Where Can Hub Power Be Used? What Are The Advantages?

1. Application of hub motor

We know that electric motors are used in various forms of electric vehicles. There are motors with gears and drive trains and in-wheel motors that mount directly to the wheels. The brushless hub motor is currently the most widely used electric bicycle motor in the world, and now it is gradually transferring its influence to large electric vehicles such as electric cars, electric buses, and electric trucks.

2. Benefits of hub motors

1. Since the hub motor is directly integrated into the vehicle motor, the installation is simple and convenient. This feature of hub motors can help us easily convert any existing bicycle into an e-bike. That's why these motors are best suited for conversion kits.

2. If hub motors are used, the vehicle does not require a differential.

3. These motors are external rotor motors. They have a motor ratio of 1:1. Every time the motor turns, the wheel turns with it.

4. The hub motor adopts a multi-pole design, which means that the motor provides higher torque. Higher torque is essential for the vehicle's initial launch.

5. Since the hub motor adopts BLDC motor technology, this technology uses electronic commutation instead of mechanical commutation. Therefore, the motor requires less maintenance and is more reliable than comparable motors.

6. The hub motor does not have any form of gear and chain transmission, which improves the operating efficiency of the vehicle compared with similar products. Additionally, the absence of transmission parts means that there is no need to use oils that could contaminate the product.

7. Another advantage is that the hub motor has low noise during operation, which brings a pleasant riding experience.
