Though we are improving our living standards with technology, we are neither bothered about our fitness nor our environment. The article focuses on both, this research will not only help to keep an individual fit but also help in improving air pollution. In this article using the concept of seven concerns of the innovation process, a customized Bicycle frame (Photo Voltaic (PV) frame) is selected after overcoming the flaws in many designs and final conception is analyzed for maximum deformation at different loads. In this article, five concerns out of seven are considered to achieve the final design. Flexible Solar Cell (mentioned in a magazine created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Initiative) on the frame will help to charge the battery and that battery will operate other devices like Air Purifier, Mobile Charger, etc. that’s why this bicycle is called smart bicycle by the author. This article only focuses on innovative design analysis of customized solar frames but not the working of solar frames or air purifiers. This innovative design is going to change the concept of cycling in the future.
