Talking about the projects, Rajesh Singh, Director of the college, said, "Students worked in a team of four and displayed 150 projects. Each one of them was unique, but the E-Bike grabbed lot of attention.
An E-Bike is battery powered, has zero pollution and is a zero maintenance bike. It has five speeds in a range of 5 to 40 kms hour. It can run a total of 60 kms in a fully charged condition with a cost of 10 paise per km.
"Around the world, mankind's love affair with the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle is polluting our air, depleting precious resources, and congesting our roadways. We can help solve these problems by altering our transit patterns and taking advantage of clean and efficient modes of powered transportation. My team mates Mayank Goswami, Lohit Raskar, Jay Bhatt and I then came up with this idea," said 18-year-old Govind Jangid.
Such bikes though are not much prevalent in India is popular in the US. Made on similar lines the E-Bike by the students costs only Rs 9,500 and took seven months to finish. The battery run bike is easy to handle and can easily drive you to shorter distances.
"We have made it in a way that it can be charged through a mobile charger in dire circumstances. One only needs to connect the charger with the battery and plug the charger in. The battery will be fully charged in four hours," said 18-year-old Mayank Goswami, another member of the group.
The bike also has shock absorbers for bad roads and weighs 35 kg but with a capacity to carry more than 100 kg. The outside body is made of fibre frames.
