“…In addition, usage of anemometers and power tap hub was also observed. In 2011, McLoughlin [2] facilitated easy campus mobility through developing an electric bicycle. The author had experimented with various methods applicable to convert a bi-cycle to become an electric bicycle such as hub mounted motors may be placed on either front wheel or rear wheel hub and similar thoughts for placement of batteries.…”

Nowadays a greater number of people use cars or other automobiles as a means of transportation between places and the number of such vehicles is increasing day by day on the roads. Moreover, people are driving their cars for every need even if the location he/she is heading to is really near and can be taken by a walk. On the other hand, with respect to different researches that driving cars is having an impact on the environment and it is affecting the ozone layer due to the emission of greenhouse gases from the vehicles so providing a transport that supports the environment such as solar-powered e-bike is an affordable solution for our society particularly for the near distances. This paper presents the design and development aspects of solar powered bi-cycle. The key phases of this work include designing a solar energy cell converting solar energy into useable electric energy and designing a power transmission system suitable for driving a conventional bi-cycle. These phases involve calculation of power requirements to drive the bi-cycle and redesign of transmission elements of bi-cycles suitable to the solar energy power source and suitably select PV cell components to meet these requirements. The electrical motor type and capacity are decided on the basis of the above calculations and the motor is connected to the bi-cycle through suitable chain drive system. Solar PV cell capacity of 40 W with area dimensions of 54 x 51 cm is used to generate electrical energy and the same is used to charge the batteries as well. The maximum voltage recorded is 24 volts and the maximum current generated is 12 Amperes. Various parts of the assembly are integrated into the bi-cycle and the working model was completed. Finally, the testing of the bi-cycle was performed to obtain the results based on which an engineering analysis and cost details were carried out. The fabricated model and the results obtained thus prove that there is a potential scope to introduce the solar-integrated electric bikes into the market for domestic use.

“…As shown in Figure 1, referring to the sale of about 30 million units from 2016 to 2025, China is the highest compare to the other country in the world. Nevertheless, Electric bikes are exposed to the country's guidelines and regulations [38]. The design of an electric bike for a bike-sharing system involves the consideration of two key points of concern.…”

Over the past decades, For various applications, permanent magnet flux switching machines (PMFSM) have attracted revived research interests. The machines not only obtain most merits from the conventional permanent magnet synchronous machines but also have a simple passive and hence robust rotor. The research paper presents a single-phase PMFSM analysis of initial and optimize design for electric bike applications. The 2D-FEA analysis was used to certify the result analysis of these motors. As a result, the design of optimized is significantly lesser magnet volume and high torque compare to the initial motor PMFSM design by using the "deterministic optimization method" (DOM). The optimized motor design has greater average torque performance analysis up to 16% whereas the permanent magnet weight decreased by 28%. As a result, the machine becomes an efficient lightweight motor for electric vehicles and low cost because of a reduction in PM weight.

“…Further by using dynamo batteries can be charged by using dynamo when rear wheel starts rotating. [2] By using electric bicycle where it is possible will reduce burden on the motorcycles, will reduce the carbon emission and improve quality of air. For electric bicycle there is no need to purchase whole bicycle, if person is having conventional bicycle, he can attach the components to bicycle can convert it into electric bicycle.…”

In present scenario petrol and other non-renewable sources are depleting day by day because of increase in usage these sources. This will cause increase of fuel price and causes carbon emission and degrades environment. Mostly these sources are petrol and diesel which is used by vehicles. For travelling longer distance there is no other alternative. But for shorter distance conventional bicycle can be use. These conventional bicycles can be modified with the help of motor and battery which can used for longer distance and these bicycles are called as electric bicycle. Further with the help of dynamo, battery can be charge with the rotation of wheel. This type of electric bicycle can be helpful in rural areas for farmers and students for travelling to their schools.
