4 Hands-On EV Fundamentals Experiments

Build a complete understanding of 2-wheeler EV architecture, hub motor performance, power converters and professional wiring practices.

1

EV Bike Internal Architecture & Wiring

Open up a commercial EV bike to map every subsystem, connector and harness in the powertrain.

  • Identify battery pack, hub motor, controller and BMS layout
  • Trace high-voltage and low-voltage wiring paths
  • Map DC-DC converter, throttle, brake and display connections
  • Inspect wiring harness integrity and routing practices
  • Prepare a complete internal architecture diagram
  • Discuss safety and maintenance recommendations
Experiment 1
2

Hub Motor Analysis with Mechanical Loading

Use a 2-wheeler simulator and spring balance to study hub motor behaviour under real-world loads.

  • Relate throttle position to motor voltage, current and speed
  • Apply no-load, half-load and full-load mechanical resistance
  • Measure input/output electrical parameters at each load
  • Observe brake light, headlight and indicator behaviour
  • Discuss efficiency, heating and torque response
  • Interpret results for actual road and gradient conditions
Experiment 2

Power Electronics Converters & Test Points

Explore DC-DC converters, inverters and motor controllers that manage energy flow in the EV.

  • Locate step-down DC converter, controller and inverter sections
  • Measure input/output voltage and current using multimeter
  • Use oscilloscope to study inverter waveforms and frequency
  • Observe converter response to throttle changes
  • Record performance at multiple test points across the kit
  • Relate converter behaviour to overall vehicle efficiency

EV Wiring on a 2D Board

Practice neat, colour-coded wiring by laying out a complete EV circuit on a 2D training board.

  • Interpret the EV wiring diagram for battery, controller and loads
  • Use colour codes for power, ground and signal lines
  • Cut, strip and terminate raw wires to correct length
  • Bundle and secure harnesses using tape and cable ties
  • Label each connection and create a final wiring schematic
  • Review safety, insulation and troubleshooting practices

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the EV Fundamental Course Experimental Manual.

Is the EV fundamentals manual completely free?
Yes. The EV Fundamental Course Experimental Manual is free to download and use within academic institutions. You may distribute printed or digital copies to your students as part of regular lab courses.
Do we need all four experiments to start the lab?
We recommend running all four experiments as they build progressively from architecture understanding to measurement and wiring practice. However, colleges can start with a subset and add the remaining experiments as equipment becomes available.
What prior knowledge is expected from students?
Students should have basic courses in electrical circuits and machines. Familiarity with multimeters, DC power supplies and basic safety protocols is helpful. The manual explains EV-specific concepts in a lab-friendly way, so it works well in 3rd–6th semester labs.
Can this manual be integrated into existing electrical machines or power electronics labs?
Yes. Many institutes map these experiments to existing “Electrical Machines Lab”, “Power Electronics Lab” or “EV Fundamentals Lab” slots. Only minor syllabus mapping is typically required; DIYguru can assist your department with formal mapping documents.
Does DIYguru supply the 2W EV simulator and 2D wiring boards?
DIYguru can supply complete hardware kits including 2W simulators, wiring boards and accessories through its Centre for Future Mobility network. You can also adapt the manual to your own in-house rigs as long as equivalent measurement points are available.
What ongoing support is available after deployment?
Our team provides remote support for experiment interpretation, equipment selection, and faculty training. For large adoptions or COEs, onsite commissioning and periodic upgrade workshops can also be arranged.
