As electric scooters and bicycles are gaining attention as a means of transportation and the electric two-wheeled vehicle market is growing, Microchip Technology (Microchip, Asia General Manager and Korea Representative Byung-Don Han) is providing an innovative solution to shorten the development time of electric two-wheeled vehicles, optimize power efficiency, and enhance safety.

Microchip recently announced its electric two-wheeler (E2W) ecosystem.

This solution is a comprehensive family of reference designs designed to address challenges including power efficiency, safety, system integration, and time-to-market, enabling manufacturers to develop reliable electric scooters and bicycles more quickly.

Microchip offers flexible platforms that can meet a variety of power levels and functional requirements, and showcases optimized solutions in power management, battery efficiency, motor control and more.

In particular, advanced battery management systems and high-efficiency power conversion technologies contribute to extending battery life and increasing vehicle driving range, while significantly enhancing safety.

Additionally, charging solutions that take ease of use into account and high-performance traction motor control technology are also key features of this ecosystem.

The 7.4kW AC charger is suitable for home charging, and the USB-PD dual charging ports support charging mobile devices.

Motor control technology supporting from 350W to 10kW provides smooth accelerationIt provides energy efficiency and simplifies system development, shortening time to market.

Also noteworthy is the user experience, which emphasizes intelligent touch display and connectivity.

Microchip's LCD instrument clusters and touchscreen controllers enable real-time data visualization and precise operation in extreme environments.

Cloud-based remote diagnostics and performance tracking capabilities also enable optimized rider experience and vehicle operations.

“Microchip’s electric two-wheeler ecosystem is expected to accelerate product development and improve reliability by solving design challenges with pre-validated, high-performance solutions,” said Joe Thompson, vice president of Microchip’s dsPIC business unit.
