NITK Designs Forest E-Bike For Kudremukh National Park: Amazing Innovation
The National Institute of Technology-Karnataka (NIT-K), Surathkal, has designed and developed an e-bike for commuting in forests and which is eco-friendly in its true sense. The unique feature of this bike is that its battery can be charged using solar power and it has a removable headlight which doubles up as a torch for using during night surveillance. Its electric motor is typically silent. This is an added advantage in the forest since the wildlife will remain undisturbed and also it will help in capturing poachers without giving them a chance to flee. Its front utility box can be used to keep all the work accessories of forest officials like walkie-talkie, books etc. Charging docks are provided to charge the walkie-talkie and mobile phones. The rear pannier box can be used to store additional accessories. There is also a provision to carry water and food into anti-poaching camps or watch-towers in deep forest areas. Once fully charged, it can cover up to 75 km on rough terrains.
Mr. Pruthviraj, the Assistant Professor at the Department of Water Resources and Ocean Engineering a the NIT-K, said the bike has been developed to use in Kudremukh National Park area keeping in mind the requirement of forest officials managing the park area. The bike has been developed to empower forest officials with e-mobility to commute around the forest region during the protection. The bike ‘VidhYug 4.0’ is powered by BLDC motor. It is powered by 2.0 kw, 72 volts, 33 AH lithium-ion battery.
The solar charging setup includes two 400 watt mono crystalline solar panels and 1.5 kw UPS unit for charging the battery.
