The bicycle invention had an enormous effect on society in the culture and advancing modern industrial method. But a today there is decrease in use of bicycle because the main drawback of conventional bicycles is that more efforts are needed while travelling and energy used by bicycle is more. To minimizing this problem we using kinetic energy recovery system by designing the flywheel for recovering the moving bicycle energy to convert the loss in kinetic energy into gain in kinetic energy to bicycle. When riding a bicycle large amount of kinetic energy is lost while breaking. To use this energy we useflywheel to store the energy which is lost during breaking and reuse it to helps rider at starting the bicycle. By using the flywheel which is more suitable to the frame properties to store energy and rider compatibility the efforts of the rider can be minimize. The rider can charge the flywheel during downward motion on slope area and boost the bicycle. These project primary dealswith one of the method for kinetic energy recovery from the Flywheel which is develop in a bicycle. The flywheel increases maximum acceleration and nets 15% pedal energy savings during a ride.
