A REVIEW ON : THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HYBRID TECHNOLOGY ON THE BIKE AS A TWO WAY POWER MOTOR CYCLE

In the last few years, environmental impact and price rise of the Petroleum based fuels have increased. For this perfect alternative, Electric vehicles are much preferred commonly ar ound the world. Now Transient period of conventional vehicles to electric vehicles have started. Dual - mode vehicles are electrically powered and conventional internal combustion engine run in dual - mode for power too. Using batteries for electric drive and reciprocating engine for conventional drive either one can be operated at a time and this can be switch manually according to the application requirement. The Motorcycle with combination of IC engine and electric motor will provide a good start for electri c vehicle usage by the consumers. This method of dual operation in two wheelers reduces running cost and environmental impacts. In this present paper shows dual operation of a two wheeler with mode - 1 by conventional IC engine drive and the mode - 2 is an ele ctric drive consisting of a BL - DC motor fixed on the front of the vehicle powered by a 12V battery placed above the motor. The power from thatBL - DC motor is transmitted to the rear axle shaft with modified transmission to drive the vehicle. This power can be restored to the battery with an alternator.The battery can also be charged using solar cells. The motor speed is controlled through a Rheostat Control Method.
