Micro mobility electric vehicles require a small, efficient, and simple electric motor, but studies on the performance of low-voltage electric motors are still limited. This study aims to analyze the performance of a 12-volt BLDC motor applied to a two-wheeled electric vehicle for short-distance transportation. Tests were conducted at a rotational variation of 200–400 rpm with measurements of torque, output power, and energy consumption using a dynamometer. The results show that the BLDC motor produces a maximum torque of 2.94 Nm at 400 rpm with an average efficiency of 82% and an energy consumption of 0.15 Wh. These findings confirm that the 12-Volt BLDC motor is suitable for use as an alternative propulsion for light electric vehicles, especially in micro mobility systems that emphasize energy efficiency and design simplicity.
