Abstract
This paper propose a novel design of a lightweight electric trike vehicle which is a low speed stainless steel flywheel energy storage (FES) , Proton Exchange membrane fuelcell (PEMFC) and a lithium battery pack as multiple power source are combined . For the design, 48 Volt, 500 Watt BLDC electric motor, base on hall sensor throttle and controller been used. The Hydrogen use has 99,99% purity, variety of H2 pressure from 10-35 psi used. The prototype trike has been built, tested on a dynamometer, and analyzed. The test result shown that the designated flywheel can improve the performance of the vehicle as well as to optimize fuellcell to supply power traction, and longer journey.
