An Empirically Based Model for Electric Generation of Bicycle

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental study of an electric bicycle. We operated the bicycle on flat roads, uphill and downhill. The speed was categorized into slow, normal, and fast. Electrical loads were varied, step by step, for example 180, 240, 300, and 360 W. According to the observations of electrical power produced by an electric bicycle, we found that at the load of 240 W, it can produce a maximum power of 91.56 W. However, the generator can produce a maximum power of 350 W; therefore, we used a load of 360 W for studying and modeling. Finally, this model can be used to predict the electrical generation from electric bicycles as well as used for meter monitoring.
