Abstract: The present disclosure provides an integrated dual mechanism system (100) for a two-wheeler vehicle. The system (100) includes a mechanical footrest deployment mechanism (102) having a flat rack (104) with angled teeth disposed below a rear seat portion and a circular gear (106) mounted on a horizontal shaft engaged with the flat rack (104), the flat rack (104) being coupled to the rear seat portion through a linkage mechanism. A footrest (108) coupled to the circular gear (106) moves between closed and open positions based on gear rotation. The system (100) includes a sensor-based seat control mechanism (110) having an infrared sensor (112), a microcontroller (114), a motor driver (116), a worm gear motor (118), and an optical encoder (120). A power supply (122) is connected to the motor driver (116). The sensor-based seat control mechanism (110) rotates the seat to predefined angular positions in response to sequential infrared sensor detections. (Figure 1)
