Original Abstract Submitted
Control method for an electric road vehicle comprising the steps of: defining a plurality of virtual gears, each of which determines a respective torque limit profile deliverable by the power train system to the wheels as the velocity varies; detecting, upon actuation of an interface system by the driver, while driving, a selection for one of the virtual gears currently set by the driver; and delivering a drive torque to the at least two wheels as a function of said selection; wherein at least one profile of the plurality of virtual gear profiles comprises an angular point at which, as the velocity of the road vehicle increases, the torque delivered to the wheels is at least partially cut off.
