About the Electric Drive Train
How it Works
Compared to an internal combustion engine, your MOTORINO™’s drive
system is elegantly simple.
Electric power stored in the battery pack is supplied to the motor control-
ler.
The controller converts the battery’s direct-current to three-phase
alternating-current and sends it to the direct-drive brush-less motor built
into the rear wheel. There are no gears or chains involved in transmitting
power from the motor to the road.
The controller receives rider input from the throttle grip and CCT switch
to determine how much power to send to the motor; the power devel-
oped depends on the amplitude, frequency, and shape of the AC wave-
form the controller produces.
When the controller receives a signal (from the brake light circuit) that the
brakes have been applied it engages the regenerative braking function.
This puts power (taken from the kinetic energy of the moving scooter)
back into the battery by turning the motor into a generator. The drag
of the motor now acting as a generator helps slow the bike and has the
welcome side-effect of lessening wear on the mechanical brakes.
E-Riding Tips
Use regenerative braking as much as possible.
Accelerate gradually, ride smoothly.
Avoid starting out on hills.
Avoid steep hills when possible.
Avoid deep battery discharge.
Charge fully after each ride and at least once a month even if not riding.
Turn Circuit Breaker off when in storage, but back on to charge.
