Abstract : In the current situation, a hybrid bicycle powered by solar and dynamo energy could address the significant issues of rising fuel prices, especially the steady increase in petrol costs. Additionally, vehicle pollution in metropolitan and urban areas is continually growing. To tackle these problems, efforts are being made to research alternative energy sources for bicycles. For middle-class individuals, purchasing fossil fuel vehicles can be prohibitively expensive. Considering all these factors, there is an ongoing search for solutions that cater to economically disadvantaged people and address environmental pollution. The solar and dynamo-assisted hybrid bicycle is driven by a direct current motor installed in the front axle housing, operating on electrical energy. Solar panels mounted on the carriage charge the battery, which in turn powers the hub motor. When the bicycle is stationary or parked, the solar panel continues to charge the battery. Additionally, a pair of 48-volt dynamos fixed on the rear wheel charges the battery as the bicycle moves.
