A self-contained electric propulsion system designed for vehicles, this unit integrates a motor directly within the wheel hub. Operating at 72 volts and capable of delivering 2000 watts of power, it typically includes the motor itself, a compatible controller, throttle, and potentially other components necessary for installation and operation.
This type of electric drive offers a compact and efficient means of converting electrical energy into rotational force, simplifying vehicle construction or conversion. The high voltage and power rating suggest suitability for applications requiring considerable torque and speed, such as electric bicycles, scooters, or light electric vehicles. Early adoption of similar technologies can be traced back to experimental electric vehicle projects, with advancements in battery technology and motor design fueling increased popularity and performance.
