LOCATION SELECTION

The three cities we considered in Germany are:

a) Bremen

b) Munich

c) Berlin

To select the location we took mainly 8 decision criteria:

1) Number of the available workforce

2) Level of wages

3) Distance of suppliers, customers, distrubutor, etc

4) Electricity connection

5) Electricity price

6) Property size

7) Road connections

8) Business figures

To Evaluate the criteria we used Benefit Value Analysis.

In Benefit Value Analysis we calculated the weighing factors and individual benefit

scores.

Based on these scores we came to conclusion of a city. And the city which best fills

all these criteria was Munich which had highest weighing factor and benefit value

score.
And after location selection we prepared E-bike production morphology for

manufacturing the the E-bike. In the morphology selection we chose make to stock

manufacturer.
Product Development

The focus of our product is based on the weight of the product and how the riding

experience can be comfortable. These features were implemented in the HOQ (House

of Quality) analysis, where specific Customer Requirements were solved by Functional

Requirements, with specific targets set to achieve the requirements. ABC analysis is a

type of inventory categorization method in which inventory is divided into three

categories, A, B, and C, in descending value. A has the highest value items, B is lower

value than A, and C has the lowest value. We have collected data of B-001,003…024.

This graph is the ABC analysis.

Clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same

group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some sense) to each other than to those in

other groups (clusters). It is a main task of exploratory data mining, and a common

technique for statistical data analysis, used in many fields, including machine learning,

pattern recognition, image analysis, information retrieval, bioinformatics, data

compression, and computer graphics.

 Impact of clustering activity happens as a result of a “cluster” of interconnected

businesses working together in a region. In a perfect world, clusters would just exist

without much effort. But the truth is it takes a very focused and strategic approach to

bring companies and organizations from the value chain together to form partnerships

for funding, research and revenue opportunities. Clusters also provide “strength in

numbers” and the ability to speak with one voice when it’s time to tackle business,

regulatory and policy issues that impact your industry. This is the brief analysis of

Clustering.
Materials

With Aluminum as our material, we chose Aluminum 7005 as the material for the frame

and the fork after checking on its material performance requirements based on the

following testing methods:

- Yield Strength:350

- Toughness:8

- Density:1.0008

- Young’s modulus:12.64

- Specific gravity:2.5

- Cost per unit property: 2.2

- Performance index: 100

When choosing the material for the ebike components, it is important to take note of the

following:

-Deterioration, which the general durability of the material and Aluminum alloys are not

susceptible to rust which makes it a better choice than steel.

-Economics, which is the cost incurred in bringing the material to its usable form. The

cost per unit property for aluminum is relatively low and favorable considering its high-

performance index of 100. Aluminum can also be easily shaped aerodynamically which

also reduces the costs incurred as the production making it an economically friendly

choice!

-In-service performance, which is the general properties of the material which makes it

a favorable choice for a certain job. Since aluminum 7005 has a low density of 1.0008

which is its volume divided by mass of the material, this makes it relatively light which is
makes the ebike suitable for racing offering a very lively ride. Another characteristic of

all aluminum frames is their ability of absorb electric shocks while offering the best

comfort. The performance index for aluminum 7005 is the highest compared to the other

aluminum types.
Design of the Bike:

- For the design we used SolidWorks 2016 for doing a 3d CAD model. Parts were

designed separately and then are assembled in a

different Assembly Project.

Figures (A) and (B) illustrate the CAD model designed. Figure A

The designing of the bike includes:

- Frame

- Tires

- Brakes

- Saddle

- Chainrings Figure B

- Pedal

Images during the process:

For the 2D Sheet, We decided to use the frame of the bike as it is the major part in the

whole body design. We specified the dimensions of the frame and the sheet contains

multiple views for the frame eg. first angle view, third angle view, isometric view,..

etc

2D Sheet is shown below in figure (C)
