Abstract
Environmental protection and energy conservation have become primary concerns in the 21st century, prompting accelerated efforts to plan and develop electric vehicle (EV) technology. EVs offer numerous advantages, including zero emissions, the establishment of a new automobile industry, economic development, and the creation of efficient and smart transportation systems. This project introduces a foot-controlled steering system designed to enhance vehicle control, making it suitable for various road conditions and reducing the rider’s effort in driving the skateboard. Presently, permanent magnet brushless direct current (PM BLDC) motors are the preferred choice for automobile industries and researchers due to their high-power density, compact size, reliability, noise-free operation, and minimal maintenance requirements. The initial phases of this project involve designing the vehicle using computer-aided design (CAD) and CRE-O, as well as conducting simulation models and equipment and cost analyses. The electrical hub motor drive and skateboard assembly, as well as processor architecture, are all part of the manufacturing procedure. The final stage aims to enhance the e-board’s design for offroad conditions and adapt it for use by physically challenged individuals. The project’s objectives include improving the skateboard’s performance on off-road terrain by incorporating a centralized electric wheel and reducing the effort required to traverse uphill areas. Additionally, the design incorporates foot steering to enhance the skateboard’s steering sensitivity. This project aims to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources by leveraging the latest technology. Implementation involves developing an E-board capable of running on battery power as well as manual propulsion.
