Launching light electric motor for bicycles

A Swiss metallurgical company has launched an environmentally friendly electric motor model that offers higher energy efficiency than current engines.

Höganäs, Switzerland, has just launched an electric motor model designed for electric bicycles, electric scooters and other lightweight vehicles.

This engine applies the advantages of 'powder metallurgy' technology, which provides high performance but small engine size, allowing electric bicycles to travel up to 75 km after full charge.

Power of Powder: electric bike model using Höganäs new electric motor.

This electric motor is on display at the World Expo International, Shanghai, China, one of the cities with the largest electric bicycle production and consumption industry in the world.

Höganäs is the leading manufacturer of powder metallurgy technology. Powder metallurgy involves reducing the size of metal particles to the molecular, heating and spraying levels - casting into the desired shape.

This method can create complex products with high uniformity and more thoroughly used materials.

Electric motor built according to Höganäs powder metallurgy method.

Alrik Danielson, CEO of Höganäs Group, said: 'We choose electric bicycles as the first application of this type of engine. Bicycle engines are a challenge both in performance and cost, but we are confident that we have a great product. It's lighter than other electric motors and for an electric bike, the 75 km range of travel is quite high. '

Electric bicycle motor is an example of the power of metal powder technology. This motor has high performance and very compact for direct drive applications.

"By combining high power-to-mass ratio with a modular design, this engine is suitable for a wide range of complementary applications for electric bicycles, electric scooters, and light vehicles. another, pumps, fans and generators, " Danielson said.

Internal construction of electric motor produced by Höganäs company.

The stator of the engine is produced by powder metallurgy technology from metal scraps and the engine design allows easy recycling. This engine also uses less natural magnets and copper wires than conventional electric motors.
