This abstract investigates the evolution and effect of adapted electric assist bicycles designed for amputee legs, providing an innovative approach to improve mobility and independence. Individuals with amputee legs often encounter challenges in finding suitable mobility solutions. The objective of this experiment is to design a bicycle equip with motorized system that can be used by disabled people. The problem statement of this project are individuals with amputee legs face challenges in finding suitable mobility solutions. Traditional bicycles and manual electric bikes don't meet their specific needs, and existing motorized bicycles lack customization. This limitation affects their ability to engage in activities and navigate public spaces. The issue becomes more significant for those who become disabled due to accidents, especially when cycling is their hobby. The initiative intends to improve accessibility, independence, and inclusion by designing motorized bicycles adapted to the unique demands of this group. The project's success might open the way for a more equal and accessible society in which people with amputee legs can enjoy more mobility, participate in physical activities, and have a higher sense of freedom and autonomy. The project I've specifically designed comes with numerous benefits and advantages when compared to other products available. It stands out for its cost-effectiveness, user- friendly maintenance and control, low upkeep requirements, durability, ecofriendly design, and more. In conclusion, the Adaptive Bicycle with a motorized feature, tailored for individuals with amputee legs, stands as a commendable project. Its design, prioritizing simplicity and functionality, aims to enhance accessibility, independence, and inclusion. Through user-friendly features, cost- effectiveness, and eco-friendly considerations, the project strives to provide a practical and empowering solution for disabled individuals, promoting both physical well-being and an enjoyable riding experience.
