<br/><br/> This study presents the development of an automatic motorcycle engine start-stop device<br/>for a motorcycle engine. The pandemic year, 2020, caused a lot of vehicles to be<br/>underutilized due to the implemented quarantine to combat the spread of the virus. This<br/>resulted to motorcycles being prone to damages that are caused by long time of no usage<br/>that can result to battery deterioration, engine failures, and hard start. The proposed device<br/>aims to start the engine for 10 minutes when its program detected that the engine did not<br/>start for 3 days. The features of the device are that it works automatically with less<br/>requirements of the user’s inputs and it is independently powered by its own battery. The<br/>device is tested for how long the motorcycle can be idled and still be started by the device.<br/>It is tested for 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days of no engine ignition. Test results showed<br/>that with a motorcycle left idle for three days, the device was able to activate an engine<br/>ignition and engine shut down. The device was evaluated by 25 evaluators composed of<br/>Automotive Engineering Technology professor and students under the College of<br/>Industrial Technology of the Technological University of the Philippines and motorcycle<br/>drivers. It was rated with an overall mean of 4.56 with a descriptive rating of “Excellent”.<br/>This signifies that the device is useful for the motorists in terms of the Functionality,<br/>Effectivity, Workability, Durability, Economy, and Safety.
