Retrofitting of Internal Combustion Engine Bike into Electric Bike
Abstract
The biggest drawback of today's I.C. Engine motorcycles on the market is that the exhaust generated by the engine contributes to increased emissions in the environment. The fuel used to power those bikes is non-renewable, and when they're running, they make a lot of noise. Electric motorcycles currently have a number of advantages over traditional I.C. engine motorcycles, but they are limited in terms of mileage.The aim of this paper is to create a cost-effective electric motorcycle while also addressing one of the electric motorcycle's main drawbacks, namely, mileage (km/charge). The goal of the paper can be met by employing low-cost materials and equipment that can increase the mileage of a motorcycle by repurposing the energy released by the engine.
