Abstract
This research compared the environmental, technological, and fiscal advantages of
switching from gas-powered to electric bikes. During the analysis, it is established that
purchasing a brand-new gasoline motorbike is more expensive than converting a
motorcycle to run on electricity. Additionally, compared to a gasoline-powered
motorbike, the yearly fuel cost for an electric motorcycle was considerably cheaper,
yielding considerable savings over time. The research took into account the
environmental advantages of electronic bikes, which don't emit any emissions directly
and can run on renewable energy. The findings demonstrated that converting a
motorbike from fuel to electricity provided significant financial and environmental
advantages. Less than three years were needed for the conversion to pay for itself, and
over a ten-year span, there were sizable total savings. While switching from petroleum
to electric bikes may help lessen air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and our
reliance on fossil fuels. According to the established statistics and data collected from
different resources and calculating them, converting existing bikes to electric vehicles
is a practical choice for lowering emissions associated with mobility and reaching
sustainable development objectives.
Description
Dependency in the fossil fuel has been common thing for the transportation from the
mid-18th century. In the mid-19th century, electric powered vehicles have become
interesting means to propel the vehicle. With the rising environmental concern and
limited availability of the fossil fuel, research and development for the electric vehicles
has been started
