Specification — 60V

60V Brushless DC Motor For E-Scooters And Mid-Range Electric Vehicles.

60V sits between the common 48V and 72V battery tiers and is the dominant voltage for electric scooters, three-wheelers and mid-range utility EVs in Asia and emerging markets. A 60V BLDC motor draws less current than a 48V unit at the same wattage, improving cable life and controller efficiency. Shenghe produces 60V brushless motors from 100W to 800W with gear reduction options.

  • Rated voltage 60V DC (48V–72V operating range)
  • 100W to 800W rated power
  • Planetary and worm gearbox options
  • Integrated controller option available
Why 60V BLDC

Benefits Of The 60V Voltage Class

  • 20% lower current than 48V at equal power — reduces wiring cost
  • Compatible with 16S/17S Li-ion and 20S LiFePO4 packs
  • Below 75V DC — still in low-voltage safety territory for most standards
  • Strong controller ecosystem in electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler markets
  • Higher back-EMF headroom enables better field-weakening at high speed
  • Fewer series cells than 72V — lower pack cost for mid-range vehicles
