Now a days the bicycles are not used because of advanced vehicles. So this paper based on using hydraulic circuit in bicycle. By making this maximum power can get through this process. We can save also the fuels which is available in the earth. It gives the engineers an idea of how the overall system will behave in different configurations.
Introduction: The design project, time restraints forced the Chainless Challenge team to design and build their competition bicycles without acquiring a good understanding of the dynamic nature of the system. It usually includes the quality, cost, and performance of the existing technologies. It is desired that a human powered vehicle be designed that does not utilize a direct chain and sprocket system. Replacing this power train with a hydraulic one presents various problems.
These include reduced efficiency, pedal and pump rotational speed discrepancies, and increased overall weight. In order to offset the drawbacks of efficiency loss, the team added value to the design by creatively using hydraulic components in various configurations.
