About<br />
The EFFI‐CYCLE® is an event for the undergraduate engineering students, organized by the Society of<br />
Automotive Engineers India, Northern Section. The event originated in the in the year 2010 at<br />
University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Chandigarh; under the patronage of Sh. I.V Rao,<br />
Chairman, SAE NIS and convenership of Ms Pamela Tikku. The EFFI‐CYCLE tasks the students to<br />
design, fabricate and validate a two seater three – wheeled vehicle po<strong>we</strong>red by human – electric<br />
hybrid po<strong>we</strong>r, to take part in a series of events spread over a c<strong>our</strong>se of 3 days that test the vehicle<br />
for the sound engineering practices that have <strong>go</strong>ne into it, the agility of the vehicle in terms of<br />
gradability, speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability characteristics and finally its ability to endure<br />
that treacherous durability test.<br />
Society of Automotive Engineers<br />

EFFI-CYCLE: A Brief History<br />
The EFFI‐CYCLE stands for “EFFICIENT CYCLE”. The concept originated in the year 2009 at the Netaji<br />
Subhas Institute of Technology, where it was taken up as a Bachelor’s of Engineering Degree Project<br />
by three highly active student members of SAEINDIA, namely – Ankur Anand, Ravi Goel and<br />
Siddharth Varshney. The concept received laurels as it was awarded as the Best Degree Project for<br />
the year 2009. The idea was further investigated and developed as the EFFI‐CYCLE in collaboration<br />
with representatives from University Institute of Engineering & Technology.<br />
A detailed project and guidelines <strong>we</strong>re established and presented to the working committee of<br />
SAEINDIA Northern Section. The idea was heartedly <strong>accept</strong>ed and Ms Pamela Tikku, a member of the<br />
working committee of SAE NIS and actively involved in the coveted BAJA SAEINDIA, agreed to lead<br />
the event as the Convener and the maiden EFFI‐CYCLE was launched in the year 2010.<br />

Suzuki, Minda (Ashok Minda Group), Motherson Sumi Systems Ltd, Nippon Audio and ICAT, offering<br />
awards up to 2.5 Lakhs INR. The event, an imminent hit with the student community received<br />
participation requests from nearly 90 engineering institutes across the country, for its 2 nd edition<br />
scheduled for October 2011.<br />
The 2 nd edition of EFFI‐CYCLE was announced during April 2011, for 14 – 16 th October 2011 at U.I.E.T,<br />
