pollution free, eco-friendly solution for urban transportations. In the global market, 200 million electric_x000D_
bicycles are used today and forecasted to grow to 2 billion by 2050. The technology development also has to_x000D_
accelerate to scale up this expanding market requirements. Therefore, this research focuses on to develop an_x000D_
advancement in the Powertrain technology using the holistic approach for designing a novel Powertrain system_x000D_
for future light electric vehicles, mainly e-bike's (extended to wheelchairs, cargo bikes, mountain bikes and_x000D_
micro mobility scooters configurations)._x000D_
The proposed research will train one Ph.D., one M.A.Sc., one undergraduate students and a research assistant._x000D_
The project consists of developing key components of propulsion systems based on research and development_x000D_
of new technologies. Components of the power train will include novel drive unit based on the slot-less_x000D_
Halbach permanent magnet array which will provide high torque output ability at relatively low operational_x000D_
velocity, inverter, rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS) with new resonant inductive power transfer_x000D_
system for wireless charging, battery management systems, consoles, frame and articulating mechanisms, and_x000D_
displays. Industry standards and regulatory requirements shall be considered in the development of these light_x000D_
vehicle powertrains. The designs will also be inclusive of international standards._x000D_
This project will help Bionx International Inc. to design and develop next generation E-bikes., which will be_x000D_
lighter, reliable, and more efficient than those on the market today. BionX can benefit greatly from this_x000D_
research project and expand its business to extend it to wheelchairs, cargo bikes, mountain bikes and micro_x000D_
mobility scooters configurations to expand its business and product lines. Furthermore, the developed_x000D_
