Design And Fabrication Of Electrical Motorized Bicycle Wheelchair
ABSTRACT
This paper is on the design and fabrication of an electrical motorized bicycle wheelchair. The units of the wheelchair are first constructed before being assembled to form wheelchair.
The usage is outlined and the assessment of performance of the machine was carried out based on the wheelchair.
The wheelchair is recommended for both inward and outward movements of the disabled. The procedure adopted in writing this project is to achieve the aforementioned purpose.
Chapter one deals with the introduction, chapter two deals with literature review, chapter three deals with the material and method.
Chapter four deals with procedures of fabrication of the wheelchair, chapter five deals with conclusion and recommendation of the project and recognition of needs.

INTRODUCTION
This modern day has brought about a high demand for comfort ability. The ease of disability of humans and their helps are so overwhelming. With this comes the choice of designing an electrically operated motorized bicycle wheelchair to meet up with the demand of the users. ‘
An electrical motorized bicycle wheelchair is a wheelchair that is propelled by means of an electric motor rather than manual power.
Motorized bicycle wheelchairs are useful for those unable to propel a manual wheelchair or who may need to use a wheelchair for distance or over terrain which would be fatiguing in a manual wheelchair.
Furthermore, they may also be used not just by people with traditional mobility impairments, but also by people with cardiovascular and fatigue based conditions.
Any disabled person with a mobility, fatigue or pain- based impairment issues may find a power chair advantageous in some circumstances.
However, existing prescription practices generally means that power chair for such use must be private procured or hired for the occasions.
