Title:

2-in-1 Electric Scooter Motor Drive with Rare Earth Magnet Free Switched Reluctance Motor

Agreement Number:

1032569

Agreement Value:

$300,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 2, 2025 - May 31, 2026

Description:

In the proposed project, Enedym will develop an integrated switched reluctance motor drive for an electric Scooter. Enedym's switched reluctance motor technology doesn’t include rare-earth metals. Hence, it will reduce the cost and improve supply chain security of the next-generation electric scooters. The inverter and motor are integrated into the same housing. This will further reduce the cost by eliminating production and assembly of a separate inverter and by removing high-power cables connecting the inverter to the motor. In the proposed project, the motor geometry, windings and the power converter will be designed to satisfy the performance requirements, space constraints, cost targets, and for ease of assembly and manufacturability.
