Application Examples & Success Stories


Unfortunately we cannot show you everything we have worked on due to confidentiality agreements.


However, we hope this page will show you the capabilities and flexibility of the FRIWO powertrain system

Before we dive in...

Here are 3 key points that make our Electric Powertrain Solution Great!


Battery and Charger

Our partner FRIWO have been in the industry for over 50 years, they specialise in manufacturing high grade power supplies, battery packs and the respective chargers.


Our electric powertrain range featuring a 2kWh battery pack and 500W charger is an extension of knowledge and experience formed over the past 5 decades.


The Charger and Battery both feature CANbus communication so they can ‘talk’ with each other and also be reprogrammed for specific applications.


The secret to extending the battery’s life span is a sophisticated charging algorithm to carefully monitor and maintain cell health while charging.


The built in BMS has safety built in, by monitoring each cell to make sure the pack is performing as intended.

Modular Components

If you are looking for an ‘off-the-shelf’ powertrain package, you can take 1 of each component shown on our website has it has been designed to work together and comes complete with all the mating connectors.


However, if you need a specific motor for your application (such as a hub) this is not a problem either, our motor controller is adaptable to 100’s of motors and will ‘self-teach’ how to operate it best during set up.


You can also use different displays too, information is transmitted via CAN. Even if you don’t have a display you can use our free App to remote monitor the controller.


Additionally our battery pack can be upgraded with grid firmware, this means you can wire up to 50 battery’s in parallel and they will communicate with each other to distribute power evenly, you can also swap them out.

Programming Software

The Battery Pack and Motor Controller can be monitored and reprogrammed with the bespoke ‘Enable Tool’


This advanced software has over 1,000 adjustable parameters to tailor the performance to your liking, giving your application that unique edge above the rest!


For example, you can control how much power is drawn from the battery at any time, set the max rotor speed, add regeneration braking to charge the battery

or why not program in a hill start assist?


Did we also mention you can store 4 different driving profiles on board the motor controller so you can switch between them on the go!


Only got 20% battery capacity left?

You can make the system to switch to ECO mode.


Hey!
What’s New?


We are always working on stuff behind the scenes.


In this photo gallery section we will be posting sneak peeks

and development updates every month.


In no particular order...

Here are some projects our powertrain technology has been implemented!


???


Our latest install has been implemented to create a hybrid vehicle.


Can you figure out what it is?!


Reveal cooming soon...

BREKR Model B


Brekr started developing Model B with the aim of launching an electric moped that surpasses all other models in terms of design and technology.


The two start-up founders Jasper Hagedoorn and Niels Willems were looking for an experienced partner for the technical implementation. After testing numerous battery systems, controllers and motors, FRIWO emerged as Brekr’s system partner of choice.

Electric Surf Boards


A combination of our battery pack and motor controller with a custom compact DC motor, these electric surfboards are a great way to traverse the water.


No waves required!

Electric GoKart Conversion | Gen 1


We were able to convert this petrol powered Go Kart into a fully electric version.

Using the following parts:


1x 5kW Brushless DC Motor

1x Motor Controller

1x 30Q Battery Pack

1x Display (optional)


The motor controller had 2 input signals connected, 1 analog and 1 digital.

- The analog signal was connected to pedal as the throttle, giving a value 1-100.

- The digital signal was connected to switch under the steering wheel,

when toggled this put the Go Kart in reverse mode.


Electric GoKart Conversion | Gen 2


For the next Go Kart conversion, the same controller and motor were used.


However, we doubled the battery count, this allowed for a longer running time and double the available power.


When our battery packs are to be put in parallel we install grid firmware, this allows them to communicate with each other and be swapped out.



In test lab conditions, we were able to spin the wheels over 100km/h!

Classic Vespa Conversion


This client specialises in providing electric vehicle conversions, recently they have adopted our powertrain system into their light electric vehicle conversions, this Classic Vespa for example.

Combining their engineering abilities with our pre-approved Battery Packs, Sophisticated Motor Controller and Programming Software they were able to get a electric vehicle working in no time!

Electric Quad Bikes


Pairing the high power battery with our motor controller offers a quiet, fast ride with instant speed boost and less maintenance required.


Need performance adjustment?

Just plug in the laptop, make your tweaks and test it on the track!

Battery Backup Array


This client needed a battery pack-up system for their telecommunications and network system in the event of a catastrophic power cut.


Wiring 20 of our battery packs in parallel increased the rated capacity to 804Ah!


With the system current draw of approx 10A per hour, this would allow the system to stay powered up and online for over 3 days.   

Electric Golf Buggies


Believe it or not, most buggies are still petrol powered.


While there are electric versions out there, the majority of these use lead acid.

A Lead acid battery is heavy and slow. Using a lithium ion pack like ours offers higher energy density and quicker charging speeds.


Pairing the battery with our powertrain technology offers a quiet, smooth ride with instant speed and less maintenance.


Electric Ricksaws


Using 4 battery packs in parallel with with 2 motors and 2 controllers, we are able to produce a powerful and reliable vehicle for everyday use.


Use the X-Ray slider to see inside the vehicle


In order to serve one of the world’s most rapidly developing markets in a targeted manner, our partner FRIWO has now founded its own subsidiary in India.


The core tasks of the new subsidiary will be support and project management for local customers as well as the coordination of local manufacturing. With the goal of being able to flexibly serve the demanding Indian market with high-quality solutions.

Electric Autonomous Robots


Graz University of Technology is fulfilling this reality by developing a universally applicable research vehicle that can be used both for simulating a mission to Mars and for rescuing people buried in avalanches.


FRIWO accompanies this exciting project and provides strategic advice and supplies the drive and control technology.
