ELECTRIC FOLDING
BICYCLE DESIGN

INTRODUCTION:-

As we know, bicycling is becoming an increasingly more popular

form as transportation. Besides that, the bicycle is used for
recreation, transportation and competition.
folding bicycle incorporates special design features enables the bike
to fold into a compact form. When folded, the bikes can be more
easily carried into buildings, into workplace or onto public
transportation.
1897 Hosea w.libbey of Boston invented an Electric Bicycle.
A vechile consists of two wheels held in frame one behind the others
propelled by paddle and steered with the handle bars attached to the front
wheel

Objective of Project Work

It can be easily taken into bus, train, car or similar.

Developing new clean an efficient ways of
transport
The main objective of a folding bicycle is that , to design a
small electric bicycle.
Developing lifestyles less dependent on cars.

Ensuring access for all the citizens.

How do electric bikes work?

Electric bicycles use batteries as a
source of power and a quiet DC motor
as a driving mechanism. On most ebikes the motor is built directly into the
wheel (known as a hub motor) and the
batteries are discreetly hidden in the
rear rack or frame. Electric bikes can be
operated just like normal bicycles, but
they can also be power-driven by a
throttle or pedaled with the help of
'pedal-assist' (or 'PAS').

Battery Selection
See the following equations to calculate
the range from amperage and voltage:
Ah (Amp hours) V (volts) = Wh (Watt
hour)
Select a 36-V, 10-AH battery with 360 Wh.
P (power) = Work / t (time)
P t = Work = Force distance
Force = mass acceleration
Distance = Wh / Force

designed to fold into a compact form,
facilitating transport and storage. When
folded, the bikes can be more easily
carried into buildings, on public
transportation , and more easily stored
in compact living quarters or aboard a
car, boat or plane.

Throttle control vs. pedal assist?

Most of our electric bikes and scooters are throttle controlled - meaning you
use a throttle to control power and speed. To get started, simply twist the
throttle to accelerate and hold it to maintain speed. Other e-bikes are
classified as 'pedal assist' and power is applied automatically. Once you start
pedaling, a torque sensor picks up your movement and power integrates
seamlessly while you ride. Just pedal and go. Once you use the brakes or quit
pedaling, the power is deactivated and you need to pedal again (lightly) to
re-activate pedal assistance.
For people who prefer full control, a throttle is a nice option since it operates
just like a motorcycle. But if you're looking for simplified operation, pedal
assist is great because it does all the work automatically. Keep in mind: you
have to pedal (lightly) for power to be applied with pedal assist. With a
throttle, no pedaling is required at all.

Application & Future Scope

*The

e-bike is a human electric hybrid vehicle.

Basically, these bikes are for people who want an
alternative to a car, get exercise, go fast without
increased effort, and get you where you want to be.
The focus of this study is to do a researching and
developing a foldable electric bicycle in order to
reduced storage space and being ease of
movement
