Abstract

In recent years, the awareness of environmental protection has risen, and modern people’s quality of life has improved. Bicycles are no longer just general transportation and carrying tools, but evolved into the need to emphasize comfortable riding, energy-saving and carbon reduction, and physical fitness. In this study, the different vehicle-to-weight ratio and road bumpiness before and after designing the bicycle frame’s damping and stiffness parameters were considered. The simulation results designate that the seat acceleration in both the y and z-axis is adequate constant, and the seat velocity gradually increases, whereas the vertical seat displacement of damped has significantly reduced compared with undamped.
