Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) are becoming increasingly commonplace in cities across the world due to their potential to address a range of issues plaguing urban transport: road congestion, air pollution, noise, and over crowded public transport. Electric scooters represent a promising variant of this sector, because they offer superior portability when compared to bikes and do not require physical exertion. Covid-19 has further enhanced the benefits of owning an electric scooter by reducing the load on public transport and eliminating the risk of cross contamination from shared use vehiclesUntil recently, most people's access to e-scooters has been through sharing schemes. However, as with bikes and other small vehicles, personal ownership is likely to become an important transport option.Taur Technologies is developing a stand-on electric scooter for ownership that is engineered to meet the daily transportation needs of people living or working in cities, in terms of road-worthiness, safety and portability.This project is focused on developing the integrated control systems required to bring innovation to the ownership of personal electric scooters by addressing the following distinct areas:* Control systems: Taur is developing a fully integrated control system and this project supports the development of the key modules and connectivity required to create a safe and reliable electric scooter.* Portability: When considering the potential for the mass adoption of e-scooters, the ability to integrate them with public transport is vital. Taur is developing patent-pending systems to significantly improve the portability and storage characteristics of e-scooters.* Connectivity: Taur is investigating the remote management of battery performance, to substantially increase the lifetime of battery systems, by utilising low-cost communications. Furthermore, adding a security layer will help prevent the increasingly commonplace theft of personal vehicles.

个人轻型电动汽车（PLEV）在世界各地的城市中越来越普遍，因为它们有可能解决城市交通的一系列问题：道路拥堵，空气污染，噪音和过度拥挤的公共交通。电动滑板车代表了这一领域的一个有前途的变体，因为与自行车相比，它们具有上级便携性，并且不需要体力消耗。2019冠状病毒病进一步增强了拥有电动滑板车的好处，减少了公共交通的负荷，消除了共享车辆交叉污染的风险。直到最近，大多数人都是通过共享计划获得电动滑板车的。然而，与自行车和其他小型车辆一样，个人所有权可能会成为一种重要的交通选择。Taur Technologies正在开发一种独立的电动踏板车，旨在满足在城市生活或工作的人们的日常交通需求，在道路价值方面，安全性和便携性。该项目的重点是开发集成控制系统，通过以下方式为个人电动滑板车的所有权带来创新控制系统：Taur正在开发一个完全集成的控制系统，该项目支持开发安全可靠的电动滑板车所需的关键模块和连接。便携性：在考虑电动滑板车大规模采用的潜力时，将其与公共交通整合的能力至关重要。Taur正在开发正在申请专利的系统，以显著改善电动滑板车的便携性和存储特性。连通性：Taur正在研究电池性能的远程管理，通过利用低成本通信来大幅延长电池系统的使用寿命。此外，增加安全层将有助于防止日益普遍的个人车辆盗窃。
