Design and application of two-person electric vehicle

Abstract

Nowadays, decrease in the oil reserves, effect of the exhaust gas emissions of thermal motor vehicles on air pollution and the increasing environmental problems arising due to air pollution have increased the significance of electric vehicles. In this study, a light and easy to use electric vehicle without power transmission organs has been designed and manufactured by driving the vehicle from the rear via the electric motor on the third wheel being located at the back of the vehicle without using a heavy and space-consuming mechanical gearbox and differential. Absence of powertrains in this vehicle will improve lightness and efficiency in the vehicle. While the vehicle is steered with the two wheels at the front side, the third wheel located at the rear, on which the electric motor is located, acts as driving wheel. Main power source of an electric vehicle is the battery. An electric vehicle gets its propulsion from batteries.
