Abstract: Electric two-wheelers are becoming popular due to increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation. Most electric scooters use BLDC motors, but they depend on permanent magnets which increase cost. In this paper, a squirrel-cage induction motor is designed for electric two-wheeler use. The motor is modeled using Altair Flux Motor software. Basic parameters such as dimensions, torque, and efficiency are studied. The motor produces around 3 kW power with efficiency close to 90%. The results show that induction motors can be used as an alternative to BLDC motors for electric vehicles
