A review on development of powertrain for e-scooter using continuous variable transmission.

The shift toward electrifying urban transportation is rapidly gaining traction as a sustainable approach to address environmental issues and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. E-scooters have risen in prominence as a favored means of electric transportation, presenting a clean and effective substitute for short-range commuting. This abstract outline the key aspects of the development of a powertrain system for e-scooters employing Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) technology. The use of CVT in e-scooters addresses several critical challenges associated with conventional fixed-gear transmissions. CVTs provide a continuously adjustable gear ratio, optimizing power delivery across a wide range of speeds and load conditions. This results in improved acceleration, energy efficiency, and overall performance of e-scooters. Furthermore, CVTs can be tailored to the specific power and torque characteristics of electric motors, enhancing their compatibility with varying urban traffic conditions. This research explores the design, development, and integration of a CVT-based powertrain into an e-scooter platform. It encompasses the selection of appropriate CVT components, such as pulleys and belts, and their integration with an electric motor and battery system. Additionally, the control strategy for managing the CVT system is investigated to ensure seamless and efficient operation. The benefits of incorporating CVT technology into e-scooters include enhanced rider experience, improved energy efficiency, and reduced wear and tear on the drivetrain components. The adaptability of CVTs to varying terrains and rider preferences further enhances the versatility of e-scooters, making them a viable option for urban mobility. In conclusion, the development of a powertrain for e-scooters using CVT technology represents a significant advancement in the field of electric mobility. This research contributes to the evolution of cleaner and more efficient transportation options, aligning with global sustainability goals and addressing the challenges of urban congestion and pollution.
