Adjustable Turning Radius Steering Mechanism

(Chandok's  Raft  steering  system)

Abstract::

This paper relates to the steering mechanism which is operated by either driver right side or left side driver in e-rickshaw which has tadpole configuration(two wheels in front and one wheel at rear. More particularly, this mechanism has rear steering system . The mechanism mainly consists of a lever, a handle, turning radius adjuster , cycle fork , pivot flanges for comfort drive. It has adjustable turning radius ,in other words, one can easily change the turning radius according to the required conditions by simply just shifting & fix the steering lever to respective holes. It is possible to have zero turning radius by adjusting the lever . It has minimum turning effort as compare to Ackerman or anti Ackerman steering system Also, it is very light in weight as compare to other steering system.
