The document summarizes the design of an off-road vehicle created by University of Texas at San Antonio students for the 2015 Baja SAE competition. It describes the design of the front and rear suspension systems, drivetrain, controls including steering and braking, and the frame. Analysis was conducted using software tools to optimize various components for performance over rough terrain while maintaining structural integrity. The vehicle was designed with a focus on safety, manufacturability, durability and performance given engineering and economic constraints.
Go-karts come in many forms from non-motorized to high-powered racing machines. To build a go-kart, one must plan the design, size it appropriately for the driver, gather materials like tubing and an engine, and obtain welding skills. The process involves building the chassis, installing front and rear axles, adding a seat and floorboards, mounting the engine, and assembling the steering and braking systems. A test drive should only be taken after thoroughly checking the welds, brakes, and engine mounting to ensure safety.
This document describes a product called an Indoor Bike Riding Stand that allows people to exercise indoors using their own bicycle.

Design, Development & Analysis of Loopwheel TechnologyABHISHEKPUND
In today’s world, Bicycles are the most favorite choice when it comes to causes like health, pollution, and the environment. Researches have been done in order to make the ride comfortable. This undertaking report introduces the Loop wheel. The purpose of our project was to reduce shocks on uneven roads, improve shock Absorption & take a smooth ride. Loop Wheel is a suspension system, Built to Experience a smooth ride on uneven roads by reducing shocks! So we replaced Spokes by 3 carbon springs. If we are riding on uneven roads, the spring can move in between Hub and Rim. As it's gone past a bump or bad road then the spring which is been touched to the surface will get compressed and others get to expand! So the whole impact power gets distribute in the wheel and the rider will feel nothing about that impact.
IRJET Design and Optimization of Wheel Hub for Formula ATA Race CarIRJET Journal
This document summarizes the design and optimization of a wheel hub for a Formula ATA race car. The goals were to reduce weight while maintaining strength. The original hub weighed over 500g and the redesigned hub achieved a 50% weight reduction through material selection and design optimization without losing stiffness. Finite element analysis was used to simulate loads on the hub from acceleration, braking, and side impacts. Calculations were done to size wheel bolts, brake disk bolts, and design petals and knuckles. The optimized design had less stress concentration and was less prone to failure than the original. In conclusion, the redesign significantly reduced unsprung mass which will improve acceleration and traction without compromising suspension geometry or behavior.

START w i t h an old bike frame and a used
one-lung engine, add a l i t t l e expert
scrounging, and w i t h less than $40 you can
b u i ld one of these mile-shrinkers for you and
the kids to zip around on.
For week-end hunting or camping, Beats
Walkin' (Fig. 1) increases your range and
mobility. Carry it in your car trunk as far
as your car can go, then unload and take off.
You can make this high-power, high-ratio
sports version for off-the-road use, or with
high power and low ratio, but without the
load-rack, and you have a fast street job. The
same machine w i t h low power and high ratio
is idea' for the younger tots to learn on
(Fig. 11).
If you're in a real h u r r y to save shoe leath-er,
the quickest answer is the Buzzbike (Fig.
2), w i t h a one-stage reduction drive for high
speed (26-28 mph), and bike-pedal foot rests.
Beats Walkin' for street operation has
pneumatic tired wheels and a top speed of
about 26 mph w i t h a 2-1/2 or 3 hp 4 cycle en-gine.
The child's model is primarily for back-yard
operation by children as young as 6
years old. With semi-pneumatic tires and a
10.5 to 1 drive ratio it w i l l have a top speed
of 10 or 12 mph using a 1-1/2 to 2 hp engine.
Controls for all versions consists of a hand
throttle on the handle bars, a brake operated
w i t h the heel of the right foot, and automatic
clutching w i t h a centrifugal clutch.
Any 26 in. balloon tire type frame can be
used. The girls' model (Fig. 11) is preferable
for use by smaller children since the absence
of the top bar makes it easier to get off and
on. Junked bicycle frames are not hard to
find and they are usable for our purposes in
almost any condition. Many shops w i l l sell
a used frame torn down and stripped of paint
very cheaply. Or you can buy a "junker" and
tear it down yourself, discarding unneeded or
unusable parts.
Modification of the bicycle frame to ac-commodate
the engine is shown in Figs. 3 and
5. Saw out and discard a section of the upper
rear fork from about
1 in. behind the seat
post to 6-1/4-in. above
the center of the rear
axle slot. Then bend
down the lower fork
until the front fork,
pedal crank housing
and rear fork rest on a
common base. Hack-saw
almost through
the fork just behind
the crank housing, if
necessary, and bend
the fork down. Then
close the gap by weld-ing.

