There is a new technology being implemented in hybrid cars to help you relax a bit, to get to the petrol station
“Development of a Fuel Saving Start and Stop System for two wheelers”
Project Title ;
Why for two wheelers, you may be asking?
Three main reasons
Don't always have room
They use Petrol
Produce CO2
How is it going to work
Switch
Speed sensor
ECU (microcontroller)
Throttle sensor
- Position sensor
- Gyroscope Sensors

Drawbacks
Budget of $200
Not having an electric start
Being manual
Not being roadworthy
