The market for electric two-wheelers is transforming the transportation industry, as users are not only riding e-scooters and pedelecs in their leisure time but also using them for their daily commute to work. Microchip introduces its E2W ecosystem, a comprehensive package of pre-validated reference designs that address challenges in the development of e-scooters/bikes, including energy efficiency, system integration, safety, and time to market. By offering scalable solutions of automotive quality, the semiconductor manufacturer enables optimization of development.

Scalable platform

The automotive-grade components and modular reference designs offer a flexible, scalable platform that can be adapted to various power levels and functional requirements. Supported by design files, schematics, bills of materials, and global technical support, new e-scooters or electric bikes with optimized performance, safety, and intelligence can be quickly brought to market.

Battery efficiency

The battery management system (BMS) with intelligent power conversion and sensing maximizes energy utilization to extend the battery life and range of the vehicle and increase safety. The 48-to-12 V power conversion reference design ensures highly efficient power distribution and enhances the overall reliability of the system.

Fast charging solutions

The 7.4 kW reference design for 1-phase AC chargers for e-vehicles provides reliable home charging with integrated protection features. Additionally, the USB-PD dual charging port is designed for fast, flexible charging of mobile devices to enhance user convenience.

Traction motor control

The 350 W to 10 kW reference designs for traction motor controls ensure smooth acceleration, improved energy efficiency, and precise control. Pre-integrated firmware and modular design simplify system development and shorten time-to-market.

System integration and intelligent vehicle control

Vehicle control, keyless entry, hands-on/off detection, and acoustic vehicle alert system work together to enhance the safety of the electric two-wheeler. Integrated telematics and asset tracking provide real-time monitoring, theft protection, and fleet management features.

Smart display and connected user experience

The E2W features a round 720x720 LCD instrument cluster with Microchip's SAM9X75 MPU with MIPI DSI, Dual-GbE, and NAND Flash for real-time data visualization and intelligent data connectivity. The maXTouch ATMXT640UD and ATMXT641TD touchscreen controllers provide precise touch functionality in extreme weather conditions, rain, and with thick gloves. Thanks to cloud-enabled remote diagnostics and performance monitoring, the driving experience and fleet operation can be improved.
