Abstract: The hybrid-powered electric bicycle is a system that includes three different types of battery charging: solar power, dynamo and 220v AC charging. A solar-powered bicycle linked to a WSN (wireless sensing network) is proposed in this paper to monitor the transfer of solar energy to an electrical energy storage unit and to analyze its effectiveness. A solar-powered bicycle with a connected ZigBee and a wide-end wireless network control system is set up to achieve this goal. Experimental results shows that our prototype, a solar-powered bicycle achieve sufficient solar energy to charge a battery pack of two lead-acid battery. As a result, the user is updated with the data on the amount of immediate solar radiation, the degree of illumination, the ambient temperature, and the bicycle’s electrical energy storage capacity information through an internet interface by using a wireless network during the period when the bicycle is parked.
