Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a kind of transmission based on two pulleys and belt configuration. The two pulleys consist of driving (input) pulley and driven (output), while the belt connecting both pulleys to transfer power from the input to output.  CVT has a wide range of continuous transmission ratios between its minimum and maximum transmission ratios, hence allowing smooth transmision ratio changes without any torque interruption. In Indonesia a motorcycle employs a rubber belt CVT is called Matic. This motorcycle is equipped with centrifugal based shifting and clutching actuators.The centrifugal actions highly depend on motorcycle engine speed. The sufficiently high engine speed of about 2400 rpm starts to actuate both the shifting and clutching actuators. Higher engine speed reduces the transmission ratio, hence increasing the motorcycle speed. For speed lower than 2400 rpm, both shifting and cluthing actuators go off.  When driving down to a long and steep hill road, it is likely for the driver to slow down the motorcycle to its lowest speed as possible. This condition makes both shifting and clutching actuators fail to work, hence disconnecting the rear wheel from the engine. As a result the motorcycle fails to perform engine braking. The only way to slow down the motorcycle is by applying manual braking. Braking for long periods of time causes the brake pads to overheat. This condition may results in brake failures and fatal accident. To overcome the shortcomings of the centrifugal-based CVT, an electro-mechanical (EM) CVT is proposed. The transmission ratio shifting mechanism of the EMCVT consists of a DC motor, gear train set, cam mechanism, and movable driving sheave. The shaft of the DC motor is connected to the input shaft of the gear train set, while its output gear attached to the movable cam mechanism to rotate the cam. The fixed cam mechanism is attached to the CVT casing. The cam mechanism is mainly used to convert the cam’s rotations into an axial movement that axially shift the movable driving sheave along its shaft to change the transmission ratio accordingly. It means that changing transmission rasio can be performed by controlling the position of the DC motor rotation, so it does not depend on the engine speed anymore. An electronic system is developed to control the transmission ratio of the EMCVT. The electronic system consists of speed sensors for input and output pulley shafts, rotary position sensor for the DC motor actuator, the DC motor driver, and a programmable microcontroller. By programming the microcontroller, it is possible to control the rotation position of the DC motor actuator in such a way that the desired transmision ratio can be fullfiled adequately within its minimum and maximum ratio. In addition, it is also possible to select desired transmission manually (tiptronic mode) or even automatically (automatic mode) based on its best operating point for optimal energy consumption. The application of this EMCVT is more suitable for electric motorcycle to gain its overal torque needed while climbing the uphill road.
