TWO-WHEELED ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

Provided is a two-wheeled electric vehicle that includes a battery, a three-phase alternating current electric motor, a motor controller, an accelerator operator, an accelerator operation detection means, a brake operator, and a brake operation detection means. The electric motor has a variable field means that changes the strength of the field, and is constructed so as to generate driving force to be transmitted to a drive wheel when current is supplied from the battery and to generate regenerative current when the drive wheel is rotated by an external force. The motor controller has a regeneration control means that executes a regeneration operation whereby regenerative current generated by the electric motor is supplied to the battery when a predetermined accelerator operation is detected and when operation of the brake operator is detected, and a regeneration amount setting means that sets the maximum regenerative current to a first fixed value when a predetermined accelerator operation is detected and sets the maximum regenerative current to a second fixed value when operation of the brake operator is detected.
