Abstract: An electric motorcycle including an electric motor having a transverse oriented rotation axis, the motor including a case. A rear wheel is drivably coupled to the motor for propulsion. A swingarm has a front end defining a swingarm pivot axis. A battery pack includes a plurality of rechargeable electrochemical cells received within an internal cell cavity of a battery case, the battery case formed to include a motor flange. The motor case and the battery case are joined at the motor flange to define a frame of the motorcycle. The motor flange, in side view, covers at least a portion of the motor and extends away from the cell cavity at least to the rotation axis of the motor. The swingarm front end has a first lateral portion pivotally coupled to the motor case and a second lateral portion pivotally coupled to the motor flange of the battery case.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes an electric motor having an output shaft defining a motor axis, a rear wheel drivably coupled to the electric motor to propel the motorcycle, a swingarm rotatably supporting the rear wheel, and a frame. The frame includes a main frame member supporting the electric motor and the swingarm. A case of the electric motor is a stressed member of the frame between the main frame member and the swingarm. The swingarm is coupled to the case of the electric motor to define a swingarm pivot axis that is co-axial with the motor axis.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a virtual torque for an electric motor of a motorcycle. One method includes detecting a position of a drive torque control included in the motorcycle, detecting a position of a regenerative brake control included in the motorcycle, mapping the detected position of the drive torque control to a requested driving torque, mapping the position of the regenerative brake control to a requested braking torque, determining, with an electronic control unit, a torque command based on the requested driving torque and the requested torque, and transmitting the torque command to an electric motor included in the motorcycle.
