Abstract
Recently the global oil price has been raising and the environment protection issue has been mentioned frequently. A lot of office workers ride their bicycles and take the public transportation to the work place instead of motorcycles. This study is to design a nimble and foldable bicycle which is needed in new environment for office workers. Moreover, the design of wheel hub auto-lamp without batteries for riders to ensure safety as riding at night makes the bicycle design well complete.n the folding bicycle design, firstly, in order to know how to design around folding bicycles, in this thesis patents were searched to compare and sort each different types of these folding bicycles and analysis strong and weak point of them . econdly, 3D CAD was used to design three models, the most suitable one was selected by comparing and discussing their characteristics. After all, the bicycle design ideal was analysed on patentability and discussed. n the wheel hub auto-lamp, it is set on the wheel of hub and the principle of it is that Magnetism produces an electric current to make the lamp light, so that other people at both sides of the bicycle will notice it and slow down their speed. Finally the phototype of folding bicycle, 4 times scales smaller than the origin, and its process of manufacture including the wheel hub auto-lamp were discussed.
