Abstract :Nowadays, electric vehicles have become an important area because of air pollution, increasing use of renewable energy sources and being exhausted of oil fuels. In our country even the usage of electrical vehicles is not widespread nowadays, but also very popular and it is thought that it will increase. In this area, new studies and projects appear continuously Real systems are moving systems and it is difficult and expensive to evaluate by electrical vehicles; therefore an experiment mechanism has been created. In this study two fixed magnet synchronous hub motors have been used as wheels and the other one as load. In order to find the speed of the wheel, load value and coefficient of friction related to sliding, Burckhardt model has been used and the results obtained with different speed and road conditions have been presented here.
