Challenge
eFlow approached Glassboard to help tackle a critical piece of the Skeeter’s performance equation: the motor controller. They needed a high-efficiency, compact control system capable of delivering smooth, responsive acceleration while withstanding the rigors of shared urban mobility. The system had to integrate seamlessly with the onboard electronics and vehicle controller, support regenerative braking, and maintain performance across a wide range of user weights, terrain, and weather conditions—all within tight packaging and cost constraints.
Solution
Glassboard engineered a custom motor controller architecture optimized for the demands of shared micromobility. We implemented a field-oriented control (FOC) strategy to deliver smooth torque and high efficiency, even under variable load conditions. Our team designed and tuned the power electronics, firmware, and thermal management system to ensure consistent performance across urban environments. The controller was tightly integrated with the Skeeter’s broader vehicle system, enabling real-time diagnostics, firmware updates, and seamless communication with the onboard vehicle CAN network—all within a compact, ruggedized form factor built for high-volume production.
Result
The motor controller delivered by Glassboard became a cornerstone of the Skeeter’s performance and reliability. It enabled fast, responsive acceleration, extended battery life through efficient power management, and ensured durability across thousands of ride cycles. The integrated diagnostics and connectivity features simplified fleet maintenance for operators, while the smooth ride experience set a new standard for urban e-scooters.
