LOW POWER ELECTRIC TWO-WHEELER WITH INTELLIGENT COOLING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In the past decade, the electric two-wheelers have been popular in many of the southeast Asian countries for urban drives. Presence of electric twowheeler is fastly growing in India too. Environmental problems promote the development of new generation EVs for transportation. Electric scooters are plug-in electric vehicles that runs on battery and can be recharged from any external sources of electricity. The important parts of electric scooter include a motor, battery pack, controller etc. Since electric scooters are not using an engine, it becomes an effective way of road transport as it does not cause any pollution. In future, electric two-wheelers maybe a replacement product for the engine driven vehicles, provided that safety, drive performance and cost issues are similar to that of actual engine EVs. In this paper, we have proposed a low power electric twowheeler with an intelligent cooling technology. A custom build portable Li ion battery pack is developed which gives power to the electric scooter. An intelligent cooling technology is applied to the battery pack using a thermostat module to cool the battery while overheating. A gear mechanism is implemented to reduce gear strain on the motor. The advantage of the model is that it does not cause any pollution, more energy efficient, smooth operation and depends wholly on electricity.
