It is commonplace to find discussions about various systems comprising electric vehicle architectures; however, material addressing smaller vehicle applications (and e-bikes in particular) tend to be the exception. EV drivetrains entail energy conversion and storage systems that are not entirely unique to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrids. The specific functions involved include battery charging, voltage conversion, battery management, and motor control.
In an e-bike implementation, most of these functions are present except for the battery charger which is often implemented using a separate device that bridges between the power grid and the e-bike. While there are many similarities between the functions of these systems, their specific implementation is quite different and, in some cases, considerably more challenging. This is because an e-bike must offer similar functionality in a safe manner with a high degree of efficiency, while also attaining higher levels of energy density at lower cost.
