Design and Modelling of Multi-Source Self-Charging Electric Bike

Abstract

The concept of electric vehicles is not new to us, the 1st documented electric vehicle was in the late 1890s, electric vehicles were far forgotten and suppressed for so long because of the domination of conventional vehicles in the commercial market. Conventional vehicles are fuelled by petroleum products which are non-renewable and not much environment friendly. We have reached a situation where we cannot depend on these fast depleting non-renewable sources of energy for better future. Hence, we are in need to develop and utilize the renewable sources of energy that are less/non-polluting and does not get depleted. Only by the late 1960s, people started to realize the need for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are a better replacement or the conventional vehicles and are more efficient and Eco-friendlier.
