- Rungta student prepares unique bicycle that can run 25 KMs using half a unit power.
- The bicycle’s one-of-a-kind anti-theft mechanism adds to its uniqueness by protecting it from thieves.
- The 36 volt motor in this cycle is powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery.
A BE Electrical final year student from Rungta Engineering College in the Durg district has created a one-of-a-kind e-cycle. The cycle is unique in that its battery can be fully charged using only half a unit of power. By spending only 8 paise in the power consumption, the cycle can run almost 25 Kms. The bicycle’s one-of-a-kind anti-theft mechanism adds to its uniqueness by protecting it from thieves. In addition, the e-cycle has a number of unique and extraordinary features which makes it even more special.
Used a lithium iron phosphate battery
The 36 volt motor in this cycle is powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery. It differs from the new Lithium Iron battery on the market. There is no danger of an explosion in this battery. Not only that, but the battery’s lifespan ranges from 8 to 10 years. No maintenance is required for the battery.
E-cycle founding members
Six final-year engineering students collaborated to create the cycle. Pallav Chatterjee, Abhishek Urvasha, Prakhar Chandrakar, Pranshu Mittal, Mohan Kumar, and Jayant Tandon are among the founding members. When Pallava Chatterjee, one of the founding members was questioned about the e-cycle, he stated that he had prepared the bike for merely 12 thousand rupees.
The E-cycle’s features
The cycle is a hybrid electric vehicle cycle. It boasts more high-tech features than the electric cycle that is coming on the market. This e-cycle is equipped with an entry theft alarm system to keep it safe from thieves. In the case of an accident, it will also notify the concerned person by sending a text message to their phone.
Along with this, a special LED light setup has been installed in the cycle. For about 8 paise or less, it covers a distance of 25 kms with a weight of 250 kg. It’s also faster than other e-cycles. The cycle can run on roads with a peak speed of 35 kmph.
Preparing for the commercial debut
Engineering students are prepared to introduce this e-cycle in the market. Cycle firms are being approached about this. Following that, it will be made available to the public for purchase. The e-cycle will cost up to 30% less than other e-cycles.
