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RM 1是一款古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）-击败了哈雷戴维森和宝马等老牌OEM厂商，以及NIU，Super Soco和Yadea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。蓄电池技术推动中国城市环境中80%的电动汽车采用率。Maeving RM 1有一个3千瓦的电机，最高时速为45英里。因此，它既不是高速公路的能力，也没有足够的强大，以进行两个人安全（因此，它的单座设计）。由于RM 1无法在高速公路上行驶，因此不适合在美国公路上行驶，因为在美国公路上行驶是必不可少的，而由于没有后座乘客，RM 1在欧盟市场上不太可能成功，因为许多人将PTW作为他们唯一的车辆，并且经常需要搭载乘客。Maeving需要一个新的动力系统才能成功地在国际上扩张。这个动力系统需要为自行车提供动力，以达到高速公路的国家限速（70英里/小时），并且需要足够强大，以承载2人。挑战是在可拆卸电池的限制下提供这种性能，电池最大重量为15公斤。开发能够实现这一目标的动力系统突破了现有技术的极限，而这一开发的最后阶段正是该项目的重点。Maeving一直致力于2022年4月的动力系统开发，现在准备通过两款新的演示模型-RM 1 S和RM 2\将该技术从TRL 4转移到TRL 8。RM 1 S保持了与RM 1相同的造型和人体工程学，但更换了动力系统。RM 1 S将证明新动力系统在我们知道人们已经喜欢的产品上的能力，避免了为了证明其能力而进行的基础构建。RM 2将采用这种经过验证的动力系统，并将其应用于新的底盘-双座RM 2\。

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\.
