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RM1是一款经典风格的轻型电动摩托车，专为城市通勤而设计。自2022年4月推出以来，它一直是英国销量第一的电动两轮车（ePTW），既超过了哈雷戴维森和宝马等老牌oem，也超过了牛牛、超级索科和雅迪亚等廉价的中国进口产品。Maeving产品的核心是一个可拆卸电池，它可以从车辆中取出并在标准插座上充电。这减少了里程焦虑，这是电动汽车采用的主要障碍，因为它消除了对充电点的需求。可拆卸电池技术推动中国城市环境中的电动汽车采用率达到80%。Maeving RM1有一个3千瓦的电机，最高时速为45英里。因此，它既不能在高速公路上行驶，也不够强大，无法安全地运载两个人（因此它是单座设计）。缺乏高速公路能力的最高速度使得RM1不适合美国道路，高速公路骑行是必不可少的，而缺乏乘客使它不太可能在欧盟市场取得成功，在那里许多人使用他们的PTW作为他们唯一的车辆，所以经常需要携带乘客。迈芬需要一种新的动力系统来成功地向国际市场扩张。这个动力系统需要为自行车提供动力，使其达到高速公路国家限速（70英里/小时），并且需要足够强大，可以承载两个人。目前的挑战是在可拆卸电池的限制下实现这种性能，这种电池的最大重量需要15公斤。开发这样的动力系统将超越现有技术的极限，而这一开发的最后阶段正是这个项目的重点。2022年4月，Maeving一直在研究动力总成，现在准备通过两种新的演示模型——RM1S和RM2\，将技术从TRL4转移到TRL8。RM1S保持相同的造型和人体工程学的RM1，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系统的能力，避免为了证明其能力而从头开始建造。然后，RM2将采用这种经过验证的动力系统，并将其应用于新的底盘- 2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\.
