2-in-1 Electric Scooter Motor Drive with Rare Earth Magnet Free Switched Reluctance Motor
FY 2025-26 · 2025-06-02
Summary
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.

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.

Description (French)
Dans le projet proposé, Enedym développera un moteur à réluctance commutée intégré pour un scooter électrique. La technologie de moteur à réluctance commutée d’Enedym ne contient pas de métaux rares. Elle permettra donc de réduire les coûts et d’améliorer la sécurité de la chaîne d’approvisionnement des scooters électriques de nouvelle génération. L’onduleur et le moteur sont intégrés dans le même boîtier. Cela permettra de réduire encore les coûts en éliminant la production et l’assemblage d’un onduleur séparé et en supprimant les câbles haute puissance reliant l’onduleur au moteur. Dans le projet proposé, la géométrie du moteur, les enroulements et le convertisseur de puissance seront conçus pour répondre aux exigences de performance, aux contraintes d’espace, aux objectifs de coût et pour faciliter l’assemblage et la fabrication.
