This report represents 20 ECTS points. Rights: c Bjarni Freyr Gudmundsson, 2008 Preface This report is a part of fulfillment requirements for acquiring the course 31910 Synthesis in electrotechnology and a 10 ECTS credit special course. The aim of the project is to get familiar with electric vehicle technology and to gain understanding on what the major electrical components are needed to propel the vehicle in sophisticated way. Furthermore, the author of the paper will use this project to gain the understanding on the behavior of different DC motor types. The author wants to thank Esben Larsen for all the long discussions we had regarding the project and for the interest shown on the subject. Joachim Hjerl, David Koch Mouritzen and Christian Rottbøll at CityRiders are thanked for bringing the project to DTU, providing the opportunity of this project and thank you for being so flexible when I needed the moped for testing and measurements. Bogi Bech Jensen is thanked for the valuable comments and suggestions regarding motor types and properties. Finally, thanks to my lovingly Edda and my beautiful Freydis for the understanding and moral support after all the long working days during the project. The project was done over the summer period of 2010 and is a part of the authors MSc programme. Abstract Electric vehicles have been come more and more popular discussion and seems to be one of the most developing technology today. The society seems to be more than before aware of the influences on nature and environment combustion propelled vehicles are causing. The electric vehicle seems to be something everyone knows of but no one uses and the negative public image of electric vehicle has been less over the recent years. In this project the investigation of electric vehicle conversion is done. An Italian made foldable combustion moped is used as a test subject for the project. The main effecting factors when comes to challenges met by elec- tric vehicle designers are realized and discussed. Evaluation leads to the optimal selection on main electrical components in the electrical mopeds drivetrain. Simulation by MATLAB mathematical modeling is done using data from the electrical components considered to give the vehicle the opti- mal performance. Variable factors in the vehicle design will be manipulated to realize the effects of the different factors on vehicle performance. The re- sults of MATLAB mathematical modeling show enhanced acceleration and top speed characteristics than on current combustion mope.
