Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of electric vehicles; and more specifically, to a multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle with integrated storage solutions and enhanced safety features.
BACKGROUND
Nowadays, two-wheeled electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as environmentally friendly alternatives for urban transportation. Conventional two-wheeled electric vehicles typically comprise multiple separate components, including body panels, storage compartments, and protective structures, which are individually manufactured and assembled onto a frame structure. This multi-component approach results in increased overall vehicle weight due to the required mounting brackets, fasteners, and reinforcement structures. Additionally, the separate construction of storage compartments often leads to inefficient space utilization and limited storage capacity, which are critical factors for urban commuters who require adequate storage for their daily requirements. Moreover, traditional front storage compartments in two-wheeled vehicles typically open towards the rider, which can be ergonomically challenging and may compromise user convenience. Furthermore, existing charging solutions often position the charging interface in locations that may expose electrical connections to environmental factors or create safety hazards during charging operations. Furthermore, the safety features in conventional two-wheeled electric vehicles, such as crash protection elements, are commonly designed as add-on components. This approach may result in suboptimal impact force distribution and additional weight penalties. Moreover, traditional body panels frequently lack integrated utility features, such as bag hooks and side storage options, necessitating aftermarket additions that may compromise the vehicle's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The manufacturing process for conventional two-wheeled electric vehicles involves assembling multiple components, leading to increased production complexity, higher costs, and potential quality control issues at component interfaces. The multiple joints between separate components also create potential points of water ingress and structural weakness.
Currently, certain attempts have been made to address aforementioned challenges, such as adding bolt-on storage solutions, which increase weight and complexity, installing aftermarket crash protection devices that may not integrate optimally with the vehicle structure, incorporating separate charging interface modules that require additional weather protection, and the like. However, the proposed solutions have not adequately addressed the fundamental limitations of traditional multi-component construction approaches. Thus, there exists a technical problem of how to develop a unified structural architecture for a two-wheeled electric vehicle that eliminates the conventional multi-component assembly approach, where the challenge specifically involves integrating traditional multi-components into a singular structure while achieving, enhanced safety performance, and expanded utility functionality.
Therefore, in light of the foregoing discussion, there exists a need to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the conventional two-wheeled electric vehicles.

The term "collision" refers to an event where the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102 comes into contact with another object or vehicle, resulting in a sudden change in motion and potential damage. The integration of the crash protector 112 in the front section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102 is done to ensure the safety of the rider 130 in the event of the collision. By absorbing and distributing impact forces, the crash protector 112 minimizes the risk of injury and damage to the rider 130 and the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102. The integration of the crash protector 112, along with the single wall utility box (i.e., the storage compartment 106) cum body panel design and the front trunk 108 with the lid opening towards the front, has several technical effects. Firstly, such configuration provides enhanced safety for the rider 130 by effectively absorbing and distributing impact forces during the collision. Secondly, the single wall design of the storage compartment 106 and the body panel 104 allows for the larger utility volume while maintaining a lightweight structure, resulting in improved efficiency and manoeuvrability. The front trunk 108 with the lid opening towards the front offers increased utility space and convenience, making it easier to store and access items while using the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102.
In accordance with an embodiment, the crash protector 112 comprises the plurality of reinforcement ribs 128 integrated at a rear section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102 to distribute impact forces across the body panel 104.

Moreover, the removable rims 120 comprised by the wheel assembly 118 leads to a reduced maintenance cost in case of any damage to the wheel assembly 118.
Such design of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 103 appears to prioritize utility and functionality with multiple storage solutions and robust protective features like the crash protector 112. The monocoque construction suggests a unified body structure for strength and durability. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle 102 manifests multiple functionalities integrated into the unified structure with reduced overall weight, improved safety, and enhanced utility features.

, Claims:We Claim:
1. A multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102), comprising:
a body panel (104) integrated with a storage compartment (106) such that the body panel (104) and the storage compartment (106) together form a unitary structure;
a front trunk (108) integrally formed with the body panel (104) at a front section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102), wherein the front trunk (108) comprises a forward opening lid (122) configured to open in a forward direction away from a rider position to provide convenient access to storage space;
a charger mounting bracket (110) positioned at the front section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102), wherein the charger mounting bracket (110) is configured to securely hold a charging device during a charging operation; and
a crash protector (112) integrated at the front section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102), wherein the crash protector (112) is configured to protect a rider (130) by absorbing and distributing impact forces during a collision.

2. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body panel (104) and the storage compartment (106) are formed as a monocoque structure comprising a single continuous wall to maintain structural integrity of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102).

3. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front trunk (108) comprises a monocoque construction integrated with the body panel (104) to form a seamless structure.

4. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the charger mounting bracket (110) comprises:
a securing mechanism configured to lock the charging device in place; and
a weatherproof housing (126) configured to protect electrical connections during the charging operation.

5. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the crash protector (112) comprises a plurality of reinforcement ribs (128) integrated at a rear section of the multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) to distribute impact forces across the body panel (104).

6. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, comprises a bag hook (114) integrated into the body panel (104), wherein the bag hook (114) is positioned within reach of the rider (130) and designed to support a predetermined weight capacity.

7. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, comprises at least one side box holder integrated into the body panel (104), wherein the at least one side box holder is designed to support additional storage compartments.

8. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, comprises a wheel assembly (118) with removable rims (120), wherein the removable rims (120) are secured using a quick-release locking mechanism.

9. The multi-utility two-wheeled electric vehicle (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front trunk (108) comprises a weatherproof seal (124) around the perimeter of the forward opening lid (122).
