Microchip Technology has launched an Electric Two-Wheeler (E2W) ecosystem, a comprehensive suite of pre-validated reference designs that addresses key challenges in e-scooter and e-bike development.

The move comes in response to growing demand as consumers embracing e-scooters and e-bikes for both recreational use and daily commuting. According to Microchip by offering automotive-grade, scalable solutions, manufacturers will be able to streamline development and build reliable, feature-rich electric two-wheelers.  Microchip’s automotive-grade components and modular reference designs provide a flexible, scalable platform that adapts to various power levels and feature requirements. Backed by comprehensive design files, schematics, Bill of Materials (BOM), and global technical support, developers will be able to bring next-generation e-scooters and e-bikes to market with optimised power, safety and intelligence. 

"Manufacturers often struggle with optimising power efficiency, ensuring seamless system integration and meeting evolving safety standards,” said Joe Thomsen, corporate vice president of Microchip’s dsPIC business unit. "Microchip’s Electric Two-Wheeler Ecosystem directly addresses these design challenges with pre-validated, high-performance solutions that help accelerate product development and enhance vehicle reliability."
