Abstract - This project introduces the design and development of a budget-friendly yet innovative electric bike (e-bike) tailored to improve user experience while keeping affordability in mind, particularly for the Indian market. With the growing need for sustainable transport solutions, this e-bike incorporates a unique smart suspension system that allows each of its two rear wheels to move independently, enabling a tilt of up to 30 degrees. This feature enhances stability, maneuverability, and comfort, making the bike well-suited for both city commuting and light off-road use.To keep manufacturing costs low, conventional fork shock absorbers have been replaced with spring-based shock absorbers, offering a practical balance between cost-effectiveness and functionality. The bike’s design has also been carefully crafted to ensure it remains visually appealing and competitive in the market. Furthermore, a built-in safety feature mandates that the rider wear a helmet before the bike can be started, encouraging responsible riding habits.

This report explores the technical aspects, design choices, and cost-efficient strategies used in developing this e-bike. By incorporating advanced features while prioritizing rider comfort, the project aims to deliver an e-bike that caters to modern users’ needs while promoting a greener approach to transportation. The insights from this study could also serve as a foundation for future innovations in e-bike technology, especially in emerging markets.
