Abstract: A hybrid electric bicycle with a regenerative braking system provides eco-friendly transportation while enhancing energy efficiency. The bicycle integrates an electric motor with pedal-assist functionality to support rider effort. During braking, the regenerative system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, recharging the onboard battery. Embedded sensors monitor speed, pedal input, and braking force to optimize energy recovery. A microcontroller processes sensor data to balance motor assistance and battery charging. Wireless connectivity allows real-time tracking of battery status, distance, and ride statistics via mobile applications. Safety features, including automatic motor cutoff and brake monitoring, ensure secure operation. The compact, lightweight design supports urban commuting and off-road use. Continuous monitoring of battery performance prolongs lifespan and efficiency. Automated alerts notify users of low battery, maintenance needs, or system errors. The system reduces energy consumption and extends ride range. Data logging supports performance analysis and route optimization. This intelligent hybrid electric bicycle provides a sustainable, efficient, and user-friendly solution for modem mobility.
