ABSTRACT
The technology has been changing day by day, every day new invention and new technology will arrive. Whenever a new
technology invented is to solve a past, existing problems. In this era the major problem is pollution and future problem is fossil
fuel scarcity. In order to solve these problems, much new technology has been invented. In this invention, one of the best
inventions is electric vehicles. These vehicles are free from pollution and also it will help to preserve some amount of fuel to
the future generation. The current rate of usage of fuels continuously for the next 5 decades there will be arising from fuel
drought.

Keywords— Bi-cycle , Motor (BLDC Motor with Hub), Battery, Dynamo, Throttle, LED Light
1. INTRODUCTION
In this generation bike or vehicle is very important in our fast life for travelling, and also it will help in economic growth but it has
drawbacks like pollution, fossil fuel shortage and global warming for this we need a new technology like eco-friendly vehicles for
travelling, is E-Bike (electrical bicycle). This E-Bike runs on electricity and this technology has some drawbacks like on full
charging of battery works on the period of time only, after that again we have to recharge it for this I introduced a new technology
which will generate electrical power with attaching some extra components, it helps to travel some more kilometres. It is basically
suitable for young people, the person who likes cycling as an exercise. These E-bikes are futures one of most demanding vehicles

3. CAMPUS MOBILITY FOR THE FUTURE: THE ELECTRIC BICYCLE

This paper presents the various outcomes and results of the study containing visions into the scheme. Electric bikes, of much sort,
have been surveyed by and by in a semi-open contract conspire on the Nanyang Technological University campus in Singapore.
According to this campus, it is a famous and helpful administration, with a few models of the electric bike being exceptionally
very much utilized. Riders contemplate the premiere of the electric bikes to be both agreeable and engaging while at the same time
utilizing it, and extremely suitable for campus travel. Understudies and general society alike view the plan unhesitatingly, and
creators have seen a lessening in the number of miles driven via auto inside the grounds for the dominant part of clients who are
additional drivers.

In this paper, authors have sensibly inspected the utilization of bikes on campus, displaying and investigating review results that
endeavour to clarify blocks to the bigger acknowledgement of the bike. Authors likewise bolster the general public by giving
arrangement that if this information is coordinated with a portion of the qualities of the campus encompassing, it is conceivable to
suggest specialized, arranging and reasonable arrangements that together should help the more prominent acknowledgement of
bike transport. This is the concentration of the rest of the paper.

the controller, the motor converts electrical energy to mechanical output it results in wheel rotate along with wheel flywheel rotate
which is connected to the rear axle. With the help of dynamo, we generate power as shown in fig.

4.1 Main Components

4.1.1 PMDC Motor

Fig. 1: PMDC Motor

The motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical output. In PMDC (Permanent Magnet Direct Current)
motor consists of permanent magnets in the stator, and winded coil is in the rotor. The commutator is connected to the T ends of
the winding coils in order to make slipping contact with the brushes. These Brushes are directly connected to DC power supply
across motor terminals. Change of direction of rotation can be achieved by reversal of voltage polarity. The when the current flow
passes through the coils that create magnetic poles in the rotor these poles interact with permanent magnet poles. In order to
maintain the torque generation in the same direction, then the current flow must be reversed when the stator south pole passes to
the rotor north pole. For this the slipping contacts are segmented. This segmented slip ring is called commutator.

Motor Specifications- Power: 350W; Voltage: 24V; Current: 19.2A; speed (after reduction):324 RPM;stall Torque:55 N.m;
Weight: 2.98Kg.

4.1.2 Battery

Fig. 2: Battery

Batteries are the devices which store energy . The batteries are stores energy in the form of chemical action and it delivers them in
form of electrical energy. These batteries are consists of two terminals are positive electrode and negative electrode in this battery
the positive electrode use as a lead oxide(pbo2) ,and the negative electrode is lead (Pb) here electrolyte is a sulfuric acid(H2SO4)
these batteries are invented 1859 by French scientist Gaston Planted and this is the first reachable batteries these batteries are low
cost and ability to supply a high voltage compared to other batteries, therefore, these batteries are commonly used for any vehicles
depends upon required capacity these batteries are can be recycled. In the US during the year of 2009 to 2013.gel designs are
sealed, do not require any watering or gas blow-off operations for this reason we can use these batteries with less maintenance.

Specifications- Lead acid battery: Rated voltage : 12V; Rated current: 18Ah; Number of batteries:2; Battery Rating = 12 V * 18
Ah = 216

4.1.3 Fly Wheel

In this project, a flywheel is a mechanical device specially designed to efficiently transfer rotational energy to the dynamo. In this
fly wheel the rotational speed depends upon its moment of inertia .in this process the fly wheel is directly attached to the rear axle
socket, and the wheel with a groove to avoid the belt tripping. When the rear axle rotates fly wheel also rotates. This fly wheel is
connected to the generator with the help of a belt (A51grade) drive mechanism.it results when the bicycle is moving then along
with back wheel socket fly wheel rotates and dynamo also rotates by connecting with fly wheel by the belt as shown in the figure.
This fly wheel is made up of iron.

Flywheel specification- Diameter: 14 cm, material : stainless steel

4.1.4 Dynamo

Fig. 4: Pedal power generator

The word dynamo is taken from Greek words it means force or power and it also called as electrical generator. The word
“dynamo” was coined by Michael Faraday who utilized for his inventions in electricity. Faraday discovers electrical induction and
magnetism. The original principal of dynamo was explained by Wehrner von Siemens he referred only on dc generators which use
exclusively self-introduction principal to generate a DC power. In the early years, dc generators which used permanent were not
considered “dynamo electric machines”. This invention helps in the total industrial scale converts to electrical power generation in
technically and also economically. After the invention of an alternator alternating current that can be used as power supply now a
days, the dynamo was directly commutated with the dc electrical generator.

In this project, the dynamo is used to charge the batteries during the running of the vehicle.

5. CONCLUSION
It is clearly seen that the electrical bicycle gives a clean and more economical solution to the energy crisis. People use bikes and
fuelled vehicles for even travelling short distances without making use of bicycles and other non – fuelled vehicles. Most numbers
of people have been think riding a cycle is equivalent to providing extra effort for cycling. In order to avoid this situation, electric
assistance has been provided to the cycle that will ease the user to ride the unit with the help of a motor. Even the hardship of
climbing slopes and riding on rough terrains has been reduced. All these aspects are available keeping in mind the factor of
pollution being affected at all. The factors that our prototype design of the bicycle provides to the raider are:
 Simplified riding with minimal effort on the flat as well as gradients.
 Easiness of riding on rough terrains.
