ABSTRACT

EVERYONE NEEDS FUN AND ADVENTURE IN THEIR LIFE. OUR PROJECT AIMS TO FULFIL IT THROUGH DRIFT ON TRIKE. THE TRIKE RUNS ON A MOTORCYCLE
ENGINE AND CAN BE TAKEN UP AS MAJOR DRIFTING SPORTS EVENT. TRIKE IS SINGLE SITTER AND HAS LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY TO PROVIDE BETTER
TRACTION ON GROUND WHILE DRIFTING. THE PRINCIPLE OF DRIFTING HERE IS THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED WHEELS WITH PVC PIPES WHICH WOULD DELIB-
ERATELY LEADS TO LOSS OF TRACTION AND EASE OF DRIFTING. WE INTEND TO USE A MEDIUM POWER ENGINE TO DRIVE THE TRIKE.

INTRODUCTION METHOD AND PROCESSES

DRIFT TRIKE IS A TRICYCLE WHICH HAS 2
WHEELS IN THE BACK AND ONE IN THE FRONT.
REAR WHEELS ARE MOSTLY TAKEN FROM FRONT
GO-KART WHEELS ON WHICH RIDERS IN-
STALL HARD PLASTIC CALLED PVC PIPES WHICH
INCREASE LOSS OF TRACTION, SO ITS EASIER
TO PUT YOUR TRIKE INTO DRIFT. THIS PVC
COMES IN DIFFERENT HARDNESS, ALL DEPENDS
ON HOW MUCH TRACTION YOU NEED. SLICK
REAR WHEELS IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR DRIFT-
ING, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE
MAINTAINING CONTROL FROM ENTRY TO EXIT OF
A CORNER. FRONT WHEEL IS A STANDARD 20'
BMX WHEEL EQUIPPED IN ONE BRAKE. EXCEPT
FOR RIDERS FEET IT IS THE ONLY BRAKE. THIS
BRAKE NOT ONLY HELPS YOU TO CONTROL
SPEED WHILE BOMBING HILLS IT ALSO ALLOWS
YOU TO DO FANCY TRICKS ON THE ROAD IF
YOU'RE A BIT MORE ADVANCED. MOST TRIKES
HAVE PEDALS OR PEGS IN THE FRONT, SO RID-
ERS HAVE SOMETHING TO PUT THEIR FEET.
FOR THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY, WE PREPARED
TWO FLANGES AT EACH END OF THE SHAFT.
ONE END IS KEPT FIXED WHILE OTHER END HAS
SLOT TO PROVIDE SLIDING OF THE FLANGE
OVER THE SHAFT. THE MOVEABLE FLANGE IS
HAVING A BOLTED ARRANGEMENT SO THAT IT IS
ATTACHED TO THE SHAFT WITHOUT SHIFTING
SIDEWAYS. FOR THIS PURPOSE WE USE TURN-
ING, MILLING AND BORING PROCESSES. THE
FIXED FLANGE IS WELDED TO THE SHAFT. THE
FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE IS PRODUCED BY
CUTTING THE STEERING OF A CYCLE AND IS
WELDED TO THE FRAME OF THE BODY. WE USED
ELECTRIC WELDING TO PREPARE THE FRAME
OF THE VEHICLE.
OBJECTS
AIM FOCUSES ON PROVIDING SAFETY AND
THRILL WHILE DEVELOPING THIS NEW SPORT.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE HAVE KEPT IN MIND
THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: LIMIT THE SPEED
IN INITIAL MODEL.

RESULT AND ANALYSIS
AFTER OUR PROTOTYPE IS READY, WE NOTICED
THAT THERE ARE MANY VIBRATIONS IN THE VEHI-
CLE BODY. SO WE PROVIDED SOME EXTRA INSU-
LATION TO THE ENGINE TO DAMPEN THE VIBRA-
TIONS. THE ANALYSIS OF THE MODEL IS DONE IN
THE AUTOCAD AFTER PREPARING THE 3D AND 2D
MODELS OF THE DRIFT TRIKE.
THE PROTOTYPE HAS BEEN TESTED UNDER SEV-
ERAL RUNS OVER SEVERAL PAVEMENT.UNDER
THESE TESTS WE FACED FEW PROBLEMS-
CERTAIN WELDS BROKE,MORE EFFORT IS RE-
QUIRED WHILE STEERING.THESE DIFFICULTIES
WERE THEN REECTIFIED AND SOME ARRANGE-
MENT ARE MADE TO REDUCE THE CHANCES OF
FAILURES.

LITERATURE REVIEW CONCLUSION

THE PROJECT HAS DEMONSTRATED AN INNOVA-

DRIFT TRIKES ARE TRICYCLES THAT HAVE SLICK TYPE IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED AS PER OUR RE-
REAR WHEELS, NORMALLY MADE FROM A HARD QUIREMENTS AND IT IS TO BE AT CERTAIN PAVE-
PLASTIC, OFTEN PVC. THEY ARE DESIGNED MENT ONLY. THE QULITY OF THE WHEEL IS COM-
TO DRIFT, BY INTENTIONALLY INITIATING LOSS OF PROMISED DUE TO COST CONSIDERATIONS IN
