DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ELECTRIC

SKATING CYCLE
Abstract:
Environmental protection and energy conservations are the main concern of
21st century which has now accelerated the pace to plan and develop electric
vehicle technology. The electric vehicles (EVs) offer a zero emission, new
automobile industry establishment, and economic development, efficient and
smart transportation system. This project having a foot controlled steering
system to control the vehicle easily. It designed to suitable for any road
conditions and to reduce the effort of a rider to drive skateboard easily.
Currently the permanent magnet brushless direct current motors are the present
choice of automobile industries and researchers because of its high power
density, compact size, reliability, and noise free and minimum maintenance
requirements. Initially thus the designing of the vehicle in CAD and CRE-O,
and simulations models are done. Equipment and cost analysis are done. It deals
with the fabrication of vehicle.
Introduction:
Electric powered vehicles are becoming an increasingly popular and highly
viable form of transport, particularly for short distances such as daily commutes
to work or school. There are a number of factors driving this expansion;
primarily the development of technology used in electric vehicles, making them
an attractive option in many cases. Development of battery technologies,
specifically Lithium chemistry batteries, has resulted in batteries being
produced that have much higher energy density than previously. The discharge
and recharge rates of Lithium chemistry batteries is far superior to other battery
chemistries. Power electronics are becoming more efficient, powerful, and in
smaller packages allowing for greater power density in motor controllers with
less power loss through the inverter. Microprocessors with greater processing
capacity allow for more efficient motor control algorithms and the use of AC
motors instead of DC motors.
Component used:
 Skating cycle
 Battery
 Controller
  Speed accelerator
 Circuit breaker
Working priniciple:
An electric skateboard is typically a modified skateboard propelled by an
electric motor, the power of which is usually controlled with an RF remote. As
with a regular skateboard, it is steered by the rider shifting his or her weight. It
was originally designed for local transport, but now offer a more serious "Off
Road" model as a new thrill sport. The Off Road style boards are able to
traverse grass, gravel, dirt and hard sand with ease and are often seen at low tide
on the beach. Power scooter works on the concept of electrical DC motor
running on the power of 12v battery. In this power scooter initially the person
will start the scooter with the slight push and a switch in pressed positioned on
the handle and the motor will start by closing the electric circuit with the help of
a switch. Once power is developed the pulley start rotating by using v-belt drive
which transmit power from pulley to rear axle. Axle rotates the rear wheel and
scooter start running. By using accelerator we increase or decrease the speed of
power scooter. And to stop the scooter we have provided the band brake on the
rear axle. To start the motor battery connect electrical circuit is installed through
the handle.

Advantages:
• Easy to commute with low fatigue.
• Less maintenance cost.
• Normal Drag/Pedal is possible when power is not in use.
• Deployable batteries – can be taken inside house.
• Cost of the unit is very low.
• Easy to carry since it is portable.
• Less energy consumed.
• High efficiency can be obtained if inverter is used.
• If using solar panel, free utilization of energy can be done.
