Abstract
The objective of this diploma thesis is to design a small human-powered vehicle, which
will also provide training of the upper-body. The term «human-powered», pertains to the
feet that the movement of the vehicle is derived exclusively via human power, without
any other external sources of energy.
To achieve this objective, existing vehicles with similar function as well as pertinent
upper body exercise equipment were studied. Then, following the development of the
ideas that emerged, it was decided to design a four-wheel vehicle that combines cycling
with rowing. Cycling and rowing are fueling the vehicle's movement and at the same time
constitute the means for training, while driving. Furthermore, a fitness beam is attached
to the vehicle and offers the ability to work out the upper body when the vehicle is
stationary.
Throughout design, the design team has implemented a continuous optimization of the
vehicle’s parts with the help of SolidWorks® software, until the desired results were
achieved. Ultimately, the human-powered vehicle that has been designed and optimized
meets all the imposed requirements.
