Why Open Hardware Matters

Proprietary vs. Open Source EV

Comparing closed commercial EV scooters to our open-source, user-repairable hardware platform.

Closed Commercial EV

Proprietary Commercial Scooters

Standard commercial electric scooters lock owners out with encrypted BMS protocols, glued battery packs, and anti-repair firmware.

  • DRM Locked Batteries: Encrypted BMS protocols prevent battery cell upgrades or local repair.
  • Potted Controllers: Resin-filled motor controllers make component diagnostics impossible.
  • Vendor Lock-in Servicing: High repair costs at authorized dealerships; independent garages rejected.
  • Planned Obsolescence: E-waste increases when manufacturers discontinue software update support.
Commercial EVs force users into total dependence on single-source corporate supply chains.
ElectrifyAsia OSHW

Open Source Hardware Project

Every schematic, Gerber file, 3D STEP bracket, and C++ firmware line is completely free, user-repairable, and community-audited.

  • 100% Open KiCad Schematics: Audit, modify, or manufacture your own motor controller PCBs locally.
  • Modular LFP Cell Holders: Standard 32700 / 18650 LFP cells can be swapped individually with simple tools.
  • Local Mechanics Empowered: Neighborhood garages can print brackets and repair electronics independently.
  • Zero Vendor Lock-In: Forever maintained by an open global community under CERN-OHW license.
Empowers decentralized local manufacturing and circular green technology jobs across Asia.

Conversion Workflow

How To Build Your Kit

From downloading CAD files to flashing open firmware, converting your motorbike is transparent and fully documented.

01

Clone & Pick Chassis

Download the CAD blueprint repository matching your motorcycle model (Honda Wave, Mio, Cub, Vespa, etc.).

02

Fabricate & Source BOM

Print 3D motor brackets in PETG/CF-Nylon or CNC laser cut aluminum plates. Order raw BOM parts using our CSV checklist.

03

Assemble & Flash Code

Mount the hub motor bracket, connect the open BMS harness, and flash OpenVESC firmware via USB/Bluetooth.

04

Ride & Share Mods
