Key Electric Two-wheeler Motor Market Trend in India

The growing movement of multi-speed transmission in electric two-wheelers is a electric two-wheeler motor market trend in India that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. Until 2016, most of the electric two-wheeler, were using single-speed transmission technology. However, certain drivetrain manufactures, such as Ather Energy, have plans to develop multi-gear transmission as the single-speed transmission does not perform equally well at low as well as high speeds. Moreover, the multi-gear transmission would deliver greater efficiency as compared with single gear transmission on the suburban driving and in highways. However, for city driving, the single or dual-speed transmission will suffice. EVs with multi-gear transmission technology will have increased vehicle range in terms of distance traveled on one charge. In addition, it will also help in reducing the battery pack size. It will even improve the low-speed pull away and the high-speed driving. All these benefits will lead the OEMs to the adoption of multi-gear transmission in electric two-wheelers.
