FABRICATION OF

PROPELLER SHAFT BICYCLE

 ABSTRACT
 The main objective of this project is to make a bicycle without chain drive
mechanism replaced by using Bevel Gear, shaft arrangement.
 This can make to run the bicycle by pedaling low energy man power required.
 INTRODUCTION
In this project we are using Chainless Bicycle uses a fully enclosed shaft drive and
internal hub to protect all the important moving parts. In older days we are using
chain drive it will occur slip. In our project to overcome whatever negative points
in chain drive bicycles.
 OBJECTIEVE
 To increase the durability of a bicycle.

 To reduce the overall maintenance cost of a cycle.

 To make cycle better, comfortable and admirable.

 To increase the overall strength and power.

 To increase the efficiency of the bicycle system.

 To reduce the dirty clothes problem caused by grease.

DRAWING
 COMPONENTS LIST
 CYCLE

 BEVEL GEAR

 SHAFT
 Material purchased
• Mini cycle
• Bevel gear
• Bearings
• shaft
 Work done
• The old cycle problems were rectified.
• All wheels and other items serviced
• Turned the shaft and gear for assembley
 Upcoming work
• Fix the gear arrangement with cycle pedal
• Make drive train from pedal to rear wheel
• Painting
• And document works
 WORKING
 The chainless bicycles use a patented shaft drive system for smoothly and
efficiently transferring power from the pedals to the rear wheel.
 A bevel gear is shaped like a right circular cone with most of its tip cut off.
When two bevel gears mesh, their imaginary vertices must occupy the
same point. Slip effect will be reducing for the system.
 Transmission efficiency is high. It combines the shaft drive with the
Shimano 8 speed gear hubs for smoother, faster gear changer that you
can do at any time while pedaling, coasting or even at a complete stop.
 ADVANTAGES
 Drive system less likely to become jammed, a common problem with
chain driven bicycles.
 The rider cannot become dirtied from chain grease or injured by the chain
from "Chain bite", which occurs when clothing or even a body part
catches between the chain and a sprocket.
 Lower maintenance than a chain system when the drive shaft is enclosed
in a tube.
 Dynamic Bicycles claims that a drive shaft bicycle can deliver 94%
efficiency, whereas a chain-driven bicycle can deliver anywhere from 75-
97% efficiency based on condition.
 DISADVANTAGES
[1] A drive shaft system weighs more than a chain system, usually 1-2 pounds
heavier.

[2] Wheel removal is complicated.

 conclusion
 This Chainless Bicycle System would be able to replace the existing
traditional bicycle system of chain and sprocket arrangement.
 This Chainless Bicycle is run successfully with the use of drive-shaft in
place of chain-ring.
 This chainless bicycle system has manufactured for quiet, smooth and easy
power transmission. This chainless bicycle system has optimally designed
and use drive shaft which consists shaft rod, bevel gears, bearing in place
of chain drive that consists of chains, sprocket.
 This Chainless Bicycle System would be very comfortable for off-road
racing.
 This Chainless Bicycle System requires little maintenance with
comparatively a longer life
