Wheelchairs are used by people to whom walking is difficult or impossible due to illness, injury, or disability. Disabled people who use a normal wheelchair for mobility and navigation require another person for support and to move around. The mobility of disabled people is a concerned social issue nowadays, most the pe use hand-powered wheelchairs and do not have the physical strength or coordination to propel themselves on the tricycle experience shoulder pain due to steering wheelchairs with only the upper limb muscles for a long time. Driving a manual wheelchair or crutches is a difficult task and there is then the availability of past invented powered vehicles in the present market that can be bought and used for physically disabled people. The main objective of this project is to design and simulate cheap intuitive, and practical powered vehicles. The proposed system presents a user-friendly tricycle that can be easily assembled into a wheelchair at any time. It has a front wheel-propelled mechanism with a hub motor installed inside the wheel. Based on the resultant output of motion analysis achieved by modelling and simulation of the powered vehicle it can be further fabricated. At the same time, this system uses batteries to move the wheelchair and in turn, no fuel is needed, making it a green vehicle. This powered wheelchair extension is designed to power normal wheelchairs and so, it achieves an effective and easier propagation method for patients and handicapped people as well. This extension uses metallic hollow pipes and rods together as a system that is designed to attach to a wheelchair’s front pipe and thus clamp on it. We also use pipes and bearings connected to handles designed to achieve motion in multiple directions. Our team is currently pursuing a chain-drive system that transmits the motor's power to the driving wheel to provide the motion of our extension. The extension utilizes multiple rechargeable batteries to transmit power to the motor and, to change the movement. Therefore, using this extension, wheelchairs will be utilized by the patients and disabled directly to move over shorter routes without being dependent on other human beings. Some research is also being conducted to enhance the current design for making the extension more comfortable and more safety features can also be added in the future.
