Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC)

Abstract

This project was initiated to undertake the complete cycle of conceptualization, design, prototyping, testing, and fabrication of a human-powered vehicle equipped with electric assist functionalities. The resulting vehicle was prepared for submission to the ASME Human-Powered Vehicle Competition, serving as the team's capstone project. The project embodies a thorough exploration of engineering principles, incorporating inventive design elements and stringent testing procedures to enhance the overall performance of the human-powered vehicle with electric assist. The multifaceted approach adopted in this endeavor reflects the team's dedication to advancing sustainable transportation solutions, coupled with the excitement of presenting their accomplishments within a competitive framework.
