A device for adjusting the bearing play of components that are mounted such that they can rotate coaxially in relation to one another, which components are rotatably joined to one another via two roller bearings arranged at an axial distance to one another, is operatively connected to one of the two roller bearings by an end side, and is operatively connected to a counter bearing by the opposing end side. The device is formed by two rings that are arranged next to one another, in a coaxial manner on one of the components. The opposing end surfaces thereof each have at least one contour projecting from the plane of the end surfaces. At least one of the contours is provided with an incline on which the at least one opposing contour slides. One ring is operatively connected to the counter bearing by the other end surface, and the other ring is operatively connected to the roller bearing. A device for the mutual radial rotation and a device for the locking of the axially moving ring in the assumed axial position are provided on both rings.

A bicycle comprises front and rear wheels, a frame supported on the front and rear wheels and including a frame mount, and a battery including a battery mount engaged with the frame mount. One of the battery mount and the frame mount includes a depression and the other of the battery mount and the frame mount includes a boss positioned in the depression. Preferably, depression comprises a slot, and the slot can include a resilient material to securely hold the boss. The boss can comprise an eccentric boss. Preferably, the battery mount is positioned adjacent one end of the battery, and an opposite end of the battery includes an opening. In this embodiment, the bicycle further comprises a mounting pin positioned through the opening and through a portion of the frame to secure the opposite end of the battery to the frame.

An e-bike includes a frame assembly, wheels supporting the frame assembly, a motor assembly coupled to the frame assembly, and a battery coupled to the frame assembly. The battery includes a battery housing and a battery mount. The e-bike further includes a fastener coupling the frame assembly to the battery mount, and a resilient pad adjacent the battery mount, the resilient pad being compressed between the frame assembly and the battery housing.

A bicycle frame is discussed having a battery fully contained within a down tube of the bicycle frame. The battery may be inserted into or removed from the down tube via a through opening through a bottom bracket housing of the bicycle frame. Weakness in the bottom bracket housing due to the through opening may be compensated for, fully or partially, by utilizing a bottom bracket bearing assembly that has a structural component, or structural component assembly, that extends completely through the bottom bracket housing and removably couples to the bottom bracket housing.

A method of making a bicycle frame includes placing an impact resistant film into one or more portions of a bicycle frame mold. The method also includes placing a plurality of layers of carbon fiber into the bicycle frame mold. The method further includes applying heat to the bicycle frame mold to form a bicycle frame that has an exterior surface, wherein at least a portion of the exterior surface is covered by the impact resistant film.
