Delta’s High-Performance Electric Two-Wheel Powertrain Rides the Green Mobility Wave

The global shift towards e-mobility is gaining momentum, with huge growth potential across Europe’s bike-friendly cities and Asia’s scooter-dominated streets. E-bikes and e-scooters are not only in line with energy-saving trends but are also increasingly popular for their convenience and effort-saving features. Currently, e-bikes have reached a 10% adoption rate, and e-scooters have captured 5% of the market, signaling a bright future for the electric two-wheel market.

At the heart of electric two-wheels is the motor, the equivalent of an engine in gasoline vehicles. Electric two-wheel motors come in three types: hub motors, mid-drive motors, and side-mounted motors. Hub motors, typically placed in the rear wheel, are simple and cost-effective, making them ideal for urban commuting. Mid-drive motors, located at the center of the bike, offer better balance and higher torque, ensuring smooth rides even on rough terrain. Delta's exclusive side-mounted motor, designed for e-scooters and e-motorcycles, offers higher efficiency due to the absence of chains or belts.

Since 2018, Delta has developed high-performance electric two-wheel powertrains, which aligns with the 2050 net-zero carbon goal. For the e-scooter market, Delta’s Integrated Side-Mounted Powertrain delivers powerful performance and boasts IP67-level waterproof and dustproof capabilities, ensuring reliability even in harsh conditions. This integrated design combines the motor, drive unit, and gearbox, increasing available storage space by 10%. Delta’s Mid-Drive Motor for e-bikes is not only visually sleek but also offers exceptional power for diverse terrains, catering to high-end markets and off-road applications.

Delta’s Electric Two-Wheel Powertrains offer the following benefits:

●4-in-1 Integrated Powertrain: The highly compact integration of the motor, drive unit, chainring, and sensors creates a smooth, rounded appearance and allows flexibility in frame design, giving e-bike manufacturers more room for customization.

●Compact Design with High Torque: Delta’s e-bike Mid-Drive Motor is over 20% smaller than competing motors, which enables a sleeker appearance for e-bikes that is more similar to traditional bicycles. It provides strong pedal-assist power for steep hills, ensuring an effortless ride across various terrains.

●Flexible Integration with Ecosystem Partners: Seamlessly integrates with battery and dashboard manufacturers, offering manufacturers flexible configuration options.

As innovation in powertrains facilitates user growth, the future of electric two-wheels in urban commuting, commercial logistics, and recreational riding is bright. E-bikes and e-scooters not only meet consumer demands for performance and convenience but also contribute to their greener lifestyles.
