  • Patent number: 10017074
    Abstract: The system (1) for piloting an electric motor in electric motorcycles or the like is operatively connectable to a control inverter (I) of an electric motor (E) of an electric motorcycle (M) and to a control device (C) of the acceleration of the electric motorcycle (M) and comprises dynamic generation means (10) of a piloting signal (TOUT) of the inverter (I) according to a control signal (G) coming from the control device (C) and to at least a maximum deliverable/absorbable current value (IMAX, RIMAX) by an electric battery (B) of the electric motorcycle (M).
