BACKGROUND
The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.

With the onset of electric two-wheelers, the use of IC engine two-wheelers is decreasing day by day. The electric two-wheelers are much more efficient and produce no carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuel two-wheelers. However, the major problems with Electric two-wheelers are related to inadequate charging infrastructure, low energy density, high charging time, and battery storage space. Due to low energy density of batteries and limited storage space in two-wheelers, new Electric two-wheelers are designed to optimally utilise the available storage space in the two-wheeler. Most of the space in Electric two-wheelers is consumed by the Batteries, motor, and transmission arrangement. Thus, it becomes vitally important to device new assemblies for mounting electronic components such as telematics and control unit in the Electric two-wheelers which consume less storage space.

A telematics and control unit in the electric two-wheeler plays a vital role in battery management and controlling other electronic operations of the two-wheeler. As compared to the IC engine two-wheeler, electric two-wheelers has a considerably high number of electronic components. The telematics and control unit in the electric two-wheeler plays a crucial role in management of all the electronic components such as lighting system, battery management, regenerative braking, motor control, temperature control. The placement of the telematics and control unit plays an important role from storage space management as well as operational point of view.

Therefore, there is a long-felt need for a system for mounting the telematics and control unit assembly on the two-wheeler chassis, such that the system is independent of any two-wheeler variant.
