Abstract:
An e-bike, is a bike which uses rechargeable batteries and travels up to a distance of 25 to 32
km/hr. High powered varieties can travel more than 45 km/hr. The rechargeable batteries
used in the e-bike generally supplies the current to the motors which makes the bike move.
The motors used in the e-bikes are of two types one can be directly fitted on the hub called as
hub motor and the other is mounted on the chassis and the transmission is done via chains.
Depending on the current also the motors are of two types A.C. and D.C.. Mostly D.C.
motors are preferred for e-bikes as it does not requires rectifier because the current supplied
by the batteries are in the form of D.C current. And A.C. Motors are used in cars mostly in
Tesla.
