Innovative motor for DREEM e-scooter
Together with Elaphe, Domel developed the TFM (transversal flux) motor for electric kick scooters. The objective of the project was to develop the lightest and most efficient motor.
The motor is developed under the DREEM (Designing useR centric E-kickscooters & business models for Enhancing interModality) project aimed at developing, producing and measuring a safe and modular 3-wheel electric kick scooter for urban and suburban mobility. The project involves 10 partners from six European countries: Italy, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, France and Slovenia. We received European funds for motor development.
“This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101007085.”
Additional information about the kick scooter and the project is available on the website https://dreemscooter.eu/ where you can see the conceptual design of the final product and all associated equipment.
Domel’s innovative motor, which is attached to the front wheel of the kick scooter, replacing the rim, has met all expectations. The three-phase motor with 350 W is 800 g lighter than the comparable BLDC motor, and is among the lightest motors in this power range in the world. It is thermally stable up to 10 Nm of torque, and develops a speed of 520 rpm. Currently, the project is in the phase of the first working prototype. The motor can also be used to drive an e-scooter or e-bike.
The results of measurements are extremely positive and have confirmed the theoretical analysis and FEM (finite element method) calculations. During the project, we were facing numerous challenges which we promptly addressed. The biggest challenge was to produce a stator from sintered material, which is a completely innovative part of the electric motor. The rotor consists of skewed rare-earth magnets.
The project includes a team with a background in development, technology, the prototype workshop, tool shop and measuring station. By the end of the year, we need to produce 40 motors that will be installed in scooters. The scooters will be intended for mobility research conducted in various pilot environments. The urban pilot project will be carried out on the streets of Torino, another pilot project will take place in an industrial plant in Belgium, and the third at the University of Gothenburg. The project will last 2 years.
We offer innovative development solutions tailored to your preferences.

Let’s take a closer look at why the e-bike is so amazing. It contributes to sustainable mobility and also helps improve the health of individuals and of society as a whole. The option of purchasing a Domel-driven e-bike bearing your company’s logo provides an additional incentive for increasing physical activity. Did you know that we offer personalised bikes? Riding an e-bike can help employees improve their physical fitness, reduce their stress levels and help them on their way towards a healthier lifestyle. They can now incorporate physical exercise into their daily routine, which eliminates the need to spend time at the gym. But that’s not all the e-bike has to offer. Adaptable mobility is another one of its many super powers, helping employees avoid traffic jams and providing them with a fast and efficient means of getting around. E-bikes are perfect for shorter or medium-length distances, and can be combined with public transport for the best results. And let’s not forget about how much money they can save on fuel and parking charges. E-bikes can open the door to mobility and independence for every employee, not all of whom will have a driving licence or a car. Let’s take a look at how e-bikes are saving the planet. Their CO2 emissions are low because they don’t produce direct exhaust gases or particles. This improves air quality. Domel encourages its employees to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle in their free time. It places great emphasis on recreation, to which it gives substantial financial support. We help finance recreational activities away from the workplace, including skiing, swimming and group recreation in sports halls. We also co-finance massages, visits to the sauna, and holiday accommodation by the sea and at spa resorts. We cover the registration fee in full for employees who wish to take part in running and cycling events, subsidise season tickets for the swimming pool, sauna and tennis facilities at Ratitovec institute, and provide vouchers for group exercise, fitness, massage and recreational swimming in Železniki, Škofja Loka and Kranj. During the summer months, we exercise and take part in various events at Selca sports park. Every year we organise an unforgettable employee picnic, which provides a perfect mix of entertainment and sport. In the autumn and winter we organise group recreation, where employees can play badminton, table tennis, five-a-side football, volleyball or basketball for free. There can be no excuse for not taking part in fitness or group activities on grounds of price, as we provide vouchers that keep costs to a minimum. And if you’re a skiing enthusiast, you’ve come to the right place, with low-price ski passes available for the Soriška Planina, Stari Vrh, and Cerkno ski resorts. Every day we make a wide range of apples available for our employees. We do all of this to promote sustainability and our employees’ health. E-bikes are proving to be a key factor in the development of a more sustainable future. Not only do they reduce CO2 emissions, but they also provide long-term benefits for individuals and the environment. The combination of fun, recreation and e-bikes gives our employees an unforgettable experience. We are building a more sustainable future – one that connects us and makes us healthier, happier and full of energy.
