Electric Bicycles: A Guide to Design and Use (IEEE Press Series on Electronics Technology)
.
Design or build a battery-powered electric bicycleFor much of the world, bicycles are a transportation mainstay. Electric bicycles–powered by a rechargeable battery pack–are proven to deliver the highest possible energy efficiency, even compared to pedal bikes. A transportation alternative to fossil fuels, electric bicycles are fast catching on, in part because they don’t require factory assembly. End-users can easily construct them with available components.The text reveals important techniqu

Electric bikes!,
A really good overview of the various ways to power an electric bike. The author describes DC series motors (cheap, available, heavy) and the 3 phase AC motors (light, efficient, costly) as well as battery requirements. Obviously we would all like a bicycle that is light, efficient, and can be powered by muscle or electricity as required with no weight penalty: not gonna happen. Electric bikes are for efficient transportation to work, school, shopping. They will always be heavier and glonkier than traditional human powered bikes. but they may fill a niche for those of us who really depend on our bikes to get around.

|Text book review…,
This is a college text book that looks useful for students of mechanical engineering. There were a few pearls that I found useful. I bought it used for half price. There is nothing in it that I can criticize.

|The Best Electric Bike Book on the Market,
If you are considering buying an electric bicycle then you should consider purchasing a copy of this book first. This book goes into great detail telling you about all of the basic components which are necessary for electric bicycle. While it doesn’t promote a particular brand of electric bike, it does go into the history, different styles and design of electric bike and describes components that are necessary for the novice to understand.
Because of the depth on the design and function of the electric motor, and the electric battery system which of the two most important components on the electric bike itself and what to look for if you decide to buy one.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that is buying their first electric bike, electric moped or even electric scooter because you will be so much better off understanding the basic components and what they do, and in the long with it will save you money.
