Design and implementation of an appropriate motor controller to improve the range of an e-bike

Abstract

According to statistics, riders want to use their electric bicycles for longer trips but are constrained by their batteries' short lifespan. Nowadays electric bicycles can be modified with many different electrical mechanisms that can enhance the travel distance covered by the bike. Most often a rider wants to use a system that can give more range coverage than the regular electric bike with the bike having a simple system rather than some extra attachments on the bike to enhance the ease of riding. In order to lengthen the trip distance and battery life of an electric bicycle, this paper explores an effective approach to apply and regulate a regenerative braking system for an electric bike. The groundwork for creating a better-performing electric bike with a regenerative braking system that could be fitted to any widely accessible electric bicycle conversion kit is being assembled and experimented with in this study.
