Dec 18 2012: Its more like brainstorming waiting to hear more from you sir.
Thanks for those links it really helps me a lot in finding the right market .hybrids are still not so common like the normal bikes maybe because of lack of awareness.. its really getting more difficult for me to do this work.
Dec 18 2012: I initially thought about the" plugin hybid concept" also. "plugin hybrid" would enable more flexibility in charging . thanks for the links and your valuable suggestion waiting to hear more from you if you wish.. these comments would help me a lot in my works. as a mechanical engineer i would like to contribute something to this automobile society and rural public.
Mounting all the components in a motorbike is more difficult which is a challenging task.. a little miscalculation would lead to failure. power rating of the motor,generator rating etc.. i have to reduce the size and make the chassis suitable for stability and it should be aerodynamically efficient.. i can make bamboo chassis and the basic layout.. lets see i don't know how far it will be efficient. i would need the help of an electrical engineer to complete the work.
Dec 18 2012: Yes i agree my bike would not be eco-friendly but it is less violent than a normal bike.. it reduces emissions when compared to a normal motorbike. My aim is to produce such bike for the commuter and also for the rural commuters,the disadvantage of my model would be cost but instead of spending more money on fossil fuel at regular intervals to fill the fuel tank why cant we spend some amount of money at a time and buy this hybrid bike ..in long term my bike would not drink more fuel..money will be saved whats your suggestion?
Dec 18 2012: If hybrid vehicles are less efficient than normal vehicles, then cars like "toyota prius hybrid" would have not been introduced in the market.i can give lot of examples for the success of hybrid technology.
i see hybrid bikes as a solution for the battery swapping problem in electric bikes during a long journey.
Electric bikes cannot be used for long distance traveling whereas a series hybrid electric bike that i'm suggesting which runs on both diesel engine and electric motor(BLDC) will be suitable .I will remove the extra components from a normal bike and reduce the size of a petrol tank ..i ll bring down the kerb weight to increase mileage. the work of the internal combustion engine here only is to charge the accumulator(battery with a supercapacitor) through generator,the drivetrain is connected to the motor.
Dec 16 2012: Can you please elaborate your comment
? i am doing a project on series hybrid electric bike as my B.E degree project ..please help me out if u can?
Dec 16 2012: i know there are many commercial source but countries like india , and many other underdeveloped countries still don see hybrid bikes as a solution to this fossil fuel depletion .... commercial use of hybrid bikes are still in the lower stage..
