E-Bike

Abstract

Electrics bicycles are the future of transportation. Our project helps build on this future by advancing electric bike design. We have two motors on the bike. One generates power to charge an on-board battery, while the other propels the bike forward as requested by user input. This allows the user to reach steady transportation speeds without the need to pedal constantly. A more effective future of transportation based on renewable energy is the way forward for us and the planet.

Objectives & Introduction

Show list of your objectives. This section includes the high level details of your project. You can write about the various sensors or peripherals you used to get your project completed. 1. Allow a motor to propel a bike forward when a button is pressed 2. Create a battery driven power circuit that can support an embedded system and can be charged without a wall adapter 3. Show the user the current status of their battery

Parts List & Cost

Give a simple list of the cost of your project broken down by components. Do not write long stories here.


  • Bike
  • LCD Screen
  • Battery Holder
  • Rechargable Batteries
  • Push Button
  • SJOne Board
  • Case

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

My Issue #1

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
