Future of Transportation is Solar-Powered

Asad Abdullah, a 22-year-old Indian entrepreneur from Uttar Pradesh, has demonstrated the future of environmental security with his new solar-powered electronic bike. Abdullah claims that he made the bike from scraps with his KTM bike. 

What is the Solar Powered E-Bike? 

Abdullah recently posted a video on his Instagram account (@asadabdullah62), showcasing the e-bike. The video shows a seven-seater e-bike, one for the driver and six passengers. What makes it stand out even more is the solar panel canopy over the heads of the people in the vehicle. It charges the e-bike while also providing shade for people in the vehicle. It looks comfortable to drive and ride in, all the while being completely safe for the environment. 

Abdullah has estimated an amount of ₹8000 to ₹10,000 for its creation, a fairly affordable and convenient vehicle. His invention can also top 125km/hr and covers at least 130km on a single charge. It has impressed people like the current chairman of RPG Enterprises, Harsh Goenka. (Link)

How Have E-Vehicles Improved Climate and Economic Conditions? 

It’s not new that the climate crisis is getting worse day-by-day and actions need to be taken. One of the largest contributors to climate change is vehicular emissions. Not only is the danger level rising but also prices have become pretty much unreasonable. Due to the urgency of finding a solution, electric vehicles have become popular around the world. They have played a major role in improving traffic conditions and reducing carbon emissions. 

Another unspoken advantage is how much quieter electric vehicles are and Abdullah’s e-bike is not only great for the environment but also protects their riders from the sun with its convenient canopy. Noise pollution greatly impacts people’s health, and the increase in electric vehicles tackles this directly. The quieter, the better! Abdullah’s e-bike is also much more affordable than gas-powered vehicles. He decided to tinker with his original bike after spending nearly ₹6000 per month on fuel alone and wanted a more economical alternative. 

Learning DIY Tech Yourself

Abdullah’s passion for inventing and DIYing knows no bounds. His YouTube channel, Homemade Creative, has a range of products that he has modified himself. The best part about his channel is its informative nature. His description box has all the gear you need to make these products yourself. More importantly, he has a website dedicated to teaching you how to make your own electronic bike. This is incredibly helpful and only costs ₹599 and is guided by him. He also does reviews of the best accessible technology. 

Electric Motorcycles: From Creed To Speed

Electric vehicles have firmly established themselves as the imminent future, and while the world is adapting to them, manufacturers are already racing to be the best in the lot. While some are yet to find the recipe for success, others have created true masterpieces. Be it the fastest electric motorcycle or the most luxurious one; we can safely say that the electric future is indeed upon us.

Consider The Arc Vector. From its thoughtful, trendy neo-cafe racer design to the innovative tech it offers, something is awe-inspiring about this premium motorbike for everyone. Powered by a Samsung battery, the Arc Vector can accelerate from 0-60mph (0-100kph) in less than three seconds, and it has a top speed of 125 mph (over 200 kmph). If these figures aren’t impressive enough, it also has a 436km range and a 40-minute charge time! Who said suavity isn’t sustainable? Also, fans of matching accessories will love the Arc Vector even more, as the electric motorcycle comes with its stylish jacket (which is also tech-laden) as well as a sturdy helmet.

The Vector features patented front-end geometry, carbon fibre swingarms, custom Öhlins dampers and Brembo Stylema brake system. Arc’s philosophy has manifested itself in its first product, the Vector – replacing the traditional chassis with the battery facilitates its range and performance figures.

Lovers of classic motorcycles will appreciate that, while the Arc Vector has neither clutch nor gears, it does have variable power modes and cruise control that owners can manipulate. It has a sophisticated chassis and impressive shocks, making this bike a pleasure to ride. 

Then there is the Lightning LS-218. A machine built specifically for speed, the e-bike has a top speed of 215 mph (346 kmph). It can also accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-100 kmph) in 2.2 seconds. Since 2011, this bike has been breaking speed records set by all-electric motorcycles. The Lightning SuperBike became the world’s fastest production electric motorcycle with the SCTA official World Record of 215.960 mph and a best-timed run of 218.637 mph at Bonneville during Speedweek August.

Although these manufacturers are yet to be placed in the same league as the mainstream giants of the automotive industry, there can be no doubt that these are tough competitors who will give the big names a run for their money. When electric vehicles become a common sight, these companies are expected to the forerunners in the luxury segment.
