 INTRODUCTION
Our concept revolves around the creation of a robust canopy designed to enhance the safety
and comfort of both riders and passengers during potential crashes. This innovative
environment not only ensures the well-being of travelers but also contributes to improved
mileage through its aerodynamic design. Remarkably, we have achieved these advancements
without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the two-wheeler. Crafted from cutting-edge
carbon fiber material, this canopy provides an unparalleled level of security for both the rider
and pillion, effectively addressing the concerning fatality rates associated with bike accidents. In
addition to its protective role, the canopy offers a shield against various environmental elements
such as rain, sunlight, and wind, further enhancing the overall riding experience. Our vision is to
redefine safety and convenience in the world of two-wheelers while introducing a seamless
blend of innovation and design.
APPLICATIONS :

Two-wheelers have garnered immense popularity owing to their costeffective mileage and relatively lower
maintenance expenses. In a densely populated and developing nation like India, where car ownership remains
financially unattainable for many, the prevalence of two-wheelers as a primary mode of transportation is pronounced.
The Indian landscape, along with its diverse conditions, proves highly conducive to the usage of two-wheelers. These
vehicles serve as the goto option for short trips and point-to-point commuting, seamlessly blending with the demands
of everyday life. As the Indian automobile industry boasts a substantial market share in the realm of two-wheelers, it's
no surprise that nearly every household harbors a two-wheeler. The potential customer base spans across all segments
of two-wheeler users. Our primary objective is to address the safety and comfort needs of this vast user group. By
introducing innovative solutions, we aim to enhance both safety and overall riding experience. Furthermore, our
endeavor aligns with a broader objective – to encourage greater adoption of two-wheelers by improving their comfort
and efficiency. By offering riders a more secure and enjoyable journey, we aim to make two-wheelers an even more
appealing choice for various travel needs. As a result, not only will riders benefit from heightened comfort and safety,
but the broader transportation landscape in India could potentially witness positive shifts toward safe and efficient
modes of mobility
Objectives:

The central objective of our project is to

develop a standardized canopy kit applicable to a wide range of bike
models, thereby substantially reducing the mortality rate associated with
bike accidents. Our paramount focus lies in harmonizing safety and
comfort, two pivotal aspects of any transportation mode. By offering users
an avenue to experience maximum comfort through a modest investment,
we aim to make a significant stride towards safer and more efficient two-
wheeler journeys. Our overarching vision is to revolutionize the landscape
of bike safety and efficiency, redefining the way riders experience their
daily commutes.
Methodology:

1.Design: Create crash-safe, aerodynamic canopy without

compromising aesthetics.
2.Material: Use lightweight carbon fiber for durability and
protection.
3.Safety: Absorb impact energy, tackle high fatality rates in
accidents.
4.Comfort: Shield from rain, sunlight, wind; enhance riding
experience.
5.Efficiency: Aerodynamics improve mileage without sacrificing
safety.
6.Integration: Seamlessly fit canopy, retain bike's functionality.
7.Testing: Rigorous crash tests, advanced manufacturing for
reliability.
Testing:

Crash test to determine strength of the

material
Rain test
Temperature isolation test
Prototype Development:
At present, we have successfully concluded the phase encompassing structural design
and simulation. Rigorous material strength tests have been carried out, validating the robustness
of our chosen materials. Additionally, we have meticulously developed model attachments
tailored to three prominent bike models currently prevalent in the market. Our preliminary
prototype, crafted using cost-effective materials, has also been accomplished. As we look ahead,
we are actively pursuing MSME funds to elevate our Research and Development endeavors.
These funds will play a pivotal role in facilitating the creation of molds for a wider array of bike
models, thus expanding our product's compatibility. With the synergy of enhanced R&D and
comprehensive model coverage, our objective is to propel our innovation towards its imminent
market launch. The support garnered from MSME funds will undoubtedly accelerate our
progress, ensuring that our innovation addresses the diverse needs of two-wheeler enthusiasts
across the market

Conclusion:

A safety carbon canopy for two-wheelers could offer several benefits such as
improved rider protection from weather and road debris. However, its effectiveness
would depend on factors like design, materials used, and proper installation. Thorough
testing and consideration of regulatory standards would be essential to ensure its
viability and safety on the road.
