This research is an investigation into the development of an ideal drive cycle and power requirements for electric cycles on the Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology Campus in Patiala, Punjab, India. The study explains the fundamental need for cost-effective, environmentally accountable transportation modes in educational campuses. The research introduces a representative drive cycle that is modified to reflect campus conditions developed based on three months of data collection, to simulate and describe energy use and efficiency of electric cycles. This study adds to the state-of-the-art for the implementation of electric vehicles specifically in educational campuses by defining the ideal power train and battery capacity necessary to operate an electric cycle effectively.
