The Noe-Mobile

Noe is a rescue dog, and she has hip dysplasia. After a bad fall, she now lives with very limited mobility. Noe's mom had trouble taking Noe for walks--especially thorugh San Francisco's steep streets.

So I made them an electric wagon.

Now Noe can go out and sniff around, and I can start upgrading features.

Positionally critical parts modeled in Solidworks. Other parts are machined to be adjustable.

Hubs are machined from a cast aluminum part.

Custom Hub

Rev 0 was a bust since the gear ratio was insufficient, and the low quality controller could not handle the current. Low budget was a no-go.

Original design

Rev 1 incorporates a chain drive gearbox, and better quality controller.
