E-Bike

The E-bike project, embarked on a straightforward yet ambitious mission to convert a standard bicycle into an electric bike. Within this dedicated team, our journey unfolded over several months, where we combined creativity with rigorous engineering to turn our vision into reality.

In this pioneering project, my role was centered around designing the battery holder and contributing to the mechanical engineering process in Fusion360. This involved not just adapting a motor to a bicycle but ensuring the design was efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and functional. My work started with exploring design concepts for the battery holder, leading to the creation of 3D models tailored to our battery's specific needs. Alongside design efforts, I participated in crucial mechanical discussions, contributing to decisions that would shape our project's success.

Early on, we focused on assessing inventory and planning the mechanical and electrical integration needed. As we progressed, we tackled the complex issue of energy generation, leveraging principles like Lens's Law to guide our dynamo design decisions. A significant part of our journey involved choosing between using a dynamo or an alternator. This decision required a thorough understanding of energy conversion and storage mechanisms, vital for creating an efficient and sustainable electric bike.
