Design and Assemble a Kids Bicycle Using SolidWorks

By the end of this course, learners will be able to model, assemble, and simulate a complete kids bicycle using SolidWorks while applying professional CAD workflows and design best practices. Learners will develop the ability to create parametric parts, manage complex assemblies, and visualize mechanical motion in a structured, real-world case study. This course guides learners step by step through the design of all major bicycle components, including the frame, front fork, handlebar, wheels, drivetrain, seat, and pedals. Learners will benefit from hands-on exposure to 3D sketching, sweeps, lofts, surface modeling, patterning, in-context assembly editing, and motion studies. Emphasis is placed on symmetry, manufacturability, and design intent rather than isolated tools. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, industry-style workflow that mirrors how real mechanical products are developed in professional environments. This course is ideal for intermediate SolidWorks users seeking to strengthen their practical design, assembly, and simulation skills through a complete mechanical case study
