The document discusses the concept of transport and the specifics of scooters as a means of movement, highlighting their structure and components. It covers the evolution of scooter design, including chassis construction, suspension systems, wheel alignment, and braking mechanisms. The importance of safety and performance analysis in scooter engineering is emphasized, alongside the balance between aesthetics and functionality.

1. Transport!
Transport refers to the intentional movement of
humans, animals, and goods from one location to
another.

2. Means of Transport
Means of transport are the facilities or vehicles used to
carry people or cargo according to the chosen mode.

3. What Is a Scooter?
Scooters are popular two-wheeled vehicles known for
their compact size, fuel efficiency, and ease of
maneuverability.

4. Fun Facts !!
Did You Know?
• The first kick scooters were handmade in
industrial urban areas in Europe and the
United States in the 1920s or earlier.

5. Let’s check the
components of Scooter.

6. Evolution of Electric
Scooter

7. Frame Construction
Chassis:-
• The scooter chassis (frame) serves as the
backbone of the vehicle.
• It supports critical components such as the engine,
gearbox, suspension, and wheels.
• Materials commonly used for scooter frames
include steel, aluminum, or alloy.

8. Frame Construction
• The frame also acts as a support for the
suspension system.
• Springs and shock absorbers maintain wheel
contact with the road and cushion the rider
from bumps.

9. Wheel Alignment
• Proper wheel alignment enhances stability,
handling, and tire longevity.
• Scooter wheels are generally aluminum or
steel rims with spokes.
• Some modern models feature cast wheels for
tubeless tires.

10. Braking Systems
• CBS connects brake cables from both
left-hand and right-hand levers to the
CBS unit.
• Rear and front wheels receive
braking force simultaneously for
improved safety.
Combined Braking System (CBS)

11. Braking Systems
• CBS connects brake cables from both left-
hand and right-hand levers to the CBS unit.
• Rear and front wheels receive braking force
simultaneously for improved safety.

12. Structural and Modal
Analysis
• Engineers perform structural and modal
analysis to validate frame design.
• Finite element analysis (FEA) helps calculate
stress, deformation, and natural frequencies.
• Recommendations for design improvements
are based on critical stress areas identified
through modal analysis.

13. Conclusion
• Scooter design involves a delicate balance of
aesthetics, functionality, and safety.
• Understanding frame construction, wheel
alignment, and braking systems is essential for
creating reliable and efficient scooters.
