Why to build electric bike: In a world that is slowly moving away from petrol vehicles to electric vehicles it is very important for every student who is even remotely connected to automobiles to undertake this project.

Automation in industries & workplaces will be the biggest threat to jobs for the students in school today. Students are better off starting to think about creating jobs instead of looking for it.

This will help them to get an understanding of how an electric vehicle functions and help them to build bigger and better electric vehicles.

Converting an existing bike... to electric is one of the most easiest electric vehicle project. This project takes around 1 hour of work.

(Those who are using above 250 watts motor and speeds above 25kmph on electric cycles... BE WARNED: Traffic Police can impound your cycle because it is illegal. DON'T BREAK THE LAW!)

For a battery less electric-bike use a 250W Solar Panel overhead.
