What electric engine for my Pedal-Electric bike?




Francesco


Dear guys,
I'm going to turn my bike in a Pedal-Electric bike as a DIY work.
I saw there are a lot of motors:
250W
350W
500W
750W
1000W
Can you suggest me the best (couple or single) batteries (Watt and Ah) to bind with these motors?



Answer
You have to first ask yourself what kind of performance is required from your vehicle and what kind of budget you have to work with.

If you have lots of hills in your area of travel and / or think you might be packing quite a load you might want to consider a more powerful motor. The same might be true if you wanted to go faster but then you might want to consider a fairing to cut the wind resistance that is more of a factor at higher speed.

For a more powerful motor you will need to have batteries with a higher capacity for the same distance. Higher battery capacity will increase your distance you can travel. A too powerful motor will tend to drain your batteries unnecessarily.

You may also wish to consider the weight of the components as there may be times that you will be powering the bike without the benefit of the motor. A lighter weight will also extend your range.

I assume this will be your first project of this type. You are therefore likely going to want to gain from the experience while keeping the cost of the education to a minimum. I might suggest you go for a medium range of performance or cost. Good luck with it. If you document the conversion with pictures and a story you could post it on instructables.com or another site.

Hyderabad co rolls out electric bike

sify.com: August 08, 2005

Hyderabad: A city-based company has developed an electric bicycle that makes no noise or emits pollutants. It will be the most economical two-wheeler, costing just 30 paise for every kilometre.

"It is as simple as switching on a bulb," said M. Venkataiah, Chairman of Cynosure Enterprises Ltd.

"But for the two wheels, nothing moves in it. Because there is no internal combustion activity, there is absolutely no noise," he said on the technology.

Built on indigenous technology, the manufacturers are planning to commence sales in October.

The bike offers 60 km of non-stop drive on a fully charged battery at speeds in the range of 25-30 km/hr.

Showcasing the first batch of "e-bikes" here on Sunday, Mandali S. Rao, Director of Cynosure Enterprises Ltd, said the bike offered several other economic benefits. "It won't come under the Motor Vehicles Act and hence there is no need to pay road tax," he said.

Declining to announce the price pattern, he said that it would cost much less than the scooterettes.

The `Yash' series of bikes would have five variants - Pretty (180 watts), Docile (240W), Acute (350W and 600W) and Whiz (600W), catering to all segments of customers.

Initially, each of these would be available in three colours.

In the first phase, the company would sell the bikes in Andhra Pradesh before expanding to other States.

"Battery-run two-wheelers are quite popular in Japan and Korea," he said.

The company would invest Rs 5 crore and hoped to manufacture 1,500-2,000 bikes a month. "We are going to appoint 100 dealerships next month. We plan to start sales beginning the Vijayadasami festival," he said.

M. Venkataiah, who is also the Director (Technical) of Force Motors (formerly Bajaj Tempo Ltd), said the company would be setting up energy points to help customers.
