Abstract :
Autoped is a transportation media that can be
used to transport a person or an object from one place to
another. In addition to its slim size, another strength of
autoped is that it can be used everywhere. However, its
weakness is that it is not equipped with a device to operate
the vehicle. It is operated only by pushing it forward using
the power of foot and not by using pedal or machine as
other conventional vehicle. Based on these facts, the
researchers attempt to innovate using Solar Panel to
charge the battery. The installation of 20 Wp solar panel
can generate maximum voltage of 19.5 Volts during sunny
weather. The process of battery charging requires 4.135
hours for a 12V battery with the capacity of 12 Ah.
Therefore, the electricity consumption can be minimized
especially during the charging process. This Electric
Autoped can be utilized as a transportation replacement
for short distant transportation and to replace the fossil
fuel energy.
