Abstract

The rise in urban e-bike adoption underscores the need for robust thermal management systems to enhance the efficiency and reliability of critical components such as motor controllers. This study explores compact, lightweight, cost-effective cooling systems to maintain optimal thermal conditions under diverse scenarios. A comprehensive review of cooling technologies, including air, liquid, and hybrid systems, highlights the advantages of phase change materials and heat pipe-based solutions, particularly in combination with forced convection. Control systems leveraging fuzzy logic have emerged as the best solution due to their adaptability and low computational requirements. This research establishes a foundation for integrating innovative thermal management architectures into next-generation e-bikes, promoting sustainability and improved user safety.
