Team 16: Team Fold-a-bike Left to Right: Brennan Boice, Alex Cooper, Tyler Gustman, Kyle Van Baren Our project objective is to design and build an electric-powered bicycle that can be collapsed and carried, possibly as a backpack. The first goal of the project is to design a bike capable of a 10-mile ride, remaining under 40lbs, and that can be collapsed into a carriable size when not in use. The two largest constraints on the design are size and weight. Because this bike is going to be designed to fold or collapse to a carriable size, the design must be very focused on keeping weight and overall size low. Additionally, this bike must be able to go a reasonable speed while carrying an adult; it must be able to propel a 200-lb individual at over ten miles per hour. Also, the bike must have a usable range, exceeding 10 miles. Lastly, the design must be able to fold or collapse to a size that can be carried inside a building easily, possibly even able to fit into a backpack.
