[1] Conceptual Design of Tubular Chassis of a Custom Electric All-Terrain Vehicle
The growing popularity of electric all-terrain vehicles (e-ATVs) necessitates lightweight chassis designs for enhanced efficiency and extended range. This study presents the development of a novel, optimized tubular chassis specifically designed for e-ATVs. The design iteratively optimizes tube diameters, wall thicknesses, and bracing strategies to achieve a superior strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the feasibility of integrating composite materials for specific, non-critical components is explored to further reduce weight without compromising structural integrity.
