Creating a scooter for the handicapped comes with all sorts of difficulties starting from the
basic design itself. As an engineer identification and formulation of a solution was successfully
completed with the completion of the project. This project came up with the achieving of the
following program educational objectives (PEOs).

ENGINEERING MODELS
With this design the need for application of technical knowledge is evident. The project
HANDS- FREE SCOOTER did have applications of such a sort, like the incorporation of the basic
link mechanism is an engineering application of the basic 4-bar mechanism. The forces involved
in the link mechanism is so controlled and designed that it does not exceed the calculated limit.
Hence the project involves a proper application of mathematical and engineering knowledge.

This project being a scooter for the handicapped fulfills the demand for the mobility of the
handicapped, by legs alone. Hence this project is a simple panacea for these physically challenged
people. Being an engineer the project henceforth achieves our social responsibilities.

For the success of the project, each member of the team worked to complete their tasks
with indefatigable energy. Hence it came with a seamless success. Each member gave in their
valuable ideas to both in the design and fabrication sections.
