Urban life suffers from traffic congestion especially during the peak hours. Getting from one place to the other becomes a troublesome task especially if you face roadblocks on your way. Due to increased shifting demand over practices that conserve the environment, an electric bike, also known as the e-bike provides a one stop solution to such individuals. This project aims to make lives of the people easier by providing them with a durable model of autonomous electric bicycle. This bicycle will make reaching destination by effortlessly maneuvering between the crowded spaces all the while providing speed. It was made feasible due to the application of certain sub-systems such as those of mechanical, power and control. It takes care of the problem presented by batteries used in previous models. These batteries emit excessive amount of energy which comes in the form of heat. It was catered to by supporting these batteries with super capacitors which resulted in the significant reduction of heat emission. Due to the usage of the lead acid battery 12 V, substantial increase in battery life was monitored. This increase was made possible due to the usage of supercapacitors. It will enable the cyclist to cover 10 km if he maintains a speed of 20 km/h. The required rpm for this project is around 213. This was kept under-control by using a gearbox that turned down the rpms of DC brushless motor to our requirements. Ultra-capacitors used have a greater life span than the batteries and are much safer and less toxic. This project seeks to test the benefits of super capacitors in an electric bicycle unit in order to gain higher regenerative energy.
