Is the hub motor AC or DC?

Apr 19, 2024

In-wheel motors can be DC or AC motors, depending on what kind of vehicle the motor is used on.

1.DC motor: DC motor is usually used in small electric vehicles, such as electric bicycles, electric scooters or light electric motorcycles. They are usually powered by DC power and are easier to control than AC motors.

2.AC motor: AC motor is more common in large electric vehicles, such as some electric vehicles or large electric motorcycles. They can be asynchronous AC motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors, typically powered by AC power and offering higher efficiency and power density in some applications.

Each motor has its own advantages and applicable scenarios. Choosing a suitable motor type requires taking into account factors such as performance requirements, power output, control method, and coordination with other vehicle components.
