Abstract

Abstract- Motorcycles are one of the most popular types of automobiles worldwide. If our nation alone is taken into account, approximately 37 million two-wheelers are sold each year, and the number is growing day by the day. Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters (geared and non-geared), and other vehicles fall under this category. These cars are driven by people ranging in age from 18 to over 60. When travelling in such vehicles, a person must maintain a fixed posture for an extended period of time with little room for adjustment. Due to design and budgetary restrictions, only minor alterations may be made to meet the customer's needs. Motorbikes are prone to higher vibrations than four-wheelers due to uneven road conditions, vibrations caused by the vehicle itself, and less vibration dampening than four-wheelers. In addition to bad or unpleasant riding posture, vibration can cause discomfort, tension, and eventually pain in a specific muscle group or joint. This pain can be greatly reduced by using an ergonomically suited bike position.

Keywords- Anthropometry, Motorbike, Riding Posture, Discomfort
