Final Project Proposal

'Open Bicycle'

What I want to make in this final project is 'Open Bicycle'

  • 'Open Bicycle' has a meaning that whoever make their own bicycle parts and sharing design.
  • At this moment when the start of 'Maker Movement' and 'Digital Fabrication' (So we called the 3rd industrial revolution), this 'Open Bicycle' project will be the solution to the users who want to making their own bicycle.
  • As you can see the upper figure, the part that attaching to the origin bicycle can set various parts. (Like front and rear LED light parts, bascket, alarm for emergency stop using accelerator sensor, preventing theft part using GPS sensor..etc.)

  • In this project, not only make usable parts or hardware platform, but also make web page that can be upload and download, sharing designed CAD file by users.
  • In this final project, I can use the almost method for the making that I will learn in this Fab Academy class.
  • Web page configuration
