With the EVEA company, the electric conversion of a two-wheeled application, such as a motorcycle or bicycle, generally involves replacing the combustion engine with an electric motor and installing a battery to store the electrical energy. Here are the general steps to follow to perform an electric conversion on a two-wheel application: Select base vehicle: Choose the vehicle you want to convert to electric. Make sure the chassis and structure of the vehicle are suitable for the conversion. Power Required Assessment: Determine the electrical power needed for your application. This will depend on the size and weight of the vehicle, as well as the desired speed and range. In general, electric motors for two-wheelers have a power of 1 to 15 kW or more. Choose an electric motor: Select an electric motor of the appropriate size and power for your application. Brushless motors are commonly used for electrical conversions due to their efficiency and durability. Battery: Select a battery suitable for your application. Lithium-ion batteries are most commonly used for electrical conversions due to their high power-to-weight ratio and long lifespan. Make sure the battery capacity is sufficient to meet your battery life needs. Controller: Choose an electronic controller that is suitable for the motor you have selected. The controller regulates the power delivered to the motor based on acceleration, speed, etc. Battery Management System (BMS): Install a BMS to monitor and balance the battery cells, which will extend battery life. Cooling System: A cooling system may be necessary to prevent the battery and motor from overheating. Installation: Install the electric motor, battery, controller and all electrical components into the vehicle. This may require modifications to the chassis or frame.
Wiring: Perform electrical wiring to connect all components safely and functionally.
Testing and adjustments: Test the system to ensure it is working properly. You may need to adjust controller settings to achieve the desired performance.
Approval: Depending on your location and local laws, you may need to homologate the electric conversion for it to be road legal.
Maintenance: Be sure to follow the recommended maintenance procedures for the electric motor, battery and other components.
It is important to note that electrical conversion of a two-wheeled application can be a complex project and requires electrical, mechanical and welding skills. Additionally, be sure to follow all local electric vehicle regulations.
