Whether pedelecs, e-scooters or drones, most types of mobility are powered by an electric motor. These motors are generally identical in their construction, using a stator with wound copper wire. In order to make these motors more efficient, there are a number of challenges to be addressed in terms of efficiency, weight, and material and labor costs.
