Abstract
This work implements an electronic converter to supply an electric vehicle powered by two distinct power supplies, a battery and supercapacitors. A solution for the implementation of the electronic converter in the electric vehicle (in this case a bicycle) is developed. The control system of the electronic converter is built regarding the vehicle´s optimal functioning and to increase its autonomy. Based on the implemented system, experimental results are shown and the advantages and disadvantages of this solution are analyzed.
