This paper involves the simple design of a wheelchair attachment, an electric bike attached to a standard manual wheelchair that gives the normal wheelchair mobility without any external force to be applied from the disabled person. The electric bike consists of an electric D.C. Geared motor to power the mechanism, two rechargeable battery, a controller to control the whole electric mechanism, an electric throttle to give motion to the mechanism, and an electric brake to stop the motion and switches to give the system power when required. As this idea is to help the middle-class disabled people, we have thought of making some parts of the project, as the scrap fabrication is affordable for middle-class families. The electric bike is designed to be a safe, lightweight, easily attachable, and aesthetic look. This electric bike can be easily detachable from the wheelchair. To avoid such shoulder pain, this wheelchair has been designed for the disabled person to go to near places around the disabled person's home and other places; our wheelchair will ultimately reduce the effort of driving the wheelchair.
