E-Bike Hub Motor Controller and Range Test

Approx. component budget: Rs. 10,000 - 15,000

Objective

Measure energy use and range of a small electric vehicle on a test route.

What you will build

A hub motor with a controller, battery pack and throttle on a bicycle or test stand, with data logging of speed, current and energy per km.

Results you can expect

• Wh per km at 3 speeds
• Range estimate
• Motor and controller temperature rise
• And the effect of pedal assist or load

What you will learn

EV energy use, motor controllers, battery sizing and road testing.

Tools and notes

Hub motor kit, 36 V pack with BMS, controller, ESP32 logger, GPS. Wear a helmet, fit a fuse near the battery and test only in a safe, closed area.

Resume points from this project

• Built and tested E-Bike Hub Motor Controller and Range Test; objective: measure energy use and range of a small electric vehicle on a test route.
• Measured and analysed wh per km at 3 speeds and range estimate; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].

Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
