Abstract

The present disclosure relates to electric road-legal vehicles, and provides a pedal-assisted RTO registrable two-wheeled electric vehicle (20). The vehicle (20) includes a hub motor (8) mounted on its rear wheel (9) axle, and a pedal assembly (6). The vehicle (20) houses a battery pack (2), and a swing arm. The battery pack (2) drives the hub motor (8) at power greater than 250 Watts and top speed greater than 25 kmph. A sensing unit senses the angular displacement of an accelerator (1) to generate a sensed displacement value. A torque sensor (7) is fitted in the frame near the pedals, to sense the torque applied by the pedal assembly (6) while driving, and generate a sensed torque value. A control module receives the sensed displacement value and the sensed torque value to generate an actuating signal for supplying power from the battery pack (2) to drive the hub motor (8).
