Careful friends will find that the two-wheeled electric vehicles without pedals made by Yadea and Emma are also called electric motorcycles, and the motorcycles made by Zongshen and Honda are also called electric motorcycles, but everyone in the industry knows that these are two different species! Yadea and Emma use electric bicycle technology, while Zongshen and Honda are motorcycle technology, and the technical content of the two is not at the same grade at all! Why is it very simple to build an electric bicycle but difficult to build a high-speed electric motorcycle? I think there are three reasons!
First, electric bicycles do not have high requirements for speed
The speed of the electric bicycle is less than 25km/h, and the speed of the ordinary hub motor is less than 60km/h, and the speed is relatively slow, so there is no need to overconsider the wind resistance coefficient, frame strength, kinetic energy attenuation, and braking inertia and other parameters.
The high-speed electric motorcycle is much more complicated than the electric bicycle, first of all, its maximum speed can reach 200km/h, and the ordinary high-speed electric motorcycle is also more than 80km/h, and the response adjustment of the three-electric system, frame strength, brake, shock absorption, and direction is very important!
Second, high-speed electric motorcycles need to be tested for tens of thousands of kilometers
After the assembly of ordinary electric two-wheeled vehicles off the assembly line, the vehicle inspectors test a few laps in the factory, without much problem to basically go to the packaging warehouse for delivery, some small problems in the body are not obvious in the daily riding!
High-speed electric motorcycles are more like cars, and it takes 2-3 years for a new car to roll off the assembly line, while ordinary electric bicycles can basically get off the assembly line in 3-6 months.
3. Building a high-speed electric motorcycle is a money-burning job!
The production of electric bicycles does not need motorcycle production qualifications to do it! However, it is not possible to build high-speed electric motorcycles, and the production enterprises must obtain the first-class motorcycle production qualifications, which have high requirements for the level of the production line. From the appearance design, parameter configuration, mold development, and final parts procurement, performance tuning, a set of high-speed electric motorcycles will cost at least 2 million! For many small and medium-sized car companies, it is simply impossible to afford. Therefore, building a high-speed electric motorcycle is a very money-burning job! Only a strong enough enterprise can do it!
Summary:
After all, high-speed electric motorcycles are heavy, fast, and take the motor lane, so the requirements for it are very high! Ordinary car companies do not have enough technology, capital and talent teams can't do it! Everyone. What do you think about this?
