er many years transport has been a source of economic growth by moving goods and workers around the country but has also been a major source of greenhouse gas emissions [1]. To tackle these emissions including other harmful emissions from transport, it has been at the motivation of researchers and manufacturers to develop and improve transportation technologies that lower carbon emissions. This has led to the increased use of electric vehicles and plug‐in hybrid electric vehicles, therefore making motor drives, energy storage systems, and power electronics important related issues [1].

Optimization and sustainable use of energy sources is the main goal of many electrical machine manufacturers around the world. One of the ideas was to apply an electric powertrain to a motorcycle dating as far back as 1895. The first efforts in creating an electric powered single-track vehicle can be found in the patent index from 19 September 1895 in Ohio, USA, where Ogden Bolton Jr. patented an “electrical bicycle” [2][3].
