Microchip Technology has announced the launch of its Electric Two-Wheeler (E2W) ecosystem, a comprehensive suite of pre-validated reference designs aimed at transforming the development of e-scooters and e-bikes. As the electric two-wheeler market continues to reshape urban mobility, Microchip’s solutions address critical challenges such as power efficiency, system integration, safety, and time-to-market, enabling manufacturers to streamline production and deliver feature-rich electric vehicles.
Backed by detailed design files, schematics, Bill of Materials (BOM), and global technical support, the platform helps developers bring next-generation electric two-wheelers to market faster while ensuring optimized power, safety, and intelligence.
According to Joe Thomsen, Corporate Vice President of Microchip’s dsPIC business unit, manufacturers often face difficulties in optimizing power efficiency, integrating complex systems, and meeting evolving safety standards. He emphasized that the E2W ecosystem provides pre-validated, high-performance solutions that accelerate product development and improve vehicle reliability.
Microchip’s Electric Two-Wheeler Ecosystem introduces key innovations in power optimization, battery management, charging, motor control, system integration, and user experience. The advanced Battery Management System (BMS) features intelligent power conversion and sensing to maximize energy utilization, extend battery life, and enhance safety. Additionally, the 48V to 12V Power Conversion Reference Design ensures high-efficiency power distribution for improved system reliability.
The ecosystem also enhances charging solutions with a 7.4 kW Single-Phase AC EV Charger Reference Design that provides safe and reliable home charging with built-in protection features. A USB-PD Dual Charging Port offers fast and flexible charging for mobile devices, improving user convenience.
For traction motor control, Microchip’s 350W to 10 kW reference designs deliver smooth acceleration, higher energy efficiency, and precise motor control. With pre-integrated firmware and a modular design, these solutions simplify system development and reduce time-to-market. Seamless system integration is achieved through a suite of smart vehicle control features, including a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Hands-On/Off Detection, and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS), all designed to enhance security and safety. Integrated telematics and asset tracking enable real-time monitoring, theft prevention, and fleet management capabilities.
The ecosystem further elevates the rider experience with an intelligent, connected interface. A 720x720 round LCD instrument cluster, powered by Microchip’s SAM9X75 MPU with MIPI DSI, dual GbE, and NAND Flash, offers real-time data visualization and smart connectivity. The maXTouch ATMXT640UD and ATMXT641TD touchscreen controllers provide highly accurate touch performance, even in extreme weather conditions and with thick gloves. Cloud-enabled remote diagnostics and performance tracking enhance fleet operations and overall ride efficiency.
By introducing the Electric Two-Wheeler Ecosystem, Microchip aims to help manufacturers reduce development time, optimize power management, and integrate safety-driven features into next-generation e-scooters and e-bikes. This initiative represents a major step toward accelerating innovation in the electric mobility sector and driving the adoption of intelligent, energy-efficient two-wheelers globally.
