Demonstrates a foldable personal mobility vehicle's functionality and durability, suggesting improvements for space-constrained environments.
This paper presents the implementation of a personal mobility vehicle that can carry a person to a remote destination. The vehicle can be folded in half to save space for storage, for example, in a car trunk. The foldable design provides the benefits of portability, space saving, and being lightweight so that a user can carry the vehicle with ease. The kinematics of the vehicle was derived, and its circular movements were simulated. The complete novel design of the foldable vehicle has been presented, and the corresponding foldable design mechanism is explained. Since the vehicle carries a driver, it should be strong enough to hold a certain weight. Finally, a prototype was developed and tested. Human driving tasks were performed successfully using this prototype, which confirmed the durability of the proposed foldable design.
