Popis: As fuel cost increases, majority of road users in Malaysia turns to motorcycle as an economical method of transportation. Unfortunately, the weather condition in this country is unpredictable especially with sudden rainy season. Due to this reason, the idea of a portable motorcycle cover has been developed. The objective of this project is to design a motorcycle cover, which can protect the user from rain and other weather condition. Currently, we are focusing the usage in a non-mobile (static) mode. The design shall focus on workability and ease of installation, followed by the affordability factor. This design was generated with the aid of CATIA software as the design tools. FEA simulation was performed in order to validate the performance. Result shows that the safety factor of the most critical section (rear compartment) is around 7.15, which is within safety range. Performance check on the prototype shows reliable result. In near future, more improvement shall be made towards the design to enhance the function and performance factor.