components of the
frame so that it can be

shop for welding, al-ready
fitted and as-sembled.
A local weld-ing
shop took approximately 35 minutes to do
ours including the welding of the brake shoe
assembly; total charge was $3.50.
Make the Welding Jig from construction
grade f i r assembled w i t h 2-1/4 i n . #10 flathead
wood screws. Bolt the bicycle frame to the
j i g w i t h the front and rear axle bolts, spread-ing
the forks as necessary to fit the blocks of
the jig. For cleaner welds, clean all paint
f r om the frame in the areas to be welded.
Check all dimensions with your frame
mounted on the j ig before making the parts
which are to be welded to the frame, as there
is considerable variation of styling in frames.
Make the brake shoe components too (Fig.
10), so that this assembly can be welded on
the same trip.

gooseneck, and
splash guard according to Fig.
7. If you are making the sports
model of Beats Walkin', you
will also need the floorboard
extension, load rack, and rack
support blocks in Fig. 7
These can be attached to or re-moved
from the finished ma-chine
as desired. A coat of shel-lac
or enamel undercoat on all
wood parts before assembly
will make painting later easier.
Attach the engine deck to the
rear fork with three 1/4-in. car-riage
bolts (Fig. 8). Notch the
engine deck and floorboard to
fit around the pedal crank
housing. Saw out the goose-neck
to match the contour of
the bicycle frame (Fig. 7). Now
assemble the floorboard with
the splash guard, gooseneck,
and engine deck. Bolt the
gooseneck to the bicycle frame with two 1/4 x
5-1/2-in. carriage bolts. The entire bike frame
is now complete and ready for painting. Use
implement paint, which works equally well
on wood or metal.
Wheels for Beats Walkin' are the popular
4.10-3.50 x 4 in. (10.6 in. O.D.) pneumatic
kart wheels with 3/4 in. bore ball bearings Or
use 3.4/3.00x5 in. wheels, which will work
equally well. If the bike is to be geared for
high speeds, wheels with tapered roller bear-ing
hubs should be used (See Materials List).
Sprocket, spacer ring, and wheel assemblies
are shown in Fig. 12. The 40-tooth sprocket
and wheel with matching bolt holes can be
purchased from Sears (made by Indus Corp.,
1815 Madison Ave., Indianapolis 25, Ind.)'
Replace the original bolts which assemble the
wheel with 3/8 in. x 3-3/8 in. long studs cut from

match the round contour of the pipe will aid
in keeping the U-frame in position.
Fit and position the two jackshaft bearing
supports (Fig. 3) and bolt them to the ply-wood

of these parts by fitting to the frame.
Tack-weld all joints, including threaded pipe
joints, then remove the frame from the jig
for final welding.
A 3/8 x 3 in. long pipe nipple drilled out
with a 1/2 in. drill serves as a bearing for
the brake pedal pivot bolt. Install it in the
pedal crank housing with two spacers—5/8-in
wrought washers—(Fig. 9), held with two
pipe lock-nuts. These spacers bear against
the inner races of the pedal crank bearings,
the rest of which are discarded.

chain and sprockets are suitable. An offset or
half-link may be used along with a regular
connecting link to get the needed chain
length.
The Brake consists of a drag-shoe applied
ings. Sprocket, wheel, and spacer rings are
shown in Fig. 12B. (The use of 1 in. pitch
sprockets and chains is not suggested because
matching engine sprockets are not generally
available.)
Vehicle Speed is easily calculated with
the following formula:
Speed (mph) = Engine RPM X Wheel Circumference in feet
88 X Overall drive ratio
For example, to find the speed with the engine
turning at 3600 rpm, a wheel circumference
of 2^2 feet, and a drive ratio of 4 to 1:
3600 X2.5 9000
Speed (mph) = 88 X 4 = 352 = 25.6 (approx.)
Also, you can determine desired drive ratios,
starting with a known speed, with the same
formula rearranged:
Engine rpm X Wheel circumference in feet
Drive Ratio = 88 X Speed (mph)
For example (using the same values as be-fore)

rod and foot pedal, Figs. 8 and 10. Brake
components are attached to the underside of
the engine deck. Position the shoe close to
the tire surface so that contact with the tire
is on the upper two thirds of the brake shoe
for more effective leverage.
Brake parts and kick stand are bolted to the under-side
of the engine deck. Brake pedal pivots in the
crank housing.
On all models, pedal crank-arm housing is used for
mounting the brake pivot, a piece of 3/8 in. pipe

and the drive ratio altered as desired by-changing
the jackshaft V-pulley, the chain
drive sprockets, or both. The Beats Walkin'
(street model) or Buzzbike ratio is approx.
4.3 to 1 which should give a top speed of ap-prox.
26 mph at 3600 engine rpm. With a 2-
1/2 or 3 hp motor this ratio provides for rapid
acceleration and good hill climbing ability.
Use the formula previously given to de-termine
pulley sizes for the two-stage drive.
For instance, a 3-in. engine pulley and an
8-in. jackshaft pulley give a ratio approxi-mately
2.6 to 1. Multiply this by the sprocket
ratio (say 4 to 1) to get the overall ratio: in
this case 10.4 to 1.
Engine Drive is by means of an automatic
centrifugal type clutch which attaches di-rectly
on the engine shaft and takes either
A or B belts. Because of variations in engines
and frames, belt length must be determined
on assembly.
