Abstract

With the advancement of technology and the growing awareness of environmental protection, electric motorcycles are becoming increasingly popular as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional motor vehicles. The modification of the 2010 Honda Beat is one such electric motorcycle model that has gained public attention due to its attractive design and reasonably good performance. However, despite the rising popularity of electric motorcycles, there are still some technical aspects that need further analysis to ensure optimal performance. One important component in a motorcycle is the transmission system. The transmission system functions to convert engine power into motion at the drive wheel. The cause of slipping that occurs in the 2010 Honda Beat electric motorcycle is overly loose tension. In the 2010 Honda Beat electric motorcycle, the transmission system has been changed from a belt drive transmission to a sprocket transmission system, with a ratio of 15 teeth on the front sprocket and 32 teeth on the rear sprocket, resulting in a sprocket ratio of 2.128. The chain speed is 7.7 m/s with 76 chain links or a length of 84.22 cm. The transmission system on this electric motorcycle uses a number 40 single-chain drive.
