Circular Economy: Electric Motorcycle Component Analysis Report

This research paper delves into the application of the circular economy within the electric motorcycle manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on components designed for individuals with disabilities. It begins with an executive summary and a detailed table of contents, followed by an introduction to the circular economy concept and its relevance to sustainable manufacturing. The paper then breaks down the electric motorcycle into structural, electrical, and miscellaneous components, analyzing their life cycle and suitability for reuse and recycling. The structural components discussed include chassis, wheels, suspension, and seat assemblies, while electrical components encompass motors, switches, wires, circuit boards, and batteries. Miscellaneous components include tires, transmission, bodywork, and upholstery. The study outlines the short-term and long-term steps that an electric motorcycle manufacturing company should undertake to achieve a sustainable system. The paper concludes with a summary of the key findings and a bibliography of cited sources.
