Dynamic control for light electric vehicles

Abstract

A method for dynamic control of an electric vehicle operable based on a throttle value received from a throttle and a default throttle map correlating default output values with throttle values, the method including: determining a user parameter; detecting a condition indicative of perturbation; in response to detecting the condition indicative of perturbation, determining a replacement output value for a first throttle value based on the user parameter; and controlling vehicle operation to meet the replacement output value in response to receipt of the first throttle value.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 at a vehicle comprising an electric motor:   determining a user parameter;   receiving a user input value from a user input;   selecting a first electric power parameter value based on the user input value from a user input map;   controlling electric power provision to the electric motor to maintain a value of an electric power parameter within a predetermined range of the first electric power parameter value;   detecting a condition indicative of perturbation;   selecting a second electric power parameter value for the first user input value based on the user parameter;   in response to detecting the condition indicative of perturbation, controlling power provision to the electric motor to maintain the value of an electric power parameter within a second predetermined range of the second electric power parameter value;   incrementally adjusting a electric power parameter value mapped to the first user input value from the second electric power parameter value to the first electric power parameter value; and   controlling power provision to the electric motor to maintain the output value of an electric power parameter within a predetermined range of each adjusted electric power parameter value.
