Micro-mobility fleet vehicle powertrain systems and methods

A micro-mobility fleet vehicle, comprising:

• a powertrain comprising:
• an electric motor configured to provide motive force for the micro-mobility fleet vehicle;
• a brake resistor;
• and
• a motor controller electronically coupling the brake resistor to the electric motor, wherein the motor controller is configured to control the motive force output provided by the electric motor using the brake resistor, and wherein the motor controller is further configured to control one or more dynamic characteristics of the motive force provided by the electric motor utilizing the brake resistor and based on an operational environment external to the micro-mobility fleet vehicle;
• and
• at least one wheel mechanically coupled to the electric motor, wherein the motive force output of the electric motor is based at least partially on a braking parameter of the micro-mobility fleet vehicle.

A method, comprising:

• receiving data associated with an operation of a micro-mobility fleet vehicle;
• determining a braking action to take on the micro-mobility fleet vehicle based on the data;
• and
• controlling an output of an electric motor using a brake resistor through a powertrain of the micro-mobility fleet vehicle, the powertrain comprising the electric motor, the brake resistor, a motor controller electronically coupling the brake resistor to the electric motor, a battery electronically coupled to the motor controller, and a vehicle control unit (VCU) electronically coupled to the motor controller, wherein controlling output of the electric motor using the brake resistor comprises limiting one or more dynamic characteristics of the micro-mobility fleet vehicle using the brake resistor and based on an operational environment external to the micro-mobility fleet vehicle.
