Abstract

This research aims to produce a speed and battery remaining monitor for electric bicycles based on Arduino Mega 2560, which contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth. The method used is Research and Development. The initial stage includes research and literature review to design a specific product. The next stage involves development, effectiveness testing, and design validation, resulting in a tested product ready for widespread use. The test results show that the device is capable of providing accurate speed readings, with an average difference of 3.76% compared to GPS and 1.88% compared to speedometer Cat eye. The current sensor has an average error of 2.56%. The battery capacity readings yield an average error of 1.03% compared to calculations and 0.61% compared to the voltmeter. The distance estimation based on battery capacity shows an average difference of 3.37% compared to calculations and 3.84% compared to speedometer Cat eye. This accuracy demonstrates the effectiveness of the device in monitoring speed, battery capacity, current usage, and distance traveled. This innovation helps improve how energy is used and makes electric bicycles more reliable, better use of resources, and creating business opportunities and good jobs in the growing green transportation industry.
