Say hello to e-bikes powered by reusable lead acid batteries

14 Feb 2023 CW Team

Engineer brothers from the Sitapur district created the Landstar, an electric bike powered by rechargeable lead acid batteries, because they were concerned about the bike's carbon footprint and emissions of greenhouse gases.

Abhishek Verma, Anshul's brother, is a mechanical engineer, while Anshul Verma is a computer science engineer (23).

"The current e-bikes use lithium batteries that can't be used again once they get damaged. Anshul, who has displayed a prototype of his e-bike at the Global Investors Summit, stated, "We have used lead acid batteries in our innovation that are reusable by replacing its electrodes."

For the purpose of producing e-bikes, his company Uttam Industries already has a memorandum of understanding with the UP government. It takes approximately four hours to fully charge the e-bike, which has a range of 80 to 85 km per charge. The e-bike has a top speed of 45 km per hour.

Abhishek stated, "Bikes powered by batteries have demonstrated tremendous promise as an efficient and sustainable mode of transportation." They are not only reasonably priced but also portable. And with reusable batteries, it becomes even more appealing," he stated.

The excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation, which is responsible for a fifth of all carbon emissions worldwide, is primarily to blame for the serious issue of global warming that has a global impact on the environment. As a result, a lot of people who care about the environment are looking for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Costs for routine maintenance, daily fuel, and insurance start to add up quickly as soon as you buy a car. However, these e-bikes enable us to personally combat climate change and reduce the environmental footprint," Anshul stated.
