Abstract :
This paper presents the development of E-scooter in large urban areas and industrial areas. The proposed prototype is propelled by two BLDC motors placed on the rear wheels and a 48V lead-acid battery for propulsion energy. A control scheme is based on the low-cost processor and provides the cost effective using hall position sensors alternative to traditional encoders and resolvers. Experimental results will show that the proposed E-scooter can improve the drive efficiency as well as the performance of the variable commercial satisfaction.
