The
presented
project
is
called
„Dubike”,
it
is
a
concept
3D
compilation
of
an
innovative
foldable
bicycle.
The
main
project
presumption
to
get
the
least
dimensions
after
folding
the
unit.
The
bicycle
is
dedicated
to
regular
size
people
and
it
has
definite
range
(30
cm)
of
seat
high
adjustment.
The
project
work
and
styling
had
to
provide
a
unique
design
among
this
type
of
constructions.
The
folded
bicycle
fits
in
a
cube
witch
such
dimensions:
580x463x406
mm.
This
volume
fits
into
a
trunk
of
a
standard
personal
car.
The
bicycle
unfolds
in
a
simple
way
using
the
help
of
a
few
catch
elements.
The
main
frame
has
a
shock
absorver
in
the
front
and
another
one
under
the
seat.
Dubike
is
equipped
with
lights
that
combine
with
the
whole
style
of
the
bicycle.
The
handle-bar
is
mounting
in
innovative
solution,
it
is
set
on
circumferential
bearing.
The
bicycle
is
equipped
with
a
disc
break.
The
rotary
break
lever
is
an
integrated
part
of
the
handlebar.
Dubike
is
powered
using
three
cogbelts
that
ensure
silent
riding.
This
kind
of
transmission
provides
serviceless
maintenance
and
lightweightness
of
the
gears
over
the
traditional
picht
chain
type.
For
virtual
design
we
used
a
popular
surface-solid
modeler
–
SolidWorks.
We
used
advanced
modeling
techniques
for
parts
and
assemblies.
We
also
used
additional
tools
that
are
working
in
SolidWorks
environment,
for
example
PhotoWorks
and
Animator
which
were
used
to
visualize
geometrical
model.
The
presented
project
is
a
unique
concept
bike
that
presents
capabilities
of
construction
evolution
and
styling
in
one-track
vehicles.
