The KinectoBike Alexander Chen, Claudia Kok, Sarah Sotoudeh, Rayan Garg

Our Mission Statement

● Giving people in any developing countries chance to provide for themselves/their families ○ Access to electricity, efficient transportation,

time

Imagine…...

- 78% of Afghans in the world without running drinking water- Support family- Without education- Long walks for water→ takes time

away- 50% of the world→ limited/no

electricity

The Real-Life Problems

● Women and girls walk around 6 kilometers each day for water

■ Long journey for small amount of water■ Takes precious time away

● No access to electricity

Our Solution

○ Nonprofit Organization○ Bike conducts electricity every time wheel is

spun■ Attached water storage container has

cost-friendly-efficient water purifier■ Bike→ speeds up/eases the journey■ Attached wind-up flashlight generates

light as bike is used

Engineering Behind the KinectoBike

● Use a wind-up flashlight for MVP○ Flashlight attached to stable part of bike ○ Crank attached to elastic-like string○ String attached to outer-wheel spoke○ Wheel spins, tension increases, crank

rotates, electricity is generated● Simple Design=Simple Repair

Science Behind the KinectoBike

● Transfers kinetic energy into light electricity● Wheel spins→ rotates crank(flashlight)→

rotates gears inside flashlight→ rotates generator→ powers flashlight

Cost Structure- Bikes and parts-- When starting up the company

we will be relying on donated bikes that we customize

- Kinetic Generators- Water storage

Revenue Streams- Transaction revenue resulting from one time payments- For people in the third world countries, mainly towards Africa- Run on donated bikes until we can generate enough $ to build our own

Knowledge Gained through Interviews

Usually, people can generate 600-700 watts of energy per hour

- That this is a worthy cause- They are less likely to volunteer time than money, or bike parts- don’t want to buy this product if it becomes profitable- Would like the generator located on the handlebar- Want pictures of the people they helped and tax deduction

Where We are Now + Next Steps

We Did So Far

○ Interviewed 35 people○ Studied the science and engineering○ Started Tinkercad version○ Created a finalized materials list

Next Steps

○ Purchase our materials○ Finalize bike engineering○ Logo finalization

Model 2.0-- Our Vision for the Company

● Future model○ Water sanitation○ Personalized generator

■ Screen to notify power available

○ Fold-up bike
