Abstract

Bicycles offer extremely efficient, pollution-free transportation for urban and suburban areas and the addition of electric drive eliminates the sweat, extends the range and helps older riders. However, we must recognize the problems that restrict ridership to a hardy few. For the rider, these includedanger from autos, stop and go driving on streets not designed and maintained for skinny tires, and hard weather. And for the local government, bike lanes take up valuable space without providing revenue. Presented here is generally of a solar powered vehicle which is specific on conventional bicycle. Actually, the usage of solar panel is for an alternative source to replace the fuel consumption. This invention will be in small scale which is (1:4). The preferred embodiment consists of a standard children electric bicycle, plus an electrical propulsion system and a solar charging apparatus. The preferred embodiment is normally powered by a motor and electrical switch that can be operate at any time. The electrical propulsion system consists of DC electric motor and a plurality of batteries. The recharging part consists of battery charger and solar panels. The analysis part will be enclosed about the characteristic of battery and solar panels and also the connection between these two power sources in this invention.
