Abstract
This study presents a research related to a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Motorcycle (HEM) which renovated from a Honda Lead 110cc with rear wheel is driven by original internal combustion engine and continuously variable transmission, while front wheel is directly-driven by a 48V – 1,000W BLDC Hub-Motor. The research focuses on optimal calculating, designing, prototyping and testing an electric power supply using Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack to replace the lead–acid battery. The simulation and experimental results are able to evaluate the dynamic characteristics and operating cost of HEM. The study has been designed and prototyed a 48V – 33Ah Li-ion battery pack with a Battery Management System (BMS) circuit embeded on the vehicle. The battery pack is 10.84 (kg) weight and 8.11 (l) volume, reduced 30 (kg) and 12.89 liters compared to the lead-acid battery where battery life is greater than 2,000 cycles. In only electric motor mode, the longest distance of the HEM is 78.77 (km) for a half load, only driver, and 65.83 (km) for full load, one driver, and one passenger. Maximum speed is 52.67 (km/h) for a half load and 48.42 (km/h) for full load. In hybrid mode until SOC reduce to 50%, HEM can travel 64.366 (km) for a half load and 54.477 (km) for full load. The fuel consumption in the each case is 2.162 and 2.425 (l/100km), 0.5 liter lower than the original one and 0.3 liter lower than lead-acid battery. The cost of investment in HEM is 56 million VND and the operating cost is 1,106 VND/km, while the original vehicles are 40 million VND and 1,352 (VND/km). For every 1km using hybrid vehicles, 246.88 VND will be saved, after about 3.1 years, it will recoup the spending on investment. At the end of the motorcycle life cycle is about 200,000 km, and 43 million VND will be saved.
Highlights
People on the world is facing increasingly exhausted fossil fuel sources and global climate change, the urgent requirement is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use energy resources effectively [1,2,3]

Summary
People on the world is facing increasingly exhausted fossil fuel sources and global climate change, the urgent requirement is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use energy resources effectively [1,2,3]. Discharge in C1 mode (Ip = 33A) and stop discharge when SOC = 20%, repeat in 500 cycles, battery pack capacity falls down to 23Ah (69.7% original capacity) This result is not much different when compared with the cell charge-discharge test mentioned in the previous study. - Modeling the vehicle dynamics In this study, authors model Li-ion battery pack to predict the state of charge level (SOC), capacity, voltage and current when testing. Simulated HEM under some motorcycle basic testing cycles such as: Japan [10,11,12,13,14,15] Mode, WVUCITY, FTP75, ECE-R15
