Now the development oftechnology is increasingly sophisticated, new innovations
are increasingly emerging, including in the field of transportation equipment.
Environmentally friendly means oftransportation or electric vehicles have become
a trend in Indonesia today, both four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles, based on
hybrid or electric technology. This research was carried out by designing an
electric bicycle chassis frame design using SolidWorks software, which was then
simulated and analyzed for structural strength to obtain parameters of stress
distribution, displacement, and safety factor values using Ansys Workbench
software. The purpose of this study is to obtain simulation results about the
phenomena that occur in electric bicycle frames after being loaded based on
structural strength analysis calculations using the Ansys Workbench software. This
research method was carried out by simulating 2 static bicycle frame design
variations. Structural strength simulation was carried out using Ansys Workbench
2022 R2 Student Version software with static structural system analysis. The results
are visualized with different color gradations on each chassis frame design so that
the critical areas and deformations that occur are known. The results of the
simulation research carried out magnified the scale by 200 so that it is clear the
difference in deformation that occurs in the design variation of frame 1 with a
loading of 100 kg is 0.19101 mm while frame 2 is 0.19516 mm. The maximum stress
value with a maximum statistical loading of 100 kg in frame 1 design is smaller,
namely 24,942 compared to frame 2 design 30.622. The results of the research on
the electric bicycle chassis frame design I have better structural strength compared
to the electric bicycle chassis frame design 2 and for critical areas on the frame
that can cause the frame to crack or break, you can see the red chassis frame area
in the colored area red is labeled Max.
