Abstract: |
In Bangladesh with this immense problem of traffic the most compatible among all vehicles is bicycle. Though it is very user friendly, it requires massive amount of mechanical energy for pedaling for which the concept of incorporating electricity in bicycle came in mid-20th century. With the development of technology, the paper is focusing on developing an electric bike with recent technologies and to make it budget friendly for Bangladesh. For hardware implementation, PROTEUS simulator is used to design the BLDC controller by using Arduino IDE microcontroller. A Hub motor which is very sleek in design and very light in weigh, is considered for the electric bicycle. Lithium ion batteries was added for power backup because of its high energy density, low self-discharge rate and low maintenance. The mobility of the power supply was one of the main objectives so that it can be charged whenever it is needed. |
