Further, the electric bikes run on battery, which is limited since the amount power storage is not huge in the electric motorcycles and charge may exhausted in quick time over period of time.
[004] The Patent Application IN 202241007253 a convenient drive for all people in any type of roads with a maximum comfort and pollution less smooth drive. An inbuilt charger of 10 A is pre-fixed in the bike, hence an additional carrying of the charger is not needed while travelling. It’s capable of full charging the bike within 2 to 3 hours and automatic charging using the running of motor by the fuel. The connection of the drive is made with a chain drive to reduce the transmission of vibration to the motor; hence it doesn’t disturb the life of motor.
[005] The The Patent Application 2118/MUM/2014 describes the conversion of a petrol run motorcycle in to a plug-in hybrid electric motorcycle. Such a motorcycle would have two sets of powertrains. A.) Existing 2 or 4 stroke IC engine which uses petrol as fuel B.) Electric motor which is operated by battery power. The powertrain configuration for this hybrid motorcycle would be- 1.) Electric BLDC Hub motor mounted in the front wheel and providing a direct drive to the front wheel 2.)
