Abstract
The cost of fuel is getting increased day by day. Need of fuel also increasing day by day. Our project solar powered E- cycle that provides the alternative by harnessing solar energy to charge the battery and thus provide the required voltage to run the motor. The solar panels are mounted on the bicycle. The battery is coupled to a solar charge controller, which converts solar energy into electrical energy. The electrical power is stored in a battery, which is then supplied to a DC gear motor, which drives the motor. The bicycle has been changed from being an old-fashioned product to a less polluting means of transport and a compact mobility tool. In future, everyone will prefer electric vehicle than fuelled vehicles. Solar energy is one of the important sources of renewable energy which can be a best alternative to fossil fuels. However, most of the e-cycles are expensive. In this study, a cheaper solar e- cycle with more capability of utilizing the solar energy is designed.
