Abstract :
The performances of two commercial motors for low-cost electrical scooters are compared taking two different approaches, simulation and experimental testing. The simulation tool for brush and brushless dc motors is presented and will be used to simulate different riding profiles. Afterwards, the test bench that was developed is detailed to compare performance of light traction motors for scooter or bicycle on a same operation cycles. Finally, we present a comprehensive comparison of the dc motor and of the PM brushless dc motor, from the steady state waveforms, within a complete riding profile.
