Abstract- As everyone is aware, the cost of fuels like
gasoline is rising daily. In major cities and urban
regions, vehicular pollution is also steadily rising.
An attempt is made to identify future alternative
energy sources for cars in order to solve these
issues. The battery of the hybrid electric bicycle
may be charged using either a dynamo or a 220 V
AC wall charger. An electric motor that propels a
bicycle is charged using the energy from these two
sources. The hybrid bicycle's two modes of
operation—riding completely on the electric motor
or manually—allow the user to choose the one that
best suits their needs. The total cost per mile a
person travels on an electric bicycle is one of the
financial advantages. The electric bike's batteries
may be charged either by plugging them into a
power socket or by cycling in certain gears.
Keywords- Dynamo, External charger, Hybrid
vehicle.
I. INTRODUCTION
There are several ways to go about it in the modern
technological age, but they may be quite expensive
to buy because of the rising cost of fuels like
gasoline and diesel, and they are also very
polluting. We must thus discover innovative
approaches to mitigate these drawbacks and save
the environment.
Therefore, this initiative is highly beneficial for
both people's physical fitness and fuel
conservation. This may be used for a wide range of
purposes, including travel, physical activity,
transportation, etc.
It is a fuel-free procedure that is ecologically
favorable. Recharging takes place using a durable
rechargeable battery. The hybrid bicycle is an
initiative that can support reduced reliance on oil
and greener technologies. The battery may be
charged using either the 230 V AC wall supply or
the dynamo mounted to the bicycle wheel. It is
powered by clean electrical energy.
The primary concept is to power the bicycle with a
motor in order to propel it. a battery-operated
engine that can be activated in arduous terrain and
stopped and pedalled to replenish the battery in flat
terrain. We had this thought at several points in the
project planning process. The concept of the
bicycle as a system came to mind because we first
intended to construct a basic mobility system, and
in the second phase, we wanted to include a
necessary and beneficial component that may be
used in the future and by regular people. The
creation of such a system ran into several issues.
One of them was the motor's power, and because
no such systems existed at the time, we were
unable to determine which kind of motor to choose.
The second problem was the added weight of the
device, which might make it unpleasant for the
rider to cycle normally. The sort of battery to
utilise was the third point. We want to choose a
battery that has a longer lifespan, is financially
feasible, and requires less upkeep. The fourth issue
was that using a motor generator to self-charge a
battery was not practical, not even with a
straightforward cranking motion of the cycle.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
R.S. JADOUN & SUSHIL KUMAR, a. The
alternator, the batteries, and the associated tests
were described as being essential e-bike
components. Rectifiers are necessary to convert AC
to DC. The pole parts of the rotor are configured to
generate a waveform that resembles a square wave
rather than a sine wave by the authors in order to
produce DC with little ripple. Because the author's
electric bike can only work at low RPMs, they
altered the alternator windings and raised the drive
ratio. They then utilised the alternator from that
operates at a high RPM. Consequently, it can
function at low RPM.
ROSEMARY ABAGNALE In order to compare
the ecological effects of the two vehicles under
consideration, the authors focused their ecological
analysis on the e-bike and the thermal moped. This
study examined how an electrically powered bike
might perform in real-world driving situations
using simulated speed-time profiles. In order to
compile the pertinent emissive data under real
driving situations, trial results of roller test seat
calculations done on a warm moped were used.

GEOFERRYROSE, JENNIFER DILL According

to this research, electric bicycles are becoming
more prevalent in China but are still relatively rare
in the United States. The conversations revealed a
few potential demographic markets for e bicycles
that would increase the number of people who ride
bicycles, including women, older adults, and those
with physical limitations. Owners of electric
bicycles observed their ability to go across greater
distances .

2. BATTERY
Any electric bike's heart is its battery. Without the
battery's stored energy, the motor is worthless. It is
frequently the most expensive and difficult to
obtain component. The lead-acid battery is the
oldest and has the most drawbacks and fewest
positives of all the batteries.

VII. CONCLUSION [7] Veronique Lamy, “ELECTRIC BIKE

Even when they haven't flown well, some
successful mechanical gadgets function smoothly,
while others can only do so because their moving
components are precisely designed and fitted.
This project, which seems to be extremely
straightforward and quick to put together, was
really quite challenging to comprehend and picture
without having ever seen one in action. It is a
reality that the factors that drive active hobbyists'
goals are absent from the creative mental process.
It is necessary to first study the motions, which is
precisely what we have done. We have discovered
that while it is frequently fairly simple to produce
an acceptable analysis of an existing mechanism,
we are unable to produce an effective synthesis of a
new mechanism without insight and imagination.
For this reason, we are proud to present our project
design and development of a solar electric bicycle,
which we were able to make successful after much
effort was put into conceptualising its operating
principle.
