Abstract :

Modified Tricycle for Disabled people" is a paper based on assisting and supporting disabled individuals with one functional leg to easily ride bicycles and to make them feel confident performing work like healthy people. In this project the conventional Tricycle design was improved and some of its parts were modified in order to suit the utilization by such category of people. The design put into consideration that they are not similar to healthy people in terms of strength, balance and flexibility, thus modifications were done in a way to suit ease of usage, and balance to avoid falling. These modifications were applied on three main parts of the conventional bicycle. The parts that causes difficulties were adjusted using CATIA software to work as supporting units as well as facilitating usage of the "Modified Tricycle for Disabled people" by such individuals.
