Abstract
This project focuses on the design and development of a solar electric scooter aimed at promoting sustainable transportation. The primary objective was to create a lightweight, efficient scooter that utilizes solar energy for charging its electric battery, thereby reducing dependence on conventional power sources and minimizing environmental impact. The methodology involved selecting suitable materials and components, including a brushless DC motor, lithium-ion battery, and high-efficiency solar panels. A systematic design process was employed, leading to the construction of the scooter. Performance testing was conducted to evaluate key parameters such as speed, range, and charging efficiency under various weather conditions. Key findings indicate that the solar electric scooter can achieve a maximum speed of 25 kmh and a range of up to 30 kmh on a full charge. Under optimal sunlight conditions, the solar panels significantly enhance battery charging, allowing for extended usage without relying solely on grid power. Challenges included optimizing weight distribution and ensuring adequate solar exposure during operation. Overall, the project demonstrates the viability of integrating solar technology into personal transportation solutions, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future. Further improvements can be made in energy storage and aerodynamics to enhance performance, paving the way for future innovations in eco-friendly transport.
