Abstract :
the population of world is increasing and therefore the area is decreasing. The essential aim behind our project is to form a transportable vehicle which might be easy to handle by both genders and it should emit 0% emission, also keeping in mind the parking problems, we`ve decided to form a transportable suitcase vehicle which may be folded easily. So after the utilization, one can fold a suitcase and may carry it alongside him or her as a luggage and keep it in home or wherever there`s place for the dimensions of suitcase. For power supply we`ve introduce DC brush motor, which cannot consume fuel for running thus preventing emissions problems. The Dc motor will work on batteries which may be charged reception. Since batteries are often charged, the project is more economical to bourgeoisie peoples. We’ve applied our engineering knowledge also as some references from Mazda’s Suitcase car for the event of this product. It’s an environment friendly, small & cheap project which may be hold by any household member and used within certain limits on public roads. While designing, we`ve targeting power, economy, ease and luxury of riding and low maintenance cost. Also we`ve targeting ergonomics factor to gives the user a cushy ride.
