We procured the following articles for our project:
1.) 24V, 2 HP, series DC motor
It is a second hand motor but in good condition. We got it from the second hand market in Coimbatore. As DC series motors don't come in this rating (usually comes in 230VDC), you have to custom make a new one. There are a lot of motor manufacturing industries around Coimbatore. Upon enquiry we found that a custom made DC series motor of this rating will cost anywhere from 15K to 20K. We got ours at 8.5K. The motor is in fabulous condition and at this price, its a steal.
2.) two 16 x 4 solid rubber tyres
Forms the back tyres of the quad. Solid tyres, though heavier, are desired as they will be able to withstand all the weight of the vehicle plus make it easily thru all the rough roads. You can find many tyre manufacturers in Coimbatore. There are a lot of wholesale outlets in Upplipalayam, Coimbatore.
3.) two 12 x 2 solid rubber tyres.
These are enough for the front as they are a little less heavier and will be easier to control with the handle bar.
Plus, we have already designed the chassis and the same is being fabricated. More details in a new post exclusively for the chassis.
We are looking for quotations for motor contrillers that we are going to use, prefarbly, Curtis make.
