There are different control systems for a gear change control apparatus for an automobile and there are some controlling methods for that gear shifting mechanisms. The rotational output of the engine is transmitted to the drive wheels via clutch and gear box. When the gear is shifted up, the speed ratio will vary as well as the load capacity. The rotational output will increase as per the gear shifted. The rotational speed will decrease when the gear is shifted down. In this work, we have two electro magnets which are coupled to the ends of the gear rod. Also, this will be actuated by two buttons which will be placed near the left hand. The electric supply is given by the separate battery to the coils to actuate the electro-magnets. When the coils are energized, the magnetic field pulls down the coil to change the gear ratios as per the requirements. This avoids confusion to the rider and also gives comfortable ride while driving through hilly region. This mechanism also helps for the physically challenged persons, who have to shift the gear ratio by hands. These are also meant for the beginners and women who have fear of riding the bikes.
