It was a ground breaking innovation at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba -Akoko as students convert combustion engine motorcycle to electric.

In a bid to contribute to the fight against air pollution, and promote environmental sustainability, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Physics and electronics Students took it upon themselves to convert a traditional petrol motor bike to an electrical bike as the final year project.

A team of students from the Department of Physics and Electronics have achieved an impressive feat, successfully converting a combustion engine motorcycle to an electric one as part of their undergraduate research project.

The team transformed a Bajaj bike into an eco-friendly electric vehicle, capable of traveling 80-100 km on a single charge while significantly reducing noise pollution.

Driven by the need to combat climate change and Nigeria’s soaring fuel costs, these visionary students explored battery-powered technology as a sustainable alternative.

The project was successfully executed by a dedicated team including Abdulazeez Uthman Alabi, Adejoro Glory Isaac, Odetokun Opeyemi oluwatosin, Adejunmobi David Ademola, Aladesanmi Emmanuel, Olaniyi Eniola, under the supervision of Dr. Mrs. T.Y Ojebisi, whose guidance was instrumental in converting the petrol-powered bike into an electric rechargeable bike.

Their project defense was met with resounding success, showcasing Adekunle Ajasin University’s commitment to fostering 21st-century innovation and nurturing exceptional talent.

Their project has not only showcased the technical prowess of AAUA students but also shone a spotlight on the possibilities of sustainable, clean energy. This conversion isn’t just a cool feat; it’s a bold step towards transforming Nigeria’s dependence on petrol and a response to global calls for a green energy transition.

The AAUA students’ electric bike conversion marks a significant step forward in Nigeria’s pursuit of sustainable energy solutions. Their project shows the power of homegrown innovation and serves as an example of what can be achieved with dedication and vision.
