  • Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Vehicle Type
    Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Power sources for hybrid vehicles include: Coal, wood or other solid combustibles Compressed or liquefied natural gas Electricity Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves Electric vehicle battery Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing Hydrogen On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) Petrol or Diesel fuel Solar Wind Vehicle type Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, as power is delivered both via an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototypes of motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principles to power it up. In a parallel hybrid bicycle human and motor power are mechanically coupled at the pedal drive train or at the rear or the front wheel, e.g. using a hub motor, a roller pressing onto a tire, or a connection to a wheel using a transmission element. Human and motor torques are added together. Almost all manufactured Motorized bicycles, Mopeds are of this type. In a series hybrid bicycle (SH) the user powers a generator using the pedals. This is converted into electricity and can be fed directly to the motor giving a chainless bicycle but also to charge a battery. The motor draws power from the battery and must be able to deliver the full mechanical torque required because none is available from the pedals. SH bicycles are commercially available, because they are very simple in theory and manufacturing. The first known prototype and publication of an SH bicycle is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975.

  • Electric Bikes and Scooters Snapshot of State Laws
    Electric Bikes and Scooters Snapshot of State Laws State legislators, including those in Montana, are examining state laws, analyzing the use of electronic bikes (e-bikes), and determining how best, if at all, to regulate their use on public streets and paths. According to the National Conference of State Legislature (NCSL), 33 states and the District of Columbia define e-bikes in law.1 Montana is included in that list.

Abstract Throughout the world, the electric bicycle (e-bike) industry is growing very quickly. The North American market has been somewhat slow to adopt this technology, which is still considered to be in the “early adopter” phase (Rose & Dill, 2011; Rose, 2011), but in recent years, this has begun to change. But as e-bike numbers increase, so too will potential conflicts (actual or perceived) with other vehicles and non-motorized devices, bicycles and pedestrians, causing policy questions to arise.
