Chassis Design

We have been getting mails and messages requiring blue prints for chassis. There is a lacj of enough info about that on the net.
When we initailly began, we couldn't find any resource on that. We had a hard time deciding on that. We had a few options in mind. We definitely wanted to go for the Fly Type chassis but strictly sticking to it was out of question due to many reasons:

1.) this is an EV and the usual layout would suffice due to the extra requirements like allocation of space for battery.

2.) we hadn't finalised the battery type and all and it could keep changing due to the cost and requiremnts.

3.) we had no previous experience with any pf this designing.

We finally approached Sujith-ettan at Bike World in Kalmandapam, Palakkad. He has some good experience with bike alterations. We put oru problem before him and he said he would help. We drew a rough sketch for him from a few pictures we had and plus the one quad bike we saw at Ernakulam.

We started with the back part. You can see the pictures of the same in earlier posts. Then, we welded together the chassis of a 4S bike and made the necesaary chnages to it.

More details of the chassis design will be put after ur feedbacks.

Thank You.
