Abstract :
The issues of global warming and depletion of
fossil fuels have created opportunities for electric
vehicles(EV).Electric vehicles(EV) may reduce global
green house gas emission(GHG)as the energy
consumption in the world’s transportation is high. This
paper represents the working and construction
arrangement of an electrically operated tandem cycle
with regenerative braking arrangement. In regenerative
braking, kinetic energy of the vehicle is stored in an
energy storing device instead of being dissipated and the
stored energy is used to drive the vehicle later on. This
type of electric cycle results in reduced human muscle
effort. Moreover the electric tandem cycle is environment
friendly and does not emit toxic gases in the atmosphere.
The electric tandem cycle does not produce sound
pollution by creating noise. The electrically operated
tandem cycle with solar charging system represents the
utilization of renewable energy. The electrically driven
tandem cycle is operated by a Permanent Magnet DC
Motor (PMDC). The motor is powered by a battery pack
of 24 V 10 Ah and it can be charged by a 24V 4 Ah
Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) or a solar panel of
24 V. This environment friendly electrically driven
tandem cycle reduces muscle power of a rider and it can
be available at low cost. After completion of this
experiment it has been recorded that the electrically
driven tandem cycle can run more times after installing
regenerative braking arrangement
