Abstract: Autoped is a transportation media that can be used to transport a person or an object from one place to another. In addition to its slim size, another strength of autoped is that it can be used everywhere. However, its weakness is that it is not equipped with a device to operate the vehicle. It is operated only by pushing it forward using the power of foot and not by using pedal or machine as other conventional vehicle. Based on these facts, the researchers attempt to innovate using Solar Panel to charge the battery. The installation of 20 Wp solar panel can generate maximum voltage of 19.5 Volts during sunny weather. The process of battery charging requires 4.135 hours for a 12V battery with the capacity of 12 Ah. Therefore, the electricity consumption can be minimized especially during the charging process. This Electric Autoped can be utilized as a transportation replacement for short distant transportation and to replace the fossil fuel energy.
