Abstract: Automobile pollution is growing day by day, hence the level of pollution in cities and urban areas is at dangerous levels due to the use of vehicles. Use electric vehicles would help reduce to some degree the pollution. Electric bike normally uses a single source of power (Battery). This single source makes the conversion efficiency low and high costs as well. So that we are adding Flexible Solar module. This electric bike uses dc motor to generate power when riding, uses Photovoltaic flexible solar panels while scooter is at rest, and a port for charging the battery from main power supply. . This electric bike uses 48V 800W brushless direct current (BLDC) hub motor and Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. Photovoltaic flexible solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity.
