Abstract

Electric bicycles (e-bikes) have rapidly emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional modes of transportation. This study reviews the evolution, technological advancements, and environmental benefits of e-bikes through comparative data analysis, survey results, and case studies. The findings demonstrate that the developments in lithium-ion batteries, lightweight materials, and smart motor systems have significantly improved e-bike performance, efficiency, and affordability. From an environmental perspective, e-bikes can cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% compared to cars, while simultaneously improving urban air quality and reducing overall pollution levels. Survey responses indicate that e-bike users often substitute short car trips, promoting sustainable commuting behaviors and supporting public health. Despite these benefits, challenges persist regarding insufficient infrastructure, inconsistent policy support, and limited battery recycling programs. In summary, e-bikes constitute a transformative element in sustainable urban mobility and climate change mitigation. Beyond policy reforms, future work should prioritize renewable-powered charging systems and circular battery utilization models to ensure e-bikes contribute to a more resilient and environmentally friendly transportation ecosystem.

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional internal combustion engines, with battery technology playing a pivotal role in their success. Key factors like energy density, power output, charging speed, durability, cost, safety, and environmental impact hinge on the choice of battery. Various technologies in lithium-ion batteries are assessed for their suitability in EVs. The right battery is essential for optimal performance, extended range, and sustainability. This paper offers an in-depth look at battery selection in EVs, examining different types in lithium-ion and their pros and cons. Additionally, it explores into three prominent decision-making methods: fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), and preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation-II (PROMETHEE II). FAHP ranks batteries based on their relevance to specific EV requirements, while EDAS and PROMETHEE II provide a multi-criteria framework. These methods offer valuable insights into choosing the most suitable lithium-ion battery for EVs. The study underscores the importance of meticulous battery selection and highlights the efficacy of decision-making approaches like FAHP, EDAS, and PROMETHEE II. As battery tech advances, future research on alternatives like solid-state and sodium-ion batteries could revolutionize the EV industry.
