Design and Analysis of a Multi-Purpose Small Personal Transport System with In-Wheel Drive System

Multi-purpose small personal transport system is a simple design chassis which allow a
personal to ride the vehicle while standing and use steering mechanism to steer the
vehicle. The transport system includes a chassis having a front wheel as drive system
and a pair of rear wheels attached to the chassis supporting the load and balancing the
vehicle. The drive system include an in wheel motor system powered by battery and
controlled by throttle that supporting by control system. The frame configuration that
used for the design chassis is ladder frame chassis. Then the design and analysis of the
chassis will be based on some criteria like load, bending and twisting of the frame.
Rectangular mild steel tubing with I" height and 2" wide was used for the platform of
the chassis. Engineering software was used to assist in analyzing the chassis before
proceed to the fabrication process.
