electric bicycle from chennai to hit roads - lithium iron battery
The Chennai-
Basil Energy is preparing to launch an electric bike iZip in Hyderabad by the end of this month.
With a long
Long lasting and light
Portable lithium iron phosphate battery (
As used by Tesla and Toyota)
IZip can travel at a maximum speed of 20 km kilometers per hour.
A cycle weighing 35 kg can drive 25 km per full charge.
Using the power of the solar or power grid, the battery can be charged within 90 minutes. The non-
Gear bikes can also ride like traditional bikes. “We have field-
The loop was tested in many places.
The test has been going on for the past three years, "said Dr. R.
Lazarasnan, chairman of Basil energy
"We will work with the Pune Automobile Research Association of India (ARAI)
Certification takes about 15 days.
These cycles will be commercially available by November-end. ”The 2. 2-
The Kg battery has 24 batteries, 8 in each group and 3 rows in each group.
The total battery voltage is 25. 6 volts.
"The motor is 24 volts and the total power stored in the battery is 240 wattshour,” Dr.
Said Ramarathnam.
The battery can be removed from the cycle and charged at home.
These cells are imported from China, and Basil arranges these cells in-
Chennai House
"There is an electronic circuit called a battery management system that ensures that the current from a single battery remains constant and that the current through each battery is the same.
This ensures that a single battery will not be damaged internally, so the life of the battery will be extended, "he said.
The battery will last 2,000 charge and discharge cycles.
Charge the battery after deep discharge (
Completely exhausted battery)
Also possible.
IZip cycles also has disc brakes and electric brakes for the rear wheels.
"When you pull the brake lever, the controller senses it and runs the motor in the opposite direction, so that when the brake is in a controlled manner, the cycle stops quickly and stably," Dr.
Ramarathnam explains the concept behind electric braking.
Remove the axel of the loop and place the hub motor in its position.
The motor shaft acts like a normal shaft.
The company uses its proprietary motor and motor controllers for bicycles.
The total carrying capacity of the bike is 150 kg, he said. “The on-
The road cost of IZip is Rs. 25,000,” Dr.
Said Ramarathnam.
"Low operating costs.
Even if the cycle is used 25 km per day, charging the battery within one month requires only 7 units of electricity.
The cost is high due to battery reasons.
When the volume of transactions increases, we may reduce the cost.
