Special Low-Speed Vehicle Charging
Electric Motorcycles & Scooters Charger
Compact on-board chargers for electric motorcycles and scooters on 48V-96V platforms, with portable options and OEM/ODM customization.
Electric motorcycles and scooters - from commuter scooters to delivery two-wheelers - are the largest segment of electric vehicles by unit volume. They run on 48 V to 96 V packs, with a limited space and weight budget, and usually charge from any available outlet.
Echelon builds compact on-board and portable chargers for 48 V to 96 V two-wheeler platforms, such as the 1.9 kW Portable & On-Board Charger.
What an Electric Motorcycle Needs from a Charger
- A voltage window covering the full charge range of 48 V to 96 V packs
- Compact size and light weight - space and mass are at a premium
- Charging power matched to the window: 1.9 kW for most two-wheelers, 3.3 kW for larger packs
- Sealing and vibration tolerance for weather-exposed vehicle mounting
- CAN communication for lithium packs with BMS control
- A portable option for riders who charge away from base
Choosing the Charging Power
- 1.9 kW - the standard fit for commuter and delivery two-wheelers, works from any outlet
- 3.3 kW - larger motorcycle packs or a shorter charging window
- 1.9 kW portable - for riders who move the charger to the outlet rather than the vehicle
