Abstract : With the advent of global warming and rapid incentivization of electric vehicles being manufactured, research on new and efficient models of the same becomes highly imperative to offer innovative solutions to fundamental issues that limit the market penetration. The current Indian Electric Two-wheeler (E2W) segment utilizes limited motor technologies pertaining to the need of permanent magnets. This work aims to reduce this need by investigating the use of the Asynchronous AC motor as an alternative to magnet motors and experiment with their respective drive system for feasibility of operation. The study proves the hypothesis of a more efficient and cost friendly alternative for an E2W powertrain.

Keywords : Electric Two-Wheeler, Battery Powered Bike, Asynchronous Motor, Electric Powertrain, 3-phase AC Drive.
