Design and Fabrication of E-Bike

Abstract

The project revolves around improving and harnessing different forms of energy. In today's world, vehicles on the road are increasing daily. With it, the demand for fuel is also on the rise—the hazardous effects of fuel on the environment cause severe problems for all life on Earth. Combustion vehicles constitute a significant source of air pollution, contributing to more than half of the carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and more than a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into the air. Efforts for a better future are being made with the introduction of environmentally friendly, electric vehicles on the road. Electric Bicycle is one of these products. It is not only an upgraded version of conventional cycles but can also replace petrol bikes that use combustion for their propulsion. Electric bikes can be an effective means of transportation in societies, universities, and plants and for local conveyance. Our Research focuses on the design and fabrication of the e-bike, which uses an electric motor to propel and will also have a pedal that would mechanically drive the cycle. The electric power generated can give better fuel economy than conventional vehicles, better performance, and will cause little or no environmental pollution. The E-bike would be able to switch between multiple modes easily depending on the rider's needs. The proposed E-bike has the potential to break the electric vehicle market and also has a better cost and working efficiency than the other.
