Specification — 36V

36V Brushless DC Motor For E-Bikes, Light EVs And Power Tools.

36V is the standard battery voltage for e-bikes, electric scooters and cordless power tools worldwide. A 36V brushless DC motor matches a 10S lithium pack directly, keeps wiring current manageable at power levels up to 400W and meets most regional e-bike power regulations. Shenghe manufactures 36V BLDC motors from 50W to 400W with planetary, worm and spur gear options.

  • Rated voltage 36V DC (30V–42V operating range)
  • 50W to 400W rated power
  • Planetary, worm and spur gearbox options
  • Hall sensor standard, encoder optional
Why 36V BLDC

Benefits Of The 36V Voltage Class

  • Direct compatibility with 10S Li-ion / LiFePO4 packs
  • Lower current draw than 24V at equal power — thinner cables, smaller connectors
  • Meets EU EN15194 and many regional e-bike voltage limits
  • Safe voltage level — below 60V DC safety threshold in most standards
  • Wide controller availability in the 36V ecosystem
  • Good balance of torque density and thermal headroom at 200W–400W

36V BLDC Motor FAQ

What Buyers Ask Before Ordering A 36V Brushless DC Motor.

The questions engineers and procurement teams ask most often about the 36V voltage class. For anything not covered here, send us your spec — quote within one working day.

What power range is available in 36V BLDC motors?

Shenghe 36V brushless DC motors are available from 50W to 400W rated power. The most popular models for e-bike hub and mid-drive applications fall in the 200W–350W range, while power tool variants typically use 100W–250W.

Can I use a 36V motor with a 10S lithium battery pack?

Yes. A 10S lithium-ion pack delivers 33.6V–42V across its discharge curve. Shenghe 36V motors are designed for a 30V–42V input window, matching 10S packs without modification. The controller handles voltage variation automatically.

What gear options are available for 36V motors?

36V motors can be paired with planetary gearboxes (5:1–100:1 ratio), worm gearboxes (10:1–60:1), or spur gear reducers. Planetary gears suit e-bike and EV drives where efficiency matters; worm gears fit applications needing self-locking at rest. See the 36V BLDC gear motor page for geared configurations.

How does 36V compare to 48V for e-bike applications?

36V systems draw higher current for the same power output, which means slightly thicker wiring and higher I²R losses. However, 36V packs are lighter, cheaper and comply with more regional e-bike regulations. For rides under 250W nominal, 36V is the cost-effective choice. Compare with the 48V brushless DC motor range.
