Abstract

This research presents the design and fabrication of a solar-powered smart hoverboard, developed as an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for urban personal mobility. Addressing the limitations of grid-dependent electric vehicles, the system integrates a high-efficiency 25W solar panel with a 12V-24V lithium-ion battery bank. This setup utilizes solar "trickle-charging" to ensure energy independence and a reduced carbon footprint. To enhance stability and reduce manufacturing costs, the traditional gyroscope-based balancing system is replaced with a four-wheel mechanical configuration, featuring two primary drive wheels and two pillar-type rubber castor wheels. Propulsion is delivered by dual 18V DC geared motors controlled via DPDT switches for bi-directional movement and a speed governor for precise regulation. Technical analysis and experimental testing confirm a top speed of 25 kmph and a range of 30 km under a maximum laden weight of 80 kg. The result is a low-cost, zero-emission personal transporter that contributes to the development of smart and sustainable cities.
