Abstract- As the worldwide population is growing day by day and there is increasing demand for the
product from the manufacturing industry a simple, reliable, eco-friendly, safety, and less costly product.
One of them is electric vehicles. One type of such an electric vehicle is the electric e-Bicycle (e-cycle). E-
cycle typically incorporates a battery, which can be charged at an ordinary domestic power socket, linked
to an electric motor in the bicycle transmission system. Increase in fuel price of Petrol bike along with the
consideration of the environmental factors uses a bicycle over a motor vehicle for short distance traveling.
The rider has the power to controls the output power from motor i.e. speed using a handlebar mounted
throttle and controller. . The main aim of this paper is to present the idea of harnessing the various energy
and use it in today’s existence of human life .Now-a-days there are so many vehicles on road, which
consumes more fuel and also hazards our environment. It is our responsibility to reduce the consumption
of fuel and its hazardous emission products. Taking this into consideration it is our small step towards
reducing the use of more fuel consuming vehicles and attract the eye of people towards its alternatives i.e.
Electric bicycle. So we intend to design a cycle which would run on an alternative source and also reducing
human efforts called as Battery Operated Cycle. In this paper we design an alternative mode of transport
for betterment of social and environment.

1. INTRODUCTION
As worldwide population is growing day by day and there is increase in manufacturing and using of fuel
powered. This vehicle require fossil fuel to run and it a limited source of energy which will be over after
some period and to cop up with this need, the revolution for the eco-friendly cycles were the most depended
modes of transportation, along with this the consideration of the increase in fuel price and the environmental
factors we must admit that it is far more better to use a cycle over a motor vehicle for short distance
travelling. Imagine how useful would the cycle be if even the small effort applied by man for riding on
rough terrain. This project is based on combination of the standard geared cycle with an electric power
motor. The system is modified in such a way that the rider can make choice of which mode he prefers i.e.
he can either choose the cycle to be driven completely with the electric motor or he can choose it to be
driven manually by himself. The idea of mounting the motor and its support assembly onto a geared cycle
was to reduce the effort to-be applied for extra little weight that the rider will have to take along with the
cycle. The unit has been designed in such a way that people of any age group can depend on it. Our idea of
Implementation of the project was mainly biased towards providing inter college transportation. E-Bicycle
Typically incorporates a battery, which can be charged at an ordinary domestic power socket, linked to an
electric motor in the Bicycle transmission system. The rider have the power to controls the output power
from motor i.e. speed using a handlebar mounted throttle and controller. The term ‘e-bike’ is generic and
includes a combination of different electrically powered two-wheelers some of which function by simply
turning a throttle. This Bicycle is designed and made in very less cost as compared to original cost, so any
