DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ELECTRIC CYCLE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

As the worldwide population is growing day by day and there is an increasing demand for the product from the manufacturing industry a simple, reliable, eco-friendly, safety, and less costly product. One of them is electric vehicles. One type of such an electric vehicle is the electric cycle (e-cycle). E-cycle typically incorporates a battery, which can be charged at an ordinary domestic power socket, linked to an electric motor in the bicycle transmission system. Increase in fuel price of Petrol bike along with the consideration of the environmental factors uses a bicycle over a motor vehicle for short distance traveling. The rider has the power to controls the output power from motor i.e. speed using a handlebar mounted throttle and controller. The term ‘e-bike’ is generic and includes a combination of different electrically powered two-wheelers some of which function by simply turning a throttle. In this paper, a comparative and in depth study of supporting component of the electric cycle is carried out. This project is based on a combination of the standard geared bicycle with an electric power motor . The system is modified in such a way that the rider can make choice of which mode he prefers i.e. he can either choose the bicycle to be driven completely with the electric motor or he can choose it to be driven manually by himself.
