Our tehnology can be used by electric motor manufacturers and electric vehicle manufacturers that are interested in providing the most advanced electric propulsion. Key competitive advantages of Elaphe* hub motors are low weight, high torque, power and efficiency. Elaphe* technology can be used for a variety of applications from electric bicycles to electric cars. Typical data of the scooter motor are:
|
Mass: 8kg only! (rim, bearings and shaft included!),Peak Torque over 120Nm, Efficiency over 90%, power over 3kW. |
The Elaphe team has set up an ambitious goal to lead the in-wheel motor project all the way from the innovation to the market. Our business model includes cooperation in terms of technical asistance and IPR contracts with
+ electric vehicles manufacturer
+ electric motor manufacturers
Currently we are active in electric scoters, electric sailplanes and electric urban car projects. We are working globally and we have created many partnerships. We see our real contribution in demonstrating a way from the innovation to the automotive market! |

Elaphe technology
There are two equally important challenges in our development: 1. Cost effective solution, taking into account all elements of the propulsion system. 2. Excellent technical characteristics mainly the high torque, power and efficiency and at the same time low weight and volume. We have developed few innovative solutions in a single motor design and they result in the most effective technical characteristics and means of production. Elaphe in-wheel motors can be used for different applications from small motors for electric bicycles, wheelchairs, robots and scooters to more powerful for electric cars, boats and airplanes. The in-wheel motor with the highest specific power and torque!

Optimization
The developed computer simulations offer us an effective way for simulating the behavior of the motor for each specific application. Based on customer requirements we can offer specific designs for satisfying customer need. Elaphe offers the completely optimized technology for wide are of applications!
