Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject Summary

This final year project aims to develop an extended electric bike capable of running on batteries and fossil fuel (petrol). Fossil fuel would be responsible for charging batteries via Dynamo and rotating wheels via a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. Before using it for the first time, batteries must be charged enough to E-start the bike by self-start the motor. It was resultantly, powering BLDC motor and batteries simultaneously. It was achieved by using BOOST CONVERTER AND OUTPUT POWER. Arduino microcontroller was programmed to control the overall features such as switching power between batteries and fossil fuels and other IOT-based features. So, the Arduino microcontroller was programmed to perform accordingly to control the flow of information such as battery status and make decisions such as when to switch between batteries and fossil fuel (petrol).

Project Objectives Project Implementation Method

We eliminate the charging issue using the Dynamo to implement the above objectives. The engine drives the Dynamo, and it is the closed-loop system with the feedback circuity in the controller to be designed. The main work of our project is the engine is giving power to Dynamo, which is also providing power to the controller. We use a battery management system to manage the rechargeable batteries by protecting them from operating outside their safe. It delivers the process to the controller. The controller also receives the input, which is the plugin giving us the input option for charging the bike. We use the engine to provide power, i.e., drive the Dynamo and then dynamo charge the battery and drive the bike if the battery is dead.

In the second objective, when the battery is less than 15%, the engine will automatically start, the motor will switch to Dynamo, and the battery will go into charging mode. The work is done by programming the Arduino, for which the special Printed circuit board is made to perform this task.

In the third objective, the throttle provides the controller's input. After everything goes through the controller, the output goes to the headlights, charging port, and the BLDC motor. Before going the output to the BLDC motor, the VFD will work here to perform the task of controlling the speed of standard AC induction or synchronous motor.

To implement the last objective, we use the GPS module, which integrates directly with the bike and gives the customer access to a comprehensive and accurate range of information and enhanced security, tracking, and anti-theft features. The module will turn off the bike within ten seconds as if anyone steals the bike. The power for the module is given from the bike alternator as the bike starts. The app is already built for this, which gives full control of anti-theft and tracking features with auto and manual lock of the bike, 24/7 GPS tracking with real-time navigation and activity.

Benefits of the Project Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We use a battery of 48 volts and 20Ah, and our motor power is 1000 watts, and Dynamo is 24 volt and 90 Amperes. The bike will run for 1 hour on battery at full load and full speed. The full speed is 60 km/h, and the full load is 200kg. The battery will take 3-4 hours to charge fully. We placed batteries under the bike seat, the Dynamo was fixed in the place of the carbonator, and the self-start motor was placed above the engine.
