Review Paper on Solar Powered E-Bike

As we all know the fuel prices especially the petrol is rising steadily day by day. Again the pollution due to vehicles in metro cities & urban areas is increasing continuously. To overcome these problems, an effort is being made to search some other alternative sources of energy for the vehicles. The solar assisted bicycle made is driven by DC motor fitted in front or rear axle housing & operated by solar energy. The solar panels mounted on the fairing will charge the battery & which in turn drive the hub motor/centre mounted motor. When the bicycle is idle, the solar panel will charge the battery. If low amount of sunrays are available then the E-bike can-be charged with an AC wall outlet supply. This project will result in low dependency on fossil fuel. It will also utilize the vast amount of solar energy that is available on earth surface.
