Advanced Route To Manufacture Demonstrator of New Powertrain For Removable Battery Electric Motorcycle

Maeving是英国第一家电动摩托车制造商。我们的第一款产品是RM1，是一款古典风格的轻便电动摩托车，专为城市通勤而设计。自2022年4月推出以来，它一直是英国电动两轮车(EPTW)销量最高的汽车，击败了哈雷戴维森(Harley Davidson)和宝马(BMW)等老牌OEM，以及NIU、Super SOCO和YADE等廉价的中国进口产品。Maeving产品的核心是可拆卸电池，可以从车内取出并通过标准插座充电。这减少了里程焦虑，因为它消除了对充电点的需求，这是电动汽车采用的主要障碍。可拆卸电池技术推动中国在城市环境中实现80%的电动汽车普及率。Maeving RM1配备了3kW马达，最高时速45英里。因此，它既不能在高速公路上行驶，也不足以安全地搭载两个人(因此它是单座设计)。缺乏高速公路能力的最高速度使RM1不适合美国道路，在美国高速公路骑行是必不可少的，而缺乏枕头乘客使其在欧盟市场不太可能成功，在欧盟市场，许多人将他们的PTW作为唯一的车辆，因此经常需要搭载乘客。Maeving需要一种新的动力系统来成功地进行国际扩张。这个动力系统需要将自行车驱动到国家高速公路限速(70英里/小时)，并且需要足够的动力来承载两个人。挑战是在可拆卸电池的限制下实现这种性能，可拆卸电池的最大重量需要15公斤。开发一种能够超越现有技术限制的动力总成，正是这个项目的最后开发阶段。Maeving一直在研究2022年4月的动力总成，现在准备通过两个新的演示型号--RM1S和RM2\将技术从TRL4转移到TRL8。RM1S保持了与RM1相同的造型和人体工程学，但取代了动力总成。RM1S将在我们知道人们已经喜欢的产品上证明新动力总成的能力，避免为了证明其能力而进行基础建设。然后，RM2将采用这一成熟的动力总成，并将其应用于新的底盘--双座RM2。

Maeving is Britian's first electric motorcycle manufacturer. Our first product, the RM1, is a classically-styled, lightweight electric motorcycle designed for urban commuting. Since its launch in April 2022, it has been the number one selling electric powered two-wheeler (ePTW) in the UK -- besting both established OEMs like Harley Davidson and BMW, and also cheap Chinese imports like NIU, Super Soco, and Yadea.The core of Maeving's product is a removable battery, which can be taken out of the vehicle and charged at a standard socket. This reduces range anxiety, the major barrier to electric vehicle adoption, as it eliminates the need for charge points. Removable battery technology has propelled China to an 80% EV adoption rate in urban environments.The Maeving RM1 has a 3kW motor with a top speed of 45mph. It is therefore neither highway capable, nor powerful enough to carry two people safely (hence it's single seat design). The lack of highway capable top speed makes the RM1 unsuitable for US roads, where highway riding is essential, whilst the lack of pillion passenger makes it less likely to succeed in the EU market, where many people use their PTW as their only vehicle, and so frequently need to carry a passenger.Maeving needs a new powertrain to successfully expand internationally. This powertrain needs to power the bike to the motorway national speed limit (70mph), and needs to be powerful enough to carry 2 people. The challenge is delivering this performance within the limitations of removable batteries, which need to weigh a maximum of 15kg. Developing a powertrain capable of this pushes past the limits of existing technologies, and it's this final stage of development that is the focus of this project.Maeving has been working on the powertrain April 2022, and is now ready to move the technology from TRL4 to TRL8 through two new demonstrator models -- the RM1S and RM2\. The RM1S maintains the same styling and ergonomics as the RM1, but replaces the powertrain. The RM1S will prove out the capability of the new powertrain on a product we know people already love, avoiding a ground-up build in order to prove its capability. The RM2 will then take this proven powertrain, and apply to it to a new chassis -- the 2-seater RM2\.
