No bike can express what it actually feels. Talking bike indicates as and when changes occur in a bike that is unknown to the driver. So here we have attempted to indicate what actually bike feels in the dashboard using LEDs. It is necessary to keep the vehicle in proper condition for effective running, longer life and accident prevention. If the problem in a bike is not sensed well before, then efficient running is not possible. Hence vehicle condition monitoring system through dashboard is implemented which displays the exact condition of the vehicle. Different cheap sensors are developed and attached to different parts of the bike and its condition is indicated by LED in the dashboard. These cheap sensors can able to sense fuel level, Engine oil condition, tire pressure condition, chain tightness and battery condition.

The on road performance of an Electric Vehicle is, to a large extent dependent on the performance of the drive train. The drive train determines how efficiently the energy in batteries is used to meet the driving requirements on road. The importance of efficiency is well known. With a ‘limited’ energy storage availability on board, it is important to see that the conversion of watt hours to kms happens in the most efficient manner. Also, in order to make driving simple and offer the best ‘on road’ convenience to customers, it is necessary to understand driving patterns and preferences of customers. This paper details the optimization of a drive train and development of ‘driving modes’ for an electric vehicle for use in India and Europe.
