This Upgraded Power Wheels Toy Is Powerful Enough To Need Traction Control

A Lamborghini Aventador Is beyond the budget of all but the most well-heeled fathers, but [CodeMakesItGo] came pretty close with a gift for his young son. It was a Lamborghini Aventador all right, but only the 6V Power Wheels ride-on version. As such it was laclustre even for a youngster in its performance, so he decided to give it a 12V upgrade. This proved to have enough grunt to cause wheelspin on those hard plastic wheels, so a further upgrade was a traction control system featuring a NodeMCU. No other child has such a conveyance!

The other selling point for this electric scooter is the fact that this is the lightest electric scooter that we can confidently recommend for heavy riders. The 450 w motor is powerful enough to carry riders weighing up to 135 kgs without lagging in acceleration, compromising the max speed, or completely losing performance when climbing hills. The deck is long and roomy at 48 centimeters x , with a 96 centimeter deck to handlebar height, making it extremely comfortable to ride for taller riders and riders with larger feet.

The braking power is necessary, given that the scooter is quite fast, reaching a top speed of 59 kmh. The throttle is also quite smooth for a performance scooter, reaching 24 kmh in 3.8 seconds and sustaining a smooth acceleration curve. Riders will also enjoy the 2-way adjustable rubber suspension that is not as bouncy as spring suspension, therefore keeping the wheels strapped to the ground for excellent traction on all surfaces.

When you use multiple batteries together you have the option of wiring them in Series or Parallel. This project calls for wiring in Series. By wiring in Series the voltage of the batteries is summed together while keeping the amperage/current the same. So by wiring these two batteries in Series we now have a 26.4 volt power supply with 12 amps. Greater voltage will mean FASTER SPEED of your vehicle.1. Use the wire you made to connect the negative of battery 1 to the positive of battery 2.2. Connect the positive of battery 1 to the positive probe of your volt meter.3. Connect the negative of battery 2 to the negative probe of your volt meter.If you connected correctly, and have your volt meter set correctly, you should now see the sum voltage of the two batteries. Note that the sum is 26.4 volts. Yes, this is greater than 12 + 12 =24. A fully charged battery will charge to about 13 plus volts.Now that you have this wired and tested. All you will need to do is remove the meter probes and install into vehicle and connect positive to positive and negative to negative from vehicle to batteries.According to Wikipedia.In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component.[1] In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

The first thing I did was to rip out all of the wiring and switches. The entire setup was extremely simple. The car was powered by two small DC motors, one for each rear wheel. The motors look to be standard 550 size and were geared down quite a bit with plastic gearboxes. The shifting mechanism was two integrated switches that allowed for full speed forward, half speed forward, and reverse. The biggest surprise was that the foot pedal was simply a switch and did not allow for any sort of variable speed control! All of this was connected to a standard 12V lead acid battery.

All of the switch contacts were covered in dead ants and did not work, however, the motors worked perfectly. So, all I had to really do was replace the inexpensive switches and the car would be as good as new. But, how much fun is that (especially for someone that makes motors spin for a living)? This car really needed variable speed control and a lighter and more powerful battery system.

The motors are connected in parallel to the A and B phases of the control board. I do not have the C phase connected to a braking resistor at this time because the drag from the gearboxes is enough to slow the car to my liking. The control is configured to allow the driver to shift the car into reverse when moving forward to brake and regenerate into the battery. However, I am not sure this is a good habit to teach my daughter!

The M18 battery and chopper drive have increased the max speed of the car from 5 MPH to 9 MPH. It has a very smooth takeoff and can crawl at low speeds when using the variable speed pedal. The battery and control board are hardly stressed with the maximum current and torque settings I am using. I am planning on replacing the 30A fuse with a 40A fuse and increasing the max current as a test. The Bluetooth LE control lets me take over the pedal from my daughter as a safety measure and allows me to tune and configure the various drive parameters using my phone (I need to write a better app for this).

Note that this is purely a result of the geometry of the situation and the fact that the wheels are free to rotate independently; there is no dependence here on the torque being provided to the wheels (see Fig. 4). Accounting for tyre dynamics modifies Eqn. 1 slightly. The application of torque at a wheel results in so-called wheel-slip [1]. This does not mean that there is any loss of traction between the tyre and road; rather, it is a feature of the dynamics of the tyre. The result is that the relationship between the speed of rotation of the wheel and vehicle speed is modified according to:

The traction control system detects that a wheel is spinning up and applies the brake to that wheel. In addition to controlling loss of traction, this allows torque to be applied to the opposite wheel, even with an open differential or electronic open differential, since the brake counteracts the torque applied by the drive-train to the spinning wheel.

Hand traction, on the other, can be controlled without the use of the brake-based ESC system in an in-wheel motor driven vehicle. The VCU uses the wheel speed information communicated by the in-wheel motors to determine when traction is being lost and reduces the torque demand on that wheel. This can be done without reducing the torque demand to the other wheel. The result can be superior to the action of a conventional TCS because of the fast response time of the in-wheel motor system and the ability of the motors to produce both positive and negative torque. We can refer to this as an electronic traction control system (eTCS).

In vehicles driven by in-wheel motors, the VCU can demand unequal torque from the two motors in response to the speeds reported by the motors in an exactly analogous way to the limited-slip differential. In practice, however, this does not give optimal torque distribution when there is no loss of traction. The eTCS with torque vectoring will give superior handling and traction control.

The simplest implementation of vehicle control for in-wheel motors, always demanding equal torque from all motors, will result in behaviour exactly the same as in a vehicle with an open differential, but without the need for the mechanical differential or axle shafts. This behaviour can be overlaid with the same brake-based traction and/or stability control systems as used in conventional vehicles to prevent wheels from spinning up during cornering or on low traction surfaces. On the other hand, improved traction control and torque vectoring functions can be achieved with no added bill-of-materials by modulating the torque demanded of the electric motors, in contrast to conventional vehicles which require complex, heavy and expensive mechanical systems such as an active differential to achieve a similar result. 2b1af7f3a8
