Fuels such as petrol and diesel are limited and are coming out day after day. So now the world is turning to renewable energy for the future. Fuels such as gasoline and diesel are limited and are on the verge of extinction by the day. The main objectives of this work is to model the motorcycle chassis by considering static loading conditions to check the strength of the chassis frame. In the present work for analysis of central structure of an electric motorcycle considered called as chassis, as it carries the maximum load in the vehicle. The modelling of chassis is done by using Catia V5 software. Analysis is carried by Hyper mesh-Optistruct. Modal analysis is carried to know the frequency of the material, so that the best material for chassis is selected. Analysis is carried out to know the deformation and stress developed in the chassis for the two different materials AISI 4130 and Al7075. Then the design optimization is done for the better material to select. In this work the analysis results are compared with the analytical results.
