This paper explores the methodology used to develop the miniature working concept (prototype) of a Uni-wheel Electric bike (E-bike) convertible to an E-bike where the Uni-wheel works on an inverse pendulum mechanism and the prototype model is manufactured using Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) filament-based additive manufacturing using a Fused Deposition Modelling based 3D printer. Uni-bike, which can be converted into a normal bike as per the convenience of the rider. Because of the growing awareness of pollution and the energy scarcity situation, vehicles and motorbikes are no longer the ideal modes of mobility. As the cost of petroleum products rises, a more cost-effective and efficient form of transportation is required. This miniature prototype might be utilized to create a human-ridable model in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
