22April2025 Mother Earth Day "Our Power, Our Planet": Express your gratitude to Mother Nature and seek her blessings by riding a Solar Assist Bicycle!
Let's pledge to follow 'The Netherlands' Model' (Bicycle and Public Transport Model with Multimodal Streets) and discard the 'USA Model' (Private Car 'American Dream' Model).
The images on the left show the Google Maps* and 'Street View' of two parallel roads namely 21 Beemdstraat and 12 Mahatma Gandhilaan, in Eindhoven, Nederland. While the map shows the two roads having a separate bicycle trail, the street view shows cyclists using the bicycle trail and in numbers larger than automobiles.
*Google Maps offers a 'biking' layer that segregates bicycle routes into four different categories depending on the degree of 'bicycle friendliness'. Solid green lines for paved bicycle trails, solid black lines for dedicated bicycle lanes, dotted green lines for bicycle friendly roads, and dashed green lines for dirt or unpaved bicycle trails. Solid green and solid black line routes are the safest for bicycling. Environmental friendly cities and countries can be identified by measuring the density of such lines. For comparison, we display on our 'bicycle page' the biking layer (courtesy Google) for three different cities: Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Washington DC in the USA, and Gandhinagar in Gujarat, India. Click here to check which one is the most environmentally friendly!

On World Environment Day, Sunday, 5th June 2022, Baroda Electric Meters Limited proudly dedicated its indigenously developed BEM® Savitre 'Solar Bicycles' and 'Solar Tricycles ' to India and to the world. Since then the assembly and roll out of the world's first sustainable human transport vehicle has commenced in its works located at Anand, Gujarat, India.
A new 26" regular or MTB bicycle from a reputed manufacturer of customer's choice retrofitted complete, with the basic configuration consisting of a 250W BLDC Hub Motor, Electronic Motor Controller, Rechargeable Li-ion Polymer 200Wh Battery, 40 W Solar Panel, BEM Savitre Solar MPPT Battery Charge Controller, Head Light, Tail Light cum Brake Light, Horn & other Fittings, and 3 operational modes (Throttle, Pedal Assist, Manual Pedal), is offered for an all inclusive (inc. GST) ex-works price of ₹25,000 (or USD$ 260 or EURO € 240) only at the Factory Store! The price includes the cost of a brand new bicycle and has no extra or hidden costs. Due to local demand, it is currently available only in India.
Solar Bicycles and Tricycles are truly a novel and innovative concept. It is probably the only vehicle developed and commercialised so far that consumes energy generated on its own within the vehicle itself and not imported from external sources. As proud innovators and manufacturers of the solar cycles, we suggest that readers compare it with other vehicles (ICE vehicles or EVs).
Would you buy a new BS6 or EURO6 vehicle with ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) ?
Under the BS6 norm, the limit of pollution has been reduced - while the norm for Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) is reduced to 60mg/km, the Pariculate Matter (PM) has been restricted to 4.5mg/km (Actually the credit goes more to the BS6 fuel that contains less sulphur and NOx). Nevertheless internal combustion engines (ICE) do pollute, and more significantly cause global warming and deplete the planet of its scarce oil resources.
Would you buy a new Electric Car instead?
Our article on Solar Bicycles vs. EVs shows how you would be continuing to use fossil fuel to charge your Electric Vehicle (EV), and thus would be still responsible for pollution (in sharp contrast to the claims made by GEDA).
Are you willing to ride a solar bicycle (max. speed = 30 km/hr) to work?
At just 1% of the cost of an Electric Car, riding a solar cycle represents a shift to a healthy lifestyle.
BEM® Savitre™ MPPT Solar Charge Controllers / Battery Chargers can be simply be attached to Solar Panels placed under the Sun to charge up rechargeable batteries at the fastest possible pace - i.e. in minimum battery charging time. These are 32 bit ARM Cortex microcontroller based chargers with true 'Maximum Power Point Tracking' (MPPT) algorithms that enable it to extract maximum power from a solar panel of a certain capacity (Beware of modules without tracking ability, or simple PWM modules, in the market, labelled as MPPT!) . The MPPT Solar Charge Controllers are particularly useful in remote areas for applications that need battery power far away from the electric grid. Different models can be used for charging Li-Ion Batteries for wide range of applications ranging from E-bikes or E-bicycles to Rechargeable Lanterns & Torches. BEM® Savitre™ MPPT Controllers have been designed with inbuilt protection and controlled operating modes for high reliability, quick charging and longer usage life of the rechargeable batteries.

Recycling is usually number one on the list, but for BEM® , it's the last...
Enter the world of sustainable waste management! Seven actions out of the 8 R's should be taken, if possible, prior to 'recycling': refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, repair, rethink, rot and then recycle. Incorporating this methodology into your waste reduction and recycling efforts minimises landfill waste and takes your recycling program to the next level. Put them into practice at your work or home and reap the benefits.
ZigBee products follow the ZigBee 3.0 standard operating on IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio specification, and consume far less power than Wi-Fi. Hence we offer battery operated sensors for home monitoring and control purposes (such as motion sensors, door/ window sensors, temperature and humidity sensors) based on ZigBee 3.0.
Wi-Fi products based on IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz work well within short range from a Wi-Fi router. But this wireless technology (Wi-Fi) does not suit battery operated sensors, making the smart home product range incomplete.
