Regeneration control system in electric vehicle

摘要

A control system includes an electric motor, an electric storage device, an accelerator grip, a brake lever, a controller, and an adjustment lever. The controller supplies electric power from the electric storage device to the electric motor in response to an acceleration command input by the accelerator grip and causes the electric motor to drive the rear wheel. The controller adjusts the electric power generated by rotational power applied by the rear wheel in response to an acceleration/deceleration command from the adjustment lever. The acceleration/deceleration adjustment lever is provided separately from the brake lever and the accelerator grip. The brake lever is able to activate a brake mechanism for mechanically braking the rear wheel to decelerate a vehicle.

1. A regeneration control system in a straddle-type electric vehicle comprising: an electric motor which drives a drive wheel by electric power supplied to the electric motor and generates the electric power by rotational power applied to the electric motor by the drive wheel; a steering device including two gripping members gripped by a driver's right and left hands, respectively; an acceleration operation member provided at one of the two gripping members, for inputting an acceleration command for causing the drive wheel to be accelerated; a brake operation member provided at the one of the two gripping members, for activating a brake mechanism for mechanically braking a front wheel; a regeneration operation member provided at the other of the two gripping members separately from the brake operation member and the acceleration operation member to input a regeneration command; and a controller which causes electric power to be supplied to the electric motor in response to the acceleration command and adjusts the electric power generated by the electric motor in response to the regeneration command input by the regeneration operation member.
