1.Introduction
The unicycle is a one wheel bike that needs the rider to balance it without falling
down. It usually can be seen at the circus show where the clown riding them in a
dangerous form to entertain the audiences. The rider needs to find the centre of gravity
by balancing their body and also controlling the pedal. The bike could fall in four
directions which are left, right, forward and back. It means that the rider have to balance
the bike from falling down by balancing all directions. In the modern era, the unicycle
has advances to more sophisticated design. The movement of the bike is control by
using a DC motor.
F1.3 The Side View Of Unicycle F1.4 The Isometric View Of Unicycle
It is hard to control the stability of the bike since it depends on motor instead of the
rider's pedal force to create the movement. The design considers the rider’s
comfortable. It comes with cushion seat, the handle for grip, the foot rest, speedometer
and the front light for night travelling. So, there will be a large space for the battery to
power the motor and for other electronics devices. The design also needs to be
validating with the weight of the unicycle that reach about 25kg.Both accelerometer and
gyroscope must work together to balance the unicycle. This is because with
accelerometer alone, there is much noise produces although when the object is at rest
mode and accelerometer cannot differentiate between the acceleration caused by the
movement or the gravity. So the tilt angle could not be defined well because of these
noises. If the gyroscope is used alone, there will be drift phenomenon occurs. The drift
phenomenon is an error that the object is producing an output although the motor is
not moving. Thus, the object cannot stand still and it is hard to achieve the stability.
Electric scooters are an environmental friendly transportation medium that going to be
used by our future generation broadly. E-Scooters are green and economical which is a
crucial factor for social and economical development nowadays.
2. Background Theory.
2.1 Background Theory(or Theoretical basis) on ‘Project Topic’ should comprise of:
3.1 Title
3.2 Aim
To design and fabricate a low cost electric powered mono- wheel scooter
that facilitates reduced space consumption on roads
3.3 Objectives
2 To carry out the Referring to the different Journal papers, Free and
detailed designing models which is evolved hand sketching tools
specification of the from beginning stage to
mono wheel electric latest technology for
mono wheel scooter designing of mono wheel
vehicle
3 To perform the FE To perform finite element Using Ansys software
analysis of the analysis for the chassis,
finalized concept and using hand calculation
carryout stability and and Ansys software
analysis of the mono To find the center of
wheel scooter gravity (CG) for all the
components
4. Problem Solving
The permanent magnet brushless DC motors use Hall sensors with 60 degrees of
electrical spacing. These sensors produce a logic 1 when exposed to the N-type of the
rotor and logic 0 otherwise.
The fields produced by the stator and rotor remain stationary with respect to
each other.
The driver circuit operates on a dc supply
Speed = 380 Rpm
= 5 m/s
N = 376.41 RPM
To achieve 18 Km/hr speed we need 376.41RPM motor, 376.41 RPM motor is not
available we can consider 380 RPM hub motor
Specification of motor are
Now
Gross Vehicle weight(GVW) = 100kg
Radius = 0.125 m
Acceleration = 4-5 sec
Top speed = 18 km/hr
Maximum incline angel(α) = 12o
Where,
RR = rolling resistance (N)
WW = weight on wheel (kg)
= Rolling friction co-efficient
Now
4.1.3 Gyroscope
The cathode forms the negative terminal whereas anode forms the positive terminal
of a battery. To understand the basic principle of battery properly, first, we should have
some basic concept of electrolytes and electrons affinity. Actually, when two dissimilar
metals are immersed in an electrolyte, there will be a potential difference produced
between these metals.
Battery calculation
• Battery pack for 25 Km travel at the speed of 18 Km/hr
• Speed = 18 Km/hr
• Current = 20 Amps
• Acceleration time = 5 sec
• Effective current = 20 1.05 =21 Amps
1. To determine power (Watts)
/hr
=2057.50 Watts
From the above calculation it is cleared that the battery capacity should be 2057.50 W,
we can consider 2 kW lithium ion battery

Results
The following results have been obtained by considering the maximum speed of the
electric scooter at 18 km/hr
• The required speed of the motor is 376.41rpm
• The power required to the motor is 1841W
• The acceleration time is 4secs
• The required battery capacity is 2KW
• The sensor used for balancing is MPU-6050
• The maximum travel range of vehicle is 25km/charge
F 5.5 painting
After the fabrication the painting for the sheet metal body is done to avoid the
rusting of the metals and to give a aesthetic appearance the detailed painting is done.
7.1 Conclusion
The self-balancing personal transporter has ability to carry a person to move from one
place to another within the large campus. The vehicle will balances itself by moving the
device in forward direction or backward direction base on the readings from sensors.
Thus the monowheel is much helpful in the large campuses like airports, universities,
space centers and in large industries etc. This system reduces the work of humans as
well as no pollution it provides ecofriendlyenvironment.It was designed and constructed
a mean of transport based on electric energy, easy to drive in urban zones to improve
the people viability, getting a speed of 25 km/h. It was chosen a lithium-ion battery to
present a great lifetime (60V), with a gyroscopic sensor respectively that sends the
signals to a Brushless electric motor of 240W. The electric unicycle doesn´t contaminate,
in an acoustic or atmospheric way, besides it doesn´t provoke vehicular traffic
congestion, being a great, novel and technological contribution. After the research
process in the mobility system, it is clear the width superiority in respect to efficiency, in
comparison to conventional means of transport.
7.2Future Work
• According to the research reviewed, many projects have been performed on
monowheel vehicle in our project, we are attempting to apply a design that is
suited for customers to balance and drive simply, as well as being
environmentally friendly and compact in size.
• Mono Wheel bike which is present in the day life comes with a Gyroscopic which
increases the manufacturing cost of the bike, where as we came up with an idea
which eliminates the Gyroscopic and reduce the cost of the bike
• In the future work, the load carrying capacity can be increase.
• Distance travelled can be maximize.
• Charging time can be improved
