Abstract

Inter-professional Project 315 (IPRO 315) is a group of students set up to

researchand design a h ybrid electric bicycle . With a wide variety of students, all comin g from different areas of studies, everyone is able to bring good ideas to the drafting table. In this publication, many different concepts will be explored regarding the actual design of t he bicycle, the

different types of motors, various batteries, regenerative braking, and methodsfor controlling the complete apparatus. Conclusions were drawn from each theory investigated determinin g whether they should be implemented in a

prototype or set aside for a differentdesign.

M UCH discussion was given to how far back this IRPO should start, meaning shall IPRO315 design an entirely new bicycle, or shall a bicycle

frame, already built, be usedand the necess ary components ad ded to it? To decid e upon this, two di fferentmechanical designs, parallel and serial, will be explored as well as different

typesof drive shafts. Various drive shaft s ultimately determi ne the overall mech anicalefficiency of the bicycle. If a chain drive is used, then assorted gearing styles alsoaffect the mechanical efficiency and in turn influence

the motor.There are m any, many motors on the market toda y, but a select few fit thisapplication. A motor can be pur chased in a motor/ generator set or th e motor andgenerat or separately. In

order to establish a type of motor, research must be done todecide upon the generation system.Ranges of diverse batteries also carry some advantages and disadvantages. By usingresources

available to us on the IIT campus, IPRO 315 shall settle on which type ofbattery is the most excellent battery for this application considering size, weight,current output, and discharge time.

Again, investigating the knowledge held withinthese school walls, a controller shall be designed for IPRO 315 specifications andimplemented in a prototype managing both the motor and generator.As a

starting point for the IRPO 315 research, the different designs of both
hybrid

electric bicycles and electri c bicycles on the market today will be examined andscrutinized. Out

of convenience, the World Wide Web is the most accessible form ofrecords when mining for information. It is important to note not all statements ordescriptions are completely accurate, no matter what form

it may be in. Consideringthis, all records and statistics researched shall be reflected on with a bit of commonsense and logic. Conclusions shall be drawn listing advantages and disadvantages, indue

course, supplying IPRO 315 with blueprint ideas and concepts.
