The YASA Axial Flux Motor is an ultra high performance electric vehicle motor, capable of taking you further & faster, due to it's unmatched weight, size and power density, compared to current electric cars on the road. And it is a reality today. This is the YASA Story. It started in 2005, when YASA CTO & Founder, Tim Woolmer, during his PHD, began investigating the electric motor and it's suitability for the electric vehicle industry. This led him down the Axial Flux Motor route, as these has known benefits with regard to torque density. Axial Flux motors were identified as potential EV motor topologies in the 1800's, but despite the potential for weight reduction, it was the difficulty in manufacturing that limited its commercial viability. Despite the challenges, Tim began researching the Axial Flux Motor in combination with new materials, in the hope of finding a solution. When compared with a radial flux motor, which is about 400 newton metres, weighing
