The E-Core electric powertrain is a direct swap for the millions of 50 cc scooters and mopeds in the world.
Surain calls his idea E-Core. It incorporates a 1200 watt-hour removable battery pack that can be carried indoors for recharging and a 3 kW electric motor. The performance between the conventional engine and the electric drivetrain is about the same, except the motor has a peak power rating of 8 kW , which could transform the driving characteristics of all those mopeds that have a maximum of about 2.5 kW available.Electric Motorcycle News.
The concept behind the E-Core is simple. Unbolt the old 50cc combustion engine and transmission, bolt in the E-core, add a stay to support the weight of the battery, connect the wires and the throttle, and go. The design has to be flexible enough to fit in as many 50cc scooters and mopeds as possible. It sounds easy, but getting to this point hasn’t been easy., “The E-Core project is a paradigm shift in the usual design of my 2 electric wheels.
“The prototype is already running and is currently undergoing various tests, he says. “During development, I also have in mind that the finished product must be as inexpensive as possible in order to be considered as an alternative to a normal replacement engine. For manufacturing and distribution I am still looking for investors who believe in this project as I do.”
Many urban areas are thinking about banning internal combustion engines entirely. Replacing the small internal combustion engines with an E-Core powertrain would be more sustainable than scrapping millions of mopeds and producing new ones.Surain and Salens are seeking investors who believe in sustainable transportation to move their E-Core technology forward.
The key to making the E-Core a commercial success is volume production. Perhaps a major moped manufacturer will join forces with Surain and Salens or maybe Amazon will decide to get into the scooter conversion business. This is an idea that deserves to succeed. If you have a few million laying around you don’t know what to do with, give these lads a call. There’s a business opportunity here for an investor with vision.

Put Purpose at the Core of Your StrategyEight years ago, Malnight, Buche, and Dhanaraj launched a study of high growth in companies, looking at three strategies known to drive it: creating new markets, serving broader stakeholder needs, and rewriting the rules of the game. To their surprise, they discovered a fourth driver they hadn’t considered at all: purpose. Companies have long been building purpose into what they do, but usually it’s seen as an add-on—as a way to, say, give back to the community. The high-growth companies in the study, in contrast, had made purpose central to their strategies, using it to redefine playing fields and reshape value propositions. The purpose of Mars Petcare, for instance—a better world for pets—guided its expansion from pet food into the larger ecosystem of pet health. The purpose of Securitas—contributing to a safer society—led the firm to redesign its offering to include not just physical guards but electronic services and predictive solutions. This article explains how executives can develop and implement a purpose at their organizations. It also describes the benefits they’re quite likely to see once they do: a more unified organization, more-motivated stakeholders, broader impact, and more profitable growth.

Should You Tell a Prospective Employer About Your Caregiving Responsibilities?Unpredictable caregiving responsibilities can be challenging enough when you’re in a job you know and like, but what about when you’re ready to make a change? Deciding whether to disclose caregiving responsibilities during your job hunt is ultimately a judgment call with risks on either side. In making your decision, start by considering your current needs. Which of your responsibilities are fixed, flexible, or unknown? And is the condition of the person you’re caring for permanent, progressing, or intermittent? Once you know your needs, you can compare them against job descriptions you’re interested in. Once you’ve found a potential match, educate yourself about the company culture. You’ll want to both understand formal benefits, but also the intangibles, such as how important face time is or how supportive the company is of family needs. Finally, you’ll want to be really clear on your manager’s expectations, because your direct boss will have the biggest impact on your core working experience.
