Presentation Title
Scooter Solutions: Side Car Companion for 50cc Motor Scooter
Abstract
Scooter Solutions is a composite structured chassis designed to be connected to a two-wheeled small engine vehicle for the purpose of transporting cargo and passengers. Manufactured using woven carbon fiber/epoxy panels with an XPS foam core and Aluminum 6063-T5 framing, the structure must be light for user practicality and reducing engine wear while maintaining adequate strength for the passenger load and debris deflection while exposed to the natural environment. This product is unique due to its carbon fiber reinforced foam sandwich panels with a two-part epoxy matrix allowing for a lighter, more durable side car than its contemporaries. The light weighting is achieved via novel carbon composite construction in substitution of the steel and thick fiberglass used by competitors in this market.
