Comprehensive Analysis of Current Research Trends in Battery Technologies as Electricity Storage Devices for Electric Bikes: A Review

Abstract

Over the last few years, reducing reliance on fossil fuels has become a global issue. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, one of solutions in the transportation industry is to replace gasoline-powered vehicles with electric vehicles. Furthermore, in order for electric vehicles to be competitive, their comparatively high production costs must be reduced, and recharging durations must be improved to be comparable to those of gasoline-powered vehicles. Battery energy storage (BES) has now been widely applied for various purposes, one of which is for electric vehicles. This paper discusses a comprehensive analysis of battery energy storage technology regarding the storage method, operation, and cost of an electric bike (E-Bike). In addition, various E-Bike models with BES types that have been produced by various brands are presented. Therefore, later it can be taken into consideration for scientists in the use of BES on E-Bike.
