Abstract: An Automatic bicycle is a cycle used for general purpose along with the additional features for easy transportation. These additional features in this cycle includes self-balancing, GPS System, sensors, and a motor to drive the cycle with less human effort. It has been a major problem in cities which is heavy traffic with large pollution so to overcome this automatic bicycle can be used. But people hesitate to use bicycle because of its low speed and also due to more mechanical work is needed to move the cycle. This project aims to design a new smart bicycle which can move automatically with the help of sensors. People can reach their destinations with the help of GPS system and the display screen which will be in the front part of the cycle. The wheel of the cycle attached with the motor is connected to the rechargeable battery which makes the cycle to move. The sensors such as Lidar sensor,ultrasonic sensor and radar sensors are placed around the cycle and to monitor the position of cycle by 360* rotating camera and also to keep track of signals , other vehicles and external bodies. This e-cycle will create a great impact in the future as it is compact, economical, efficient and easiest way of transportation.
