Two Wheeler Hub Motor Global Market Report 2024

A two-wheeler hub motor is an electric motor affixed to the wheels, converting electrical power into motive force for traction. Its installation contributes to vehicle weight reduction, diminished fuel consumption, prolonged two-wheeler lifespan, and decreased maintenance costs. Primarily employed for rear-wheel drive vehicles, the two-wheeler hub motor offers advantages in terms of efficiency and sustainability.

The principal vehicle types in the two-wheeler hub motor market include electric bikes, electric scooters, and electric motorcycles. Specifically, an electric bike utilizes the two-wheeler hub motor to assist pedaling. In hub motors, the shaft assumes the role of the axle, remaining stationary while the rotor spins, propelling the entire motor to generate torque for rotating either the front or rear wheel. Installation options include front and rear placements, and the motors are available in gearless and geared models. Distribution occurs through various channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
