Abstract

The Electric Vehicle Organization (EVO) at the University of New Hampshire has embarked on an innovative project to convert a traditional moped into an electric version. This initiative aims to make electric transportation more accessible to students and stimulate interest in electric vehicle technology through hands-on project involvement. The converted electric moped is equipped with a 6kW 170 kV motor and a 48V 30Ah battery, allowing for a maximum speed of 47 mph, which is limited to 30 mph for safety. It boasts a range of approximately 50 miles per charge. Advanced technologies such as programmable LED light strips for turn signals, Arduino controllers, and LiDAR scanning for precise fabrication of frame mounts have been employed to ensure both the functionality and safety of the vehicle. This project not only provides a practical solution for campus mobility but also enhances engineering education by involving students in the intricacies of vehicle conversion and sustainable technology.
