Energy Efficient Li-Ion Battery Based Electric Bicycle

Abstract

This paper presents the energy efficient electric bicycle based on Li-ion dry type battery. Since last 50 years the fossil fuels reserves are continuously decreasing. So, it becomes very necessary to find out the solution to use alternate energy resources in reliable and efficient way. The increase demand for IC engine-based vehicles creates the pollution problems in many cities of India as well as in world. Hybrid electric vehicle is a best alternative to overcome the problem of air pollution and noise pollution. The PMDC Motor is used to drive the electric bicycle. The PMDC Motor eliminates the extra converter required if the motor used is of DC type. LI-ion battery is used for delivering high power storage capacity. A 24V controller is used for controlling inputs and outputs. It consists of one switch which on/off all system over battery. It is hybrid type bicycle which can operate on battery and pedalling. The hybrid nature of the bicycle makes it more energy efficient and eco-friendly.
