Design Parameter and Simulation Analysis of Electric Bike Using Bi-Directional Power Converter

Energy and environment are the supreme priority of the 21
^st
century. Proliferating use of Electric vehicles introducing zero pollution transport system. Electric bikes are widely attractive due to the affordability and compact size. Paper provides basic design analysis of electric bikes. The research analyzed and compute the power requirement, battery capacity, maximum angular velocity, converter parameters and filter values for the required electric bike. Simulation and calculation analysis are performed for both driving and regenerative mode using a bidirectional converter. The research concludes the power consumption, regenerative energy, charging current behavior while driving and the impact of regenerative braking on mileage. Results also provide a comparison of electric bikes with ICE bikes.
