Abstract :
In this paper, the design of a full electrical system for an electrical scooter is presented. The paper explains the design choices that have been made to satisfy the typical main requirements for an electrical vehicle. According to them, an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor has been incorporated in a drive able to control the motor both in the constant-torque (constant-flux) and in the constant-volt-ampere (flux-weakening) regions. Experimental results carried out on a system prototype are also included in the paper
