An Improved & Efficient Electric Bicycle system with the Power of Realtime Information Sharing

Abstract

This paper presents the development of anassociate degree„Electric Bicycle System‟ with an innovative approach. The aim of this paper is to show that the normal bi-cycle can be upgraded to electric one by some means– that including the development of a regenerative braking system and innovative BLDC motor control – but also uses realtime sensing and the powers of crowd sourcing to improve the cycling experience; get more people riding bikes; and to aid in the design and development of cities. Electric bikes have simultaneously gained popularity in many regions of the world and some have suggested that it could provide an even higher level of service compared to existing systems. There are several challenges that are related electric bike design: electricassisted range, recharging protocol, and bike and battery checkout procedures. This paper outlines system requirements to successfully develop and deploy an electric bike, focusing on system architecture, operational concepts, and battery management. Although there is little empirical evidence, electric bike could be feasible, depending on demand and battery management, and can potentially improve the utility of existing bike systems.
