3.  Electro-bike will be one of
the right alternatives for
the pollution and fuel
scarcity prevailing at
present.

4.  Electro-bike is used to reduce
fuel consumption
 It is a type of motorcycle using
batteries and motors instead of
using fuel

5. Motor
Battery
Solenoid switch
Drives

6.  It One Of The Higher Efficiency Devices Available With A
Running Efficiency Of 90%
 In This Project We Made Use Of Dc Series Motor With A High
Starting Torque
 The Working Voltage Is 6v To A Maximum 18v
 The Bike Speed Can Be Controlled By Varying The Armature
Voltage

7.  Power : 2 HP
 Rotor speed : 3300
rev/min
 Voltage rating : 6 V – 18 V
 No load amps : 20 A
 Max amps : 120 A
 Motor weight : 4.5 kg
 Efficiency : 90 %

8.  The battery acts as the fuel source for the bike.
here we use TUBULAR or DEEPCYCLE
battery.
 It has a high discharge capacity of about 85-
90% as compared to other ordinary battery.
 The life of the battery is higher when compared
to other battery.
 The tabular battery can be recharged quickly

9.  Battery : 12 V
 Number of batteries : 2
 Power : 45 A each
(total 90 A )
 Battery life : charged 300
times or 20000 km
 Battery charger : 12 V, 7 A
 Weight of battery : 13 kg each
 Efficiency : 80 %

10.  It is one of the switching device for
high current passage normally
absorb current of 100A.
 It works under the principle of
electro-magnetic induction.

11.  Working voltage : 15 V
 Max amps : 200 A
 Efficiency : 98 %

12.  It is mainly used for power transmission.
 Here belt and chain are used in this drive.
 Both these drives have a maximum power
transmission capacity of 95%.

13.  Once the key is turned ON the charge
from the battery flows through the
Solenoid switch to the Voltage Controller.
 Then the voltage controller it flows to the
motor
 The power from the motor is transmitted
to the rear wheel through the drives
 The Drive used here has the maximum
transmittance of 95%

16.  No sound, no air pollution and no fuel as there
is no engine.
 Maintenance is less and no lubrication is
needed.
 Bike weight is also less compared to ordinary
engine bikes.
 The charging of batteries also cost less
 It does not cost any vibrations.

17.  Since Motor is used the mileage may depend
upon the load acting.
 The battery has to be charged every 50 km
hence it will consume some time.
 The battery’s life is only for 20000 km and then
it should be changed.

18.  Extra battery for more mileage.
 Charging the battery using the back emf from the
motor.
 Charging of battery using solar power.
 Increasing output power for small size motor.
 Reducing vehicle weight by reducing battery weight
as low as possible.
 Introducing fuel cell for power generation

19.  By using electro bike, the usage of crude oil
from petroleum can be reduced.
 It is one of the right alternatives for the
growing demand of fuels.
 Due to high efficiency it can be more efficiently
utilized for growing scarcity in fuel.
 Its efficiency can still increased by considering
the future works.
