What is the function of making this shape?

3D Design Volume Model

Hello;
I'm average on soliworks, and I tried to make this shape but without success, and I'm just asking you to help me with this part:
Just the circular shape that is like hollow inside, like a rounded sheet metal. I don't know what functions used to do it. 
Thank you in advance.

Hello, I think it should be done in surface. Tutorials can be found on YouTube.

Hello

For my part, I would do a part in full then a shell function (from the mudguard to the saddle) then another and another while merging the result each time until the final part is obtained.

Re
Thank you for answering so quickly, . PL I just saw the tutorials on the surfaces it seems to be the right approach to start the shape of the rear wheel. Then the triangle shape which is with the mistletoe I would do with the shell function  . I'll tell you if it works well.

Good evening

Well by following the tutorials I manage to do something  close to the image: 
Afterwards when I make the shape where there are the pedals it looks a bit weird because we have a surface with a boss.... What do you think?

Sounds good. Do you only have an image of the original?

unfortunately yes, I use this image (which I found on Google) just for the shape and design for one of my CAD projects. so the form where "Specialized" is written is also done with the surface function ?

Hello 

When you say that you use this image to make your surface part, did you do the surface with the image imported in a sketch or not?

Have a nice day

No, just by looking, but is it possible to take an image with you in a sketch?


Have a nice day.
Ps: I'll show the final result if I can do it.

Yes, when you're in sketch editing, you go to Tools, Sketch Tools, Sketch Image and you go to get your image file, you scale it, you position it and you apply it to sketches.

I don't know what image size you have, but I found one in 1000 x 700:

Hello
Thank you Mick.Cordero, I just learned something new.
Well, here is something that looks a little similar. This is just the design, I would add the handlebars, the sprockets, the belts...
Although I don't see how this bike works and what the area I highlighted is for.
I think there are no chains, no carding....
 
What did we think of you?

Have a nice day.

Hello

It is indeed the method of Mick.Cordero that I was talking about.
You did pretty well with your 3D.
Are you wondering about how the bike works, isn't there an electromagnetic system at the rear wheel? 

Have a nice day.

Hello;

I think too, but it's still unclear, in any case thank you very much for your quick and precise answers.




Have a nice day.
