The vehicles on road are increasing with rapid rate which is good by transportation perspective and hence the growing need of oil-based fuel making transportation costly as the price of oil based fuel rising too. The quantity of oil-based fuel remains unchecked and the exhaust from oil-based fuel brings environmental problems like ‘‘green house effect’’, health issues for the operating environment. The electric vehicles is a good option for moving away with problems related to the oil-based fuel lot of researches is going on in world and money is being spent on the development of the electric vehicles. The problem related with electric vehicles are electric vehicles have low speed, having low load carrying capacity, and batteries having short life. The main aim of this research paper is to give an idea about fabrication of simple, cost effective electric motorcycle which can be done by replacing internal combustion engine and other components with brush less direct current gear motor, controller and lithium-ion battery. This electric motorcycle uses 48V 750w brushless direct current gear motor to propel the vehicle, lithium-ion battery as power source the brushless direct current motor. The 48v 750w brushless direct current gear motor have high load carrying capacity with acceptable speed and lithium-ion battery have more life than other batteries available in market such as lead acid battery. The lithium-ion battery has less weight, quick charge property, required less storage space compare to other batteries available in market.
