Development of an External Rotor V-Shape Permanent Magnet Machine for E-Bike Application
Abstract
This paper proposes the design and development of an external rotor permanent magnet in-wheel motor for an electric bicycle application. The proposed machine utilizes V-shape magnets embedded in the external rotor to achieve enhanced magnetic flux concentration and, hence, high torque and power output. Detailed design principles and performance characteristics of the proposed machine are comprehensively evaluated with finite element analysis. …
