What are Electric Propulsion System (EPS) Solutions? EPS solutions are highly cost effective brushless DC electric motors, intelligent softgear controllers and energy source (battery), which control energy delivery to deliver maximum efficiency of output and power, prolong the life of the battery and reduce recharge time for Light Electric Vehicle(LEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV).

Who uses EPS Solutions? Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) manufacturers require EPS systems to power their products, which include electric bicycles, wheelchair, golf cart and toy manufacturing applications. Electric car manufacturers This product can be developed for other applications including underwater vehicles and electric boats.

Single vendor Power Train - Magdyno's EPS Magdyno will supply the entire power train of battery, motor, and controller to its customers. The "electric propulsion system (EPS) " or "power train" is the heart of any LEV. Its efficiency and optimization is a critical aspect of overall LEV performance. If the motor draws current from the battery at too fast a rate, it can harm the battery by decreasing the amount of energy stored in a single full charge, or by also decreasing the lifetime of the battery. If the battery supplies too much current at any one time to the motor, it can suddenly or gradually burn out the motor or decrease the motor’s efficiency. A perfectly matched battery and motor can only be achieved through the use of an optimized intelligent controller. The combination of the GreenPower battery with Magdyno’s multiwinding motor and "softgeared" controller will save LEV manufacturers endless hours of selection, testing, and optimizating. Magdyno will do all the engineering work to perfectly match the operating characteristics of all three power train components This will save LEV manufacturers time, effort, energy, and money. Magdyno intends to offer this complete LEV "Power Train" to both its ebike and ecar customers

LEV Battery Electric bicycles are either power-on-demand, where the motor is activated by a handlebar mounted throttle, or pedelec (from pedal electric), where the electric motor is regulated by pedalling. These can be detected and managed by the intelligent controller with a mechanism such as a crank sensor to detect when the user is pedalling, or a more sophisticated torque sensor. The degree of assistance can usually be controlled to optimize battery life. Range is a key consideration with electric bikes, and is affected by factors such as motor efficiency, battery capacity, efficiency of the driving electronics, aerodynamics, hills, and weight of the bike and rider combined. The combination of motor efficiency, and the efficiency of the driving electronics (such as controller) are key factors to determine how far the LEV can go.

Magdyno Technology as a Revolutionary Innovation in the LEV Industry Ideal batteries are should be as "dual-purpose" batteries for starter and deep cycle applications. The dual-pupose battery design needs compleciated design technology. Magdyno technology solves the problems from both the motor and controller perspective. Magdyno technology is a revolutionary innoviation in the E-bike market bringing together third generation motor and controller technology. We expect that this same technology will also have great potential in Smart E-car markte in the future.

Electric Vehicle Benefits and Advantages Electric Vehicles generate both personal and global benefits. And the benefits are multiplied when other household members use your electric bike Riding a bike, even an electric one, is about waving to your neighbors, talking to people at crosswalks, enjoying your own power, coasting down the hill with a bit of wind in your hair, paying attention to the cracks in the road, sticking your tongue out to taste the spring rain, always being able to find a parking place, feeling like a kid. It's a part of what the new culture is about -- enjoying the moments of life, the getting there as much as the being there, the effort as much as the reward, wholeness as much as efficiency, muscle power as much as turbo power, your community as much as your solace. The economic benefits of electric bicycles are better, in terms of quick payback, than insulating your home. Substituting e-bike trips for car trips saves on purchase price, insurance, and registration fees. Beyond the purchase price, cars cost about $0.10 per mile in fuel and parts. Some families will use an electric bike to augment their car use, while others will find tremendous savings by living with one less car. For some folks, there's no comparison because they don't have a license to drive - and don't need one for an electric bike. The environmental benefits include reduced pollution (CO2, NOX, tire and brake lining fragments) and reduced resource consumption (less material, fuel, and infrastructure). Reduced CO2 emissions is most important because scientific opinion is close to unanimous that global warming is already happening. The average car emits one pound of CO2 for every mile driven. Electric bicycles also allow you to reduce your risk of living in a technology-dependent culture. Automobiles and buses may be stalled by oil embargoes, fallen bridges, and mega-traffic jams. An electric bike, a vehicle light enough to carry short distances over or around obstacles, is nearly immune. At the personal level, an e-bike owner is free of license, registration, and insurance requirements. We also provide a reality check on the "bicycling around cars is dangerous" myth. E-bikes support a simple lifestyle. They're easy to use; just flip a switch to get a gentle, but firm, push. They save time in two ways: 1) For errands up to a mile and on some congested commutes, e-bikes are quicker than the car; 2) Their low cost means you work fewer hours supporting them. The pace of life slows a bit while riding an electric bike. Stress goes down, enjoyment of life goes up. Fun happens! Your health and fitness will likely improve. How can that be with a motor on your bike? Because you will actually be riding that bike more often. It's more fun! Traffic snarls aren't frustrating and stressful. In fact, the worse the jam, the more gratifying the ride. It doesn't just feel like you're "beating the system". In many ways, you are! Despite our culture's belief that bicycling is dangerous, remember that heart disease is almost 1,000 times more dangerous.
