Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Manufactures Economical Electric Bicycles
“In our company, we succeeded in designing and manufacturing electric bicycles, and the cost of these electric bicycles is much lower than the foreign models,” Rahim Qor’ani, one of the founders of the knowledge-based company and a graduate of Sharif University of Technology, told ANA.
He added that the electric bicycles designed and mass-produced by the graduates of Sharif University of Technology are fully home-made.
“These bicycles are able to move on the steep slopes of Tehran and enjoy the capability to pave a distance of 40 kilometers at a speed of 35 to 55 kilometers per hour with a charge of 3 to 5 hours (depending on the model),” Qor’ani said.
In a relevant development early this year, technologists of University of Tehran had also succeeded in designing and building a smart e-bike advisor system that intelligently manages the user's energy consumption in electric and stationary bikes.
“An advisor system has been added to the electric bike which can guide the user how much pedaling intensity is better to divide the energy by collecting data from various sensors,” said Hamed Kebriayee, a faculty member of Electrical and Computer Department of the University of Tehran.
“We have made it operational with sensors whose data is collected online with the help of an intelligent algorithm while the bicycle is moving,” he added.
Noting that the system measures a set of sensor data, including environmental parameters like temperature and humidity, road slope, battery charge percentage and the condition of the cyclist, like blood oxygen level and heart rate, Kebriayee said that the information is collected in a board and then transferred to the processor board through wi-fi.”
“The advisor system recommends an optimal program suitable for each person for daily use based on the data analyzer installed on the bicycle and the doctor's or sports coach's program,” he explained.
