AB  - Tandem bikes have been produced, since, several years ago as the choosing of costumer besides
single/solo bikes alternatives. However, the numbers of their selling were not considerable contrast to that of
single bikes. One of the difficulties is their dimensions which are longer, especially when they are operated or
carried out. On the other hand, their existences are demanded adequate for the people who would like to ride
not alone other than in couple. Within the facility to reduce the dimension of tandem bike, therefore, it is
expected the innovation could respond the obstacle above. Currently, the technology development or
improvement of bicycle industry also has come near or parallel to the innovation. That is which is created the
folding bike, however, in the implementation of it is only featuring in the single bike rather than tandem bike.
Besides, the dimension reductions by means of sliding system also still carry out rarely. The improvement of
sliding tandem bike, especially, its main frame could increase the degree of comfort for the rider. Finite element
simulation will be applied to examine the performance of each alternative of main frame. Stress and deformation
analysis will be evaluated moreover the variation of frame material and wall thickness will be taken out for the
particular main frame alternatives. Main frame structure investigation could be obtained. The result of structure
analysis could be used to determine of main frame design for sliding tandem bike as the one of consideration.
