Three-Wheeler Electric Energy Saving Vehicle Prototype and Experimental Energy Intensive Research

The three-wheeled vehicle construction and ready prototype are described. The vehicle is equipped with two energy recovery systems: one based on lithium-ion battery and electrical engine while the other one is applied with the spring mechanisms to accumulate energy. Both systems are combined together by an energy managing system based on a microcontroller. The construction serves as a testing and developing platform for energy save and recovery systems. At the end of the paper conveyed studies involving the vehicle range and efficiency are described and discussed.
