Covered Narrow Track Tilting Three-Wheeler

Abstract

Population explosion has created a void in the 2-wheeler market that requires a design overhaul. Lately, parking has become an emergency concern in cities like Bangalore. A technical way to resolve this is to dynamically resize the vehicles and improve parking prospects. In this study, the electric covered, narrow track tilting three-wheeler is redesigned to eliminate the issues faced by both two-wheelers and four-wheelers while fine-tuning and incorporating the best of both entities. Length of the proposed three-wheeler is lesser by 455 mm and 650 mm in width as compared to a typical micro car. Vehicle ingress and egress, wide door opening and ergonomics consideration of sitting, extended leg comfort, etc., have been taken into consideration. The redesigned three-wheeler is simple to manufacture, has fewer mechanisms and lack design complications. This narrow track design increases parking space and allows easy movement in narrow lanes.
