A bike frame is also a non-standard structural component of a motorcycle linking various components of the vehicle systems and providing the vehicle rigidity and strength while running on various road conditions. This study is geared toward designing the frame of a two-wheeler, two-seater motorcycle for an electrical mobility purpose, while considering strength, safety and optimum performance of the vehicle. The said study has been allotted with a two-step approach. the first step includes modelling of the frame as per structural and ergonomic considerations, the design constraints governed by the front and rear suspension, steering and transmission systems and assemblies further because the determination of loads functioning on the frame. The second step is that the strain analysis using finite element analysis software and magnificence modifications for weight reduction without affecting structural strength. The main aim was to cut back the burden, centralize the load and lower the burden of the frame. Thus, the metal tubes were divided into primary, secondary and tertiary members supported the tube diameters and thicknesses so on reduce the final weight of the frame without affecting its strength. The centre of gravity of the frame is below the rider way thus ensuring an occasional and centralized frame weight. The trusses not only provide strength and rigidity but also safety of the actuation and essential vehicle components against impacts. The chassis is additionally a skeleton upon which parts like battery and motor are mounted. The two-wheeler chassis consists of a frame, suspension, wheels and brakes. The chassis is what truly sets the sort of the twowheeler. Commonly used material for two- wheeler chassis is steel which is heavy in weight or more accurately in density. There are various alternate materials like aluminium alloys, titanium, carbon fibre, magnesium, etc. which are lesser in weight and provide high strength and thus are often used for chassis.
