Abstract
The performance of electric bicycles for the mountainous region depends on a simulation model and experimental study covers dynamic characteristics, power requirement to propel the electric cycle, and different operating conditions such as slope gradient, a mass of the user, wind speed, wheel diameter, and length of the crankshaft. The study highlights the mathematical model of the electric bicycle with dynamic characteristics and calculates the power required to propel the cycle in the mountainous region under a parallel hybrid mode. The application is supported with an android operating system, which keeps track of the cycle issued to potential users. The system has a mechanism in place, which issues the cycle to only those users who unblock it through the application by scanning the correct quick response code. The Simulink is used for mathematical model development and analyzing dynamic characteristics of the electric bicycle. The dSPACE development board framework is used for the experimental validation as a solver to capture multiple input-output parameters. The results show that an electric bicycle motor generates 23.87 Nm of torque at 8 km/h and requires 240 W of power to propel the electric cycle at 34 km/h. The electric bicycle consumes an average current of 8.2 A at a zero slope gradient. It also shows that required power changes to 260 W at 2.9o slope gradient, 310 W at 4.8o slope gradient and 350 W at 7.1o slope gradient.
