How to Calculate Electric Tricycle Rear Axle Gear Ratio
Calculate an electric tricycle rear axle gear ratio by dividing the speed of the defined input shaft by the speed of the defined output. For a simple gear pair, divide the driven gear’s tooth count by the driving gear’s tooth count. When several reduction stages lie between the motor and the wheels, multiply their ratios […]

How to Choose Controller Wattage for an Electric Tricycle

Then check the battery voltage range, battery and motor current limits, continuous operating conditions, and control interfaces. A wattage label helps identify candidates; these additional checks determine whether a candidate suits the vehicle. This […]

CBU, SKD or CKD? How to Choose the Right Shipping Format When You Import Electric Tricycles
