Experimental Study of Pedelec E-Bike Using Modified Mid Drive Motor

Abstract

In small island areas, people still use fossil fuel vehicles as their mode of transportation. This will cause environmental damage. One solution to this problem is developing the electric bike. This study uses a power-assisted bicycle type electric bicycle, consisting of a battery, a dc motor, a motor controller, and a throttle motor. From the test results, the motor can be used to support the rider. The problem is that the rated power is still more oversized than the engine can receive, where the temperature rises sharply from 30. 6 ° to 56.8°C in 21 minutes. The consequence was motor burnout because the motor forced to turn the front wheel over time. For right now, this e-bike suitable tourism bike in a short area so we can make sure the motor temperature did not exceed 50°C.

From Frustration to Innovation: Exploring the Lived Experiences of E-Bike Users on Limited Charging Infrastructure

“…The findings of research by Kusuma et al (2021) [25] shows that an electric bike with a battery indicator provides riders real-time information on how much battery capacity is left, guiding them on how far they can travel before needing to recharge its battery. Frustrations related to batteries are common among electric bike users (Behrendt et al, 2021) [5] .…”
