Abstract
The proposed work deal with building a hybrid electric motorcycle using brush-less DC hub motor and find out the mileage range of Petro-hybrid two-wheeler with lithiumion battery pack. Due to the conventional fossil fuel’s depletion and amount of emissions, the automotive industry now uses new technologies including fuel cells and electric automobiles. For these technologies to become commercially viable, much more development is still required. In the market today, electric and hybrid automobiles are well-known and widely appreciated. However, their full potential for penetrating the automobile market is not yet fulfilled, even with the ever expanding awareness of the global warming problem due to the low cost and ever abundance of fossil fuels for the conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. In order to achieve improved fuel efficiency, hybrid electric vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric wheel hub motor, battery, control system and lower hazardous emission levels.
