Abstract - India is the second largest producer and
manufacturer of two-wheelers within the world. It stands next
to China and Japan in terms of the number of two-wheeler
vehicles produced and domestic sales. In this paper, the
following work is carried out with respect to the fabrication of
an electric two-wheeler. The chassis of an existing two-wheeler
is selected (110cc bike). The engine is replaced by a battery-
motor system. The various calculations like power, torque,
specifications of battery and motor and range calculation are
carried out. The wiring harness is prepared for the electric
two-wheeler. The components like the electric motor having
60V are selected and the respective battery with the battery
management system for the motor is conjoined. The motor
controller, digital display, electric throttle, etc. are assembled
to the motor system. The fabrication of the electric 2-wheeler
is carried out by using the procured components and with the
help of the calculations, the output of the vehicle is calculated.
The testing of the vehicle is performed and compared with the
internal combustion engine.
Key Words: Electric vehicles, Battery, Chassis, IC Engine,
Fabrication, Testing, Motor, Controller.
1. INTRODUCTION
India is one among the highest automotive markets within
the world these days and having extremely increasing class
population with shopping for potential and therefore the
steady economic process. However, gasoline value has
multiplied over 50% in thirteen completely different steps in
last 2 years. Here comes the potential need for various
technologies in vehicles like electrical vehicles (EV) in India.
though the initial investment is around 1.5 times than
standard IC engine, however time has come back once price
of setting is currently additional concern than the price of
car the aim of this report is to explain the technology
accustomed manufacture an electrical vehicle and explain
why the electrical engine is best than the interior
combustion engine. It includes reasons why the electrical
vehicle grew apace and therefore the reason it's a necessity
to raise the planet these days. The report describes the
foremost necessary components in an electrical vehicle and
hybrid vehicle. It compares the electrical to the hybrid and
burning engine vehicle. It conjointly includes the long run of
the electrical vehicle. The general impact of the electrical
vehicle ultimately advantages the individuals. Compared to
gasoline steam-powered vehicles, electrical vehicles square
measure thought of to be cardinal cleaner, manufacturing no
piping emissions that may place stuff into the air.
Environmental problems caused by fossil fuel run vehicles
and fuel economy have become a very serious issue in the
recent years which has led to the earth's temperature to
increase and also causing various global warming effects. It
is a necessity to find an alternate to these fossil fuel run
vehicles which have a significant role in being green,
environmentally friendly and economical and most
importantly leaves no carbon footprint behind. Electricity
powered vehicles, meet these conditions and because of this,
it has become the important goal for all vehicle
manufacturing companies to manufacture vehicles with new
energy which is green, environmentally friendly and
economical. Being an e-scooter, the electrical system plays a
promising role in its designing and creation. The electric
system consists of battery, motor, motor controller and other
equipment. The most important thing that electric system
does is that it gives power to the motor which helps within
the running of the scooter. E-vehicles now include cars,
transit buses, trucks, and even big-rig tractor trailers that are
a minimum of partially powered by electricity. Electric
vehicles have a very negligible amount of carbon footprint
than gasoline-powered cars, no matter where your
electricity comes from. It can easily be said that EV is better
to the environment taking into considerations the
advantages it poses over internal combustion engines. Since
it run on batteries, it needs to be charged if exhausted and
this can be done at any place, provided there is an electrical
outlet, be it an office or at home.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Patent drawing for an "Electric Bicycle" (1895)
The history of electrical motorcycles is somewhat unclear.
On 19 September 1895, an application for an "electrical
bicycle" was filed by Ogden Bolton Jr. of Canton Ohio. On 8
November of an equivalent year, another application for an
"electric bicycle" was filed by Hosea W. Libbey of Boston. At
the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle
manufacturer Humber exhibited an electrical tandem.
Powered by a bank of storage batteries, the motor was placed
ahead of the rear wheel. Speed of the tandem was controlled
by a resistance placed across the handlebars. The main intend
of this electric bicycle was mainly for racetrack use.
The October 1911 issue of standard Mechanics mentioned the
introduction of an electrical motorbike. It claimed to own a
speed of seventy five miles (121 km) to a hundred miles (160
km) per charge. The motorbike had a three-speed controller,
with speeds of four miles (6.4 km), fifteen miles (24 km) and
thirty five miles (56 km) per hour.
