Nowadays, one of the main problem in society is the high demand in electricity. With this problem scarcity is inevitable. In addition, due to its escalting demand, its cost also increases. Thus, multiple studies regarding the alternative sources of electricity is conducted. In this research study, the proponents focuses on converting mechanical vibration into electricity with the use of a piezoelectric material. A piezoelectric material is considered an electro elastic material that exhibits electromechanical coupling and becomes electrically polarized when subjected to mechanical load. Additionall, cycling is incorporated as a mode of producing mechanical vibrations that is needed by the piezoelectric material to produce  electricity. The produced electrical energy is intended to power up the Arduino-Based RTVG, a bicycle safety device.

After conducting multiple trial and evaluation, this study gathered insightful outcome. Based on the voltage produce PIEZCYCLE garnered an average voltage of 3.49 V, 3.85 V and 0.95 V respectively in the 3 trials, which makes the device effective in powering the RTVG. According to the results, in terms of its significant relationship, the produced voltage is unaffected by the number of piezoelectric materials, life span and distance covered. Moreover PIEZCYLE is also classified as a Highly Acceptable device in terms of Functionality, Durability and Ease of Use. Meanwhile, based on the findings, this study in introduces an idea of a new renewable source.
