Abstract - The BS-VI standard is now used in new vehicles. Because existing two - wheeler emissions are more harmful than BS-VI, top brand scooters such as Activa, Jupiter, and Accesses will be developed under these standards. The government is promoting electric scooters in order to reduce ICE-based vehicle emissions. The advantage of an electric scooter is that it emits no harmful emissions and has a high torque at low speeds. However, converting ICE-powered vehicles to pure electric vehicles incurs higher production costs. As a result, in our project work, we chose an existing ICE-powered Activa scooter to convert to electric. To take the benefits of a hybrid power source, two power sources are used for vehicle propulsion in series and Series Hybrid electric scooter is developed.

Key Words: ICE powered scooter, EV conversion kit, Series Hybrid electric scooter
