Abstract: Present version of Electric bicycle available in market is not self charging and this bicycle suffers with more weight. Such bikes used for short distance. The term “SOLAIR” (Self charging electric bicycle) is used to describe "electric-motor-powered bicycles," including both fully and partially motor-powered bicycles. This project is consist six separate parts: The Battery, Dynamo as a wind generator, the BLDC motor, controller, charging system and solar panel. Use of simplified Mechanical design and less weighted dry cell batteries to overcome the above problems. Wind-solar combination is used for self charging. Due to that bicycle become smart and speed is increased. Charging time required for battery of this bicycle is less and discharging time is more. Some components such as motor, controller, battery, governor were installed in common bicycle, it is called electric bicycle. The speed of electric bicycle is controlled by controller, which ensure the electric bicycle safety and it is also the core component. Accomplished function of capacity detection, under-voltage protection and so on, because of PIC16F72 was taken as the main control chip, make modern electric bicycle increasingly more tend to be intelligent. The driving force of traditional electric bicycle completely come from motor, it not only reduce battery life greatly but also waste more electricity energy. The design is very efficient, cost-effective, and one day mass-manufactured, especially in developing countries where automotive transportation is an impossible. Here, the self charging electric bicycle market would benefit from further research both on the battery and on the drive technology and their use with electric bicycles. A self charging electric bicycle based on a brushless dc motor drive which has high efficiency, zero pollution, clean and convenient, is then designed and implemented in this project.
