The bicycle may be equipped with a display for speed and battery and voltage indicators and connection at the sides or beneath the display with rubbers closing caps. Wind turbine can be mounted on several places of the bicycle where wind flow is not disturbed by the individual. which can be enclosed when not needed. This may be with applied manually. [1799] AT LEAST ONE: Of the great variety of e-bikes available worldwide, from e-bikes that only have a small motor to assist the rider's pedal-power (i.e., peddles) to somewhat more powerful e-bikes which tend closer to moped style functionality: all, however, retain the ability to be pedaled by the rider and are therefore not electric motorcycles. E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and the lighter varieties can travel up to 25 to 32 km/h (16 to 20 mph), depending on the laws of the country in which they are sold, while the more high-powered varieties can often do more than 45 km/h (28 mph). In some markets, such as Germany, they are gaining in popularity and taking some market share away from conventional bicycles, while in others, such as China, they are replacing fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles. Depending on local laws, many e-bikes (e.g., peddles) are legally classified as bicycles rather than mopeds or motorcycles, so they are not subject to the more stringent laws regarding their certification and operation, unlike the more powerful two-wheelers which are often classed as electric motorcycles. [1800] E-bikes can also be defined separately and treated as a specific vehicle type in many areas of legal jurisdiction. E-bikes are the electric motor-powered versions of motorized bicycles, which have been around since the late 19th century. A bike equipped with an after-market electric hub motor conversion kit, with the battery pack placed on the rear carrier rack. Some of the less expensive e-bikes used bulky lead acid batteries, whereas newer models generally used NiMH, NiCad, and/or Li-ion batteries, which offered lighter, denser capacity batteries. Performance varies; however, in general there is an increase in range and speed with the latter battery types. BLDC Bicycle Hub Motor. By 2001 the terms e-bike, power bike, paddled electric bicycle, pedal assisted, and power-assisted bicycle were commonly used to refer to E-bikes. The terms "electric motorbike" or "e-motorbike" refer to more powerful models that attain up to 80 km/h (50 mph). [1801] In a parallel hybrid motorized bicycle, such as the aforementioned 1897 invention by Hosea W. Libby, human and motor inputs are mechanically coupled either in the bottom bracket, the rear wheel, or the front wheel, whereas in a (mechanical) series hybrid cycle, the human and motor inputs are coupled through differential gearing. In an (electronic) series hybrid cycle, human power is converted into electricity and is fed directly into the motor and mostly additional electricity is supplied from a battery.

G. Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, GS Mandal’s- MIT, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, (India) ABSTRACT An Amphibious vehicle is a means of transport, viable on land as well as on water even under water. It is simply may also called as Amphibian. Amphibious vehicle is a concept of vehicle having versatile usage. It can be put forward for the commercialization purpose with respect to various applications like in the field of military and rescue operations. Researchers are working on amphibious vehicle with capability to run in adverse conditions in efficient way. This paper focuses on concept of amphibious vehicle in detail. In later stage of paper we have explain and described the design and analysis of amphibious car. We have followed proper design procedure and enlisted the material used in detail. Capabilities of efficient amphibious vehicle will fulfil all the emerging needs of society. Success of every concept largely relies on research and development, though amphibious vehicle is yet to travel a long journey of innovative development, it has shown excellent potentials for future benefits.

Jürgen Gerlach Bergische Universität Wuppertal Fachbereich D - Abteilung Bauingenieurwesen Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Straßenverkehrsplanung und Straßenverkehrstechnik Pauluskirchstrasse 7 42285 Wuppertal [email protected] Aktuell sind in Deutschland zahlreiche Radschnellwegprojekte zu verzeichnen. Radschnell- wege sollen bei Investitionsaufwendungen, die je nach Planungskonzept, Voraussetzung und Anzahl von Brücken und Tunnel zwischen rd. 0,5 und 2,0 Mio. Euro pro km liegen, ein zügiges, attraktives und sicheres Radfahren in einem Entfernungsbereich von bis zu rd. 20 km gewährleisten und Verlagerungen insbesondere von Kfz-bezogenen Berufspendlerver- kehren bewirken. Erfahrungen mit derzeit 18 realisierten Radschnellstrecken in den Nieder- landen, zwei realisierten Radschnellverbindungen in Dänemark und enormen Anstrengungen zum Aufbau einer hochwertigen Radverkehrsinfrastruktur in Großbritannien zeigen, dass diese Ziele in bemerkenswerter Weise erreicht werden. Radschnellwege werden insofern auch in Deutschland ein sinnvoller und schon recht bald ein fester Bestandteil des Rad- wegenetzes sein. Status Quo and experience with the planning and operation of cycle highways in the Netherlands, Denmark, Great Britain and Germany Numerous projects of cycle highways can be recorded in Germany at the moment. Cycle highways require investments between 0.5 and 2.0 million Euros per km - depending on the planning concept, condition and number of bridges and tunnels.
