ABSTRACT

Our Fabrication project of Propeller Shaft in Two Wheeler, the users to

rotate the back wheel of a two wheeler using propeller shaft and studied the

various drive mechanisms like vehicles to optimize operating performance. Our

project is makes modification in two wheeler in the drive system. Here we

replacing chain drive in to shaft system as a four wheeler. The engine and rear

horizontal rotary motion into vertical motion.This converted rotary motion is to

rotate wheel to propel our vehicle.
