With final year projects making the
waves in Unizik, UNIZIKMATA
presents to you another Team of
Zikites that has assembled in same
line of creativity to produce a made
in Nigeria ELECTRIC POWER BIKE
which they have named EBS ONE.

This team of Mechanical Engineering
Students comprises of ONYEBUCHI
CHINONSO, OVOKE PAUL, CHIKA PAUL,
UDORA EDISON, NWAFOR PAULING ,
and from the department of
Electrical Engineering VICTOR IKEH
TOCHUKWU .

The project(EBS ONE) has to do with
having an electrical system in place
of internal combustion engine of a
motorcycle.

This electrical system comprises
mainly of; the batteries, a DC motor,
the gear system, and an inverter.

The batteries power the motor which
in turn moves the gear to bring
about the movement of the rear
wheel. i.e batteries>motor>gear>rear
wheel.

The idea of this project is to reduce
the dependence on fuel for
motorcycles and reduce ozone layer
depletion by carbon compounds due
to combustion of fuels.

They fabricated their own Chasis
(skeleton). It has the shape of a
modern day powerbike.

They also made use of Solidworks
application,Autodesk Inventor and
Matlab for different
simulations.Everything involving the
project was done in the school’s
workshop.

The power system comprises of a
12Volts 6Amps battery, an electric
motor and some other materials
which were gotten.

Indeed, Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Awka is really producing qualified
and competitive engineers.
