Indonesia is a country that has tropical climate with average temperature vary in between 27°C until 37°C. BLDC motor industry is not common in Indonesia so that has to be imported from another country mostly subtropical countries. BLDC motor is built according to subtropical characteristics. Therefore, BLDC motor performance is changing in Indonesia due to the temperature differences. The following methods are used in the study: laboratory experiment and field test using electrical vehicle. The temperature in laboratory is in range between 23°C up to 55°C. However the field temperature varies from 27.7°C and 34, 2°C. The increasing temperature inside the motor in laboratory and field experiments conducts modification of BLDC motor parameters. The rising motor temperature degrades the current and torque of motor, but increasing the rotation velocity of the motor.

One type of electrical motors often used for electric vehicle purposes is Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDC Motor). BLDC motor performance can be seen from its current line, electromagnetic torque, rotational speed, induction voltage, and input power as the parameters. The research’s aim is to find out the effect of loading towards BLDC motor performance on the electric vehicle. The loading variations are used in the form of passenger weight and track characteristics variations. The variation of passengers’ weight is 55 kg, 78 kg, and 143 kg. In this study obtained line current value when the passengers load 143 kg is 41.52 A. Furthermore, the values of the electromagnetic torque and energy consumption in the same weight are 23.88 Nm and 0.06 kWh/km. To ascertain the effect of track characteristics variations to the motor parameter, variations of track characteristics are done in trajectory 0° and 1.25°. The outcome is the 1.25° tilted track has higher energy consumption but lower speed.
