N2 - Excessive heat will reduce the torque, power, and efficiency of the in-wheel motor, for example, the in-wheel motor used for an electric scooter. This study discusses an effort to reduce the temperature of the in-wheel motor of an electric scooter by making grooves on the cover surface. If the temperature of the in-wheel motor cover is low, it will reduce the temperature of the in-wheel motor as a whole. This research uses the finite element method: steady-state thermal analysis and transient thermal analysis. The software used is Ansys Workbench. Suppose a heat flux of 1000 W/m2 is inside the in- wheel motor, the metal used as a cover is aluminum, 22°C is the starting temperature, and the ambient temperature is 28°C. The results showed that the grooves on the in-wheel motor cover caused the temperature to be reduced by 8.4%, and the total heat flux increased by 8.3% compared to the standard in-wheel motor cover (cover without modifications). In this study, the transient thermal analysis described the heat transfer process better than a steady-state thermal analysis.
