The Dynamic Analysis and Simulation of Electric Scooter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main objective of this paper is to provide the methods and techniques to improve the design and manufacturing ability of electric scooter. The loads of some structure parts and the steering mechanism of the electric scooter are analyzed with RecurDyn. The stress distribution of steering mechanism and transmission mechanism can be calculated and performed with finite element analysis software. By using the computational ability and simulation of modern computer softwares, the factor of material fatigue can be found. The results of this research can be used to improve the design of electric scooter in the future.
