ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It gives us immense pleasure in bringing out the project
entitled “E-bike Speed Controller”
III
ABSTRACT
In this system, user can control the speed of motor using twisting throttle.
Throttle module will send signal to arduino board. Arduino board will measure the
amount of twist and generate PWM signal proportionally. This generated PWM signal
will be given to the motor driver section. Motor driver section contains MOSFET
which will control the current flowing through motor. With this changing current
through motor, motor speed will vary.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Electric motors are the driving force behind electric vehicles (EVs), and their
significance is multifaceted. These motors are not just a means of propulsion; they are
at the core of what makes EVs cleaner and more efficient than their internal
combustion engine counterparts. First and foremost, electric motors deliver a level of
efficiency that is unparalleled, converting a substantial portion of electrical energy
into forward motion while minimizing energy wastage. This efficiency translates into
a reduced environmental footprint, with EVs producing zero tailpipe emissions,
leading to cleaner air and a healthier environment. Moreover, the regenerative braking
capabilities of these motors enable the conversion of kinetic energy into electricity
during deceleration, thereby extending the vehicle's range and maximizing energy
use.
In addition to their environmental benefits, electric motors offer numerous
practical advantages. They provide instantaneous torque, resulting in rapid
acceleration and responsive driving experiences. The simplicity of their design, with
fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, leads to lower maintenance
costs and increased longevity. Furthermore, their quiet operation enhances urban
tranquility and their flexibility allows for innovative vehicle designs. Overall, electric
motors are pivotal in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, cutting operating costs,
and advancing the cause of global sustainability by ushering in a new era of cleaner
and more efficient transportation. To drive the motors efficiently and in more control
manner, motor speed controller is important.

transmission.In Materials science forum.Trans Tech Publications.
In 1999, AVL Company introduced a hybrid system featuring a 50 cc
carbeuretted lean-burn two-stroke engine combined with a 0.75 kW electric
motor, strategically positioned on the engine crankshaft primarily to enhance
torque during acceleration.[2]

integrated management system design of electric motorcycles. In American
Control Conference, 2004.Proceedings of the 2004.IEEE.
Su-Hau et al (2004) directed their attention towards optimizing the utilization
of battery energy and put forth a comprehensive management system for the
electric motor with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency.[3]

SCOPE OF PROJECT
Though the project sounds effective there is still scope to make it more effective
and user friendly. The throttle used here is the conventional speed regulator. With
this, voice commands or gestures can be added to provide user more comfortable
experience.
The project aims to design and develop an advanced e-bike speed controller that
enhances the overall performance and user experience of electric bicycles.
Through extensive research and analysis of existing technologies, the project will
identify key components and functionalities required for efficient speed regulation
in various riding conditions. Leveraging this knowledge, the design phase will
focus on creating a compact and lightweight controller capable of seamlessly
integrating with different types of e-bikes. Special attention will be given to
optimizing control algorithms to ensure smooth acceleration, responsive speed
adjustment, and minimal energy consumption. Prototyping and testing will
validate the performance of the controller under real-world conditions, with
iterative improvements based on test results.
The project will culminate in the documentation of the design process and the
dissemination of findings, aiming to contribute to the advancement of e-bike
technology and promote sustainable transportation solutions.

TESTING &
RESULTS
Analog output of throttle is in the range of 2.7V to 4.9V. This output voltage is
mapped into speed of 0 to 1000 RPM. To generate these RPM, PWM output of
Arduino ranges from 0 to 255. Obtained results of the system are as bellow:
6 Since the starting torque of DC motor is considerable, it does not start to rotate on
low PWM (low speed) and takes time and power to generate sufficient torque.
7 Here if the set speed crosses 100RPM and motor does not start to rotate, an
overload indication and alert will be provided. Whereas when motor gain
sufficient torque and start to match the set speed, the indication will be
automatically off as shown in figure 5.2.

8 When motor unable to rotate due to any reason like overweight or slope on the
road and faces overload, on overload indication will be provided. as shown in
figure 5.3
9 If due to short circuit or overload or fault in wiring, if voltage across supply drops
bellow 12V, alert for fault detection is generated and Arduino automatically stop
the motor supply till the fault removed.
