  • Patent number: 8333258
    Abstract: A control apparatus is provided for use in an electric vehicle having a throttle input device. The throttle input device is operable by a rider for generating a throttle signal for controlling the speed of the electric vehicle. The control apparatus, which adjusts the throttle signal, includes a rider input mechanism and a control device. The rider input mechanism can be manipulated by the rider to provide a given input. The control device is coupled to the rider input mechanism and to the output of the throttle input device. The control device adjusts the throttle signal based on the given input provided by the rider input mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20110036657
    Abstract: A chassis for an electric vehicle includes a frame structure comprising two beam members arranged side-by-side with a gap therebetween. Each of the beam members includes a front end connected to the front end of the other beam member and forms a head tube for pivotally retaining a portion of a fork assembly holding a front wheel of the electric vehicle. Each of the beam members includes a rear end fixedly connected to a motor housing. The gap between the beam members is configured for holding one or more battery modules therein. The chassis also includes a swing arm assembly including a front end connected at a pivot point to the motor housing. The swing arm assembly includes a rear end holding a rear wheel of the electric vehicle.
