How to choose the drivetrain components?

We're passionate about designs that prioritize electric powertrain excellence and embrace engineering-first principles. If you share this technical mindset, you'll feel right at home. For these projects, careful component selection forms the foundation of success.

By powertrain system, we mean the integrated combination of:

  • Energy storage (battery pack with battery management system),
  • motor controller/inverter,
  • electric motor.

We position ourselves as e-powertrain experts who comprehensively understands the problematics. We have accumulated know-how in electric drivetrains over the last 15 years (motorcycles, drones, e-surfboards, marine drives, e-bikes, municipal equipment, slope mowers, ...). Therefore, we can recommend verified suppliers of motors, BMS, batteries, peripheral electronics, and mechanical components if needed). We also have extensive references, and the ability to deliver detailed case studies and accelerate the implementation.
