low budget tricycles are made by home users, as they are easy vehicles to make.
