Electric bicycles--powered by a rechargeable battery pack--are proven to deliver the highest possible energy efficiency, even compared to pedal bikes. A transportation alternative to fossil fuels, electric bicycles are fast catching on, in part because they don't require factory assembly. End-users can easily construct them with available components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text reveals important techniques, data, and examples that allow readers to judge various propulsion setups--used in both home- and factory-made bikes--and estimate speed and travel distance for each. Numerous charts clearly present the costs, benefits, and trade-offs between both commercial and user-converted models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  *Estimating motor-performance for wind, hill, and cruising power requirements *Estimating battery capacity and a thorough description of battery charging *Motor and motor-control options *Evaluating motor-to-wheel coupling options *Placement of propulsion components *Configurations and performance *How systems-engineering techniques can produce electric-bicycle designs that have long travel range and low life-cycle cost *Testing *Developments to watch  \u003cp\u003eA comprehensive resource for harnessing innovation, \u003ci\u003eElectric Bicycles\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive practical guide to taking full advantage of this exciting alternative energy technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-IEEE Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45203747602583,"sku":"9780471674191","price":6557.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780471674191.webp?v=1767308264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/electric-bicycles-a-guide-to-design-and-use-9780471674191","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
