  • Help needed in construction of SAE EFFICYCLE!!

    Hello friends, here is a brief introduction of SAE Efficycle:
    "Efficycle is an intercollegiate design competition for undergraduate and graduate engineering students where teams have to design and fabricate an energy efficient Hybrid human powered- three wheeled-electric vehicle. The vehicle must be aerodynamic, highly engineered, safe and ergonomically designed. The design should be commercially viable as a product and should be attractive to the consumers because of its visual appearance, performance, reliability and ease of operation."

    For any more information, kindly visit the website: EFFI CYCLE

    Since we have decided to participate in this competition so I need some help regarding the design and drive system. Right now I am in the process of initial designing and hence questions are slowly coming up. Rest your suggestions are welcome, till then here are some pictures as an example of what sort of vehicle is to be prepared:

    Concept we are following:

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      NO OFFENSE, If you are an Indian you might have seen people pulling garbage vehicles, which is also a three wheeler and also looks something like the second image. . . So, you can just look at those and alter it to your likes and make it look like one of those. . .
