Abstract
This study presents a short overview about Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries and its applicability on either hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) or motorcycle with the hybrid transmission in particular. This study deals with optimal operating characteristics calculation, comparison, and experiment Li-ion battery for HEM (Hybrid Electric Motorcycle) application, which is renovated from Honda Lead 110cc with the direct-driven front wheel by Brushless DC Electric Motor, the rear wheel is driven by internal combustion engine with the original continuously variable transmission (CVT). Both of them are able to provide torque independently or concurrently. The results of this research can be used to study optimal power source and the operating cost of the vehicle after renovation.
