COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON EVOLUTION, PROGRESSION, DESIGN, AND EXPLORATION OF ELECTRIC BICYCLE

Abstract

Many countries are moving to electric vehicles for daily transportation due to the scarcity of fossil fuels and the pollution emissions from internal combustion engines. The most promising technique to manage environmental pollution and energy security is the employment of electric vehicles. The electric bicycle is gaining an abundance of attention due to the various advantages of electric vehicles. Recently, people started using electric bicycles on a regular basis, and it is a suitable option for shorter daily rides. The present study was conducted using the Scopus database, which included an analysis of all papers pertaining to the content of electric bicycles up until the year 2023. The literature review delves into the profound impact and numerous benefits of electric bicycles, highlighting their potential for revolutionizing transportation. This exploration is informed by advancements in design and construction, offering insights into optimal electric bicycle development. One promising avenue for sustainability involves integrating solar technology into these vehicles, reducing reliance on conventional energy sources, and addressing environmental concerns. Discussions encompassed diverse aspects, including operation principles, throttle variations, commutation systems, self-charging mechanisms, health advantages, and solar-powered electric bicycles. To address this, the goal is to create universally acceptable electric bicycles to broaden their appeal and dispel misconceptions. In order to provide scientists and researchers with beneficial information to further optimize electric bicycles, the research fields pertaining to electric bicycles are reviewed in accordance with previous studies.
