This paper is based on the future needs of one normal being. A shift away from conventionally-fuelled land transportation vehicles towards greater use of renewable energy fuel sources is needed to manage increasing vehicle usage and associated adverse environmental and human health impacts. Power assisted electric bicycles (PAEBs) provide a means to reduce vehicle emissions within urban areas was first stated by Graham S. Aikenhead [1]. The paper is to represent the improvement of 50% in efficiency of e-bike with hub motor incorporated in the rear wheel for producing the initial torque required to set the vehicle from rest to motion and main motor incorporated along with the chain drive for further power transmission which will eventually lead improvement that would be visible in the final model.
