Technical Field

The embodiments herein generally relate to a two wheeler automobile vehicle and more particularly, to a hybrid motorcycle which is capable of running on a petrol as well as electrically charged batteries. The batteries can be easily charged with the movement of the motorcycle in petrol mode and can also be recharged independently through a portable charger without taking out the batteries.

Description of the Related Art
Electric and petrol bikes are individually quite popular and used widely in their own right. Recently, electric bikes have looked upon by people as the next generation mode of 2-wheeler transport, since it offers cheaper alternative to petrol run motorcycles and is also environment friendly. However, electric motorcycles come with their own disadvantages which as follows:

Low speed: This disadvantage is not common to all electric scooters. However, it should be noted that in some models, the electric bike has smaller wheels than a traditional motorcycle which can affect its cruising speed.

The charging time: Charging the battery of an electric scooter takes more time than refueling for a scooter with a combustion engine. It is not a common disadvantage to all electric bikes, but in some cases and models, the battery of an electric scooter can be discharged more quickly at low temperatures.
Recharging points: the extension of the network of charging points for electric motorcycles is a pending issue that many countries still have, including the United States.

Another attempt has been made by people to make hybrid scooters, which is basically a scooter which can be run on petrol as well as electric alternatively. However, most of the attempts are directed towards electricity storage and use in electric mode as a regenerative breaking for initial acceleration of the scooter which saves on petrol. Other attempts made to make is pure hybrid scooters or motorcycles were faced with the problems of complicated motorcycle design, primarily to do with complicated wiring systems helping rider to switch from petrol to electric and vice versa during running of the vehicle. But if any slight problem occurs with these wiring systems then whole system needs to be changed which is a costly affair. Also another major problem is that with the battery storage. Here the weight of the battery is more which tends to make the motorcycle more heavy. A typical efficient motorcycle to run on full electric would require at least 4 numbers of batteries, therefore along with petrol engine the weight of the motorcycle increases significantly. If lithium ions batteries are used then the cost of the vehicle increases significantly to generate same amount of power.

Accordingly, there remains a need for new technology driven hybrid motorcycle which is less complicated in wiring design, easy to switch between petrol and electric mode. Uses cheaper battery and can cover longer range with no need for charging in between.
