Abstract

Abstract: There are scores of bicycles in the world including the mundane one which has to be paddled in order to move, motorized bicycle that utilizes fuel as its crude power and electric bicycle that can only be passable for an hour. Owing to certain discrepancies in the existing system, the motive of a solar bicycle sprung up. The idea is to make the cycle eternally efficient by recharging it whenever it is not in use, with the help of renewable solar energy. The notion of solar energy is that a high torque motor will be put on the bicycle as a result of solar energy. The solar energy will be consumed by the portable solar panel to generate power. The power that has been absorbed can be used directly by the motor if the power conforms to the power requirement. If not, the motor will wield the power from a battery. Whenever the bicycle remains unused during the day, the solar panel will charge its battery. The system would thus make the bicycle operate more efficiently. The controller in electric bicycle controls the flow of power from the battery to the electric motor. The E-bike rider can rely on the motor completely, pedal and use the motor concurrently or pedal only.
