An electric bicycle drive unit mounting arrangement (50) by which a mid-motor electric drive unit (30) is floatingly attached to a drive receptacle (21) of a bicycle frame (20), wherein the drive receptacle (21) comprises two mutually parallel frame-fixed and vertical frame flanges (211, 212), wherein a drive unit housing (34) comprises two parallel and vertical housing flanges (41, 42), wherein one housing flange (41) is attached to one frame flange (211) and the other housing flange (42) is attached to the other frame flange (212), defining a flange pairing, respectively, and wherein both flange pairings comprise respectively at least one rubber mount (80) by means of which the frame flange (211, 212) is connected to the associated housing flange (41, 42) in a floating and rubber-elastic manner, so that the housing flanges (41, 42) do not bear directly against the corresponding frame flanges (211, 212) in each case, but are spaced apart from the corresponding frame flanges (211, 212) by a spacing gap (58) with a gap dimension X of at least 0.3 mm.

A bicycle includes a frame, a storage compartment, a battery pack, a pedal assist unit, and a lighting system. The frame includes a head tube, a stem, a down tube, a central hub, and a pair of chain stays. The central hub defines an internal cavity. The down tube and the central hub cooperatively define a battery opening connected to the internal cavity. The storage compartment includes a door positioned to selectively enclose an opening in the down tube. The battery pack is releasably received by the battery opening. The pedal assist unit is disposed within the internal cavity. The lighting system includes one or more taillights integrated into the chain stays, a conspicuity lamp integrated into the head tube, and/or a headlight integrated into to at least one of the stem or the head tube.

A bicycle front derailleur is provided that can be easily coupled to a bicycle frame. The bicycle front derailleur includes a base member, a chain guide and a link mechanism. The base member is configured to be coupled to a bottom bracket hanger of the bicycle frame. The chain guide is configured to guide a chain. The link mechanism connects the chain guide to the base member to move the chain guide between a retracted position and an extended position. The base member includes a recess configured to accommodate a part of the chain guide in a state where the chain guide is located at the retracted position.

Bicycle sub-assembly with integrated anti-theft system, for providing a bicycle with an integrated anti-theft capability, the bicycle sub-assembly including a support frame for operatively receiving constituting component(s) of the bicycle, and a blocking assembly being operatively mountable onto the support frame, adjacent to a corresponding bore associated with the support frame for receiving a corresponding spindle of the bicycle, the blocking assembly having at least one blocking mechanism being operatively cooperable with said spindle, the blocking assembly being selectively operable by an authorized user of the bicycle between a first configuration where the at least one blocking mechanism allows the spindle to rotate along an intended mode of the bicycle, and a second configuration where the at least one blocking mechanism operatively interacts with the spindle to prevent it from rotating along the aforementioned intended mode of the bicycle, so as to impede an unauthorized use of the bicycle.

A bicycle assembly can have a main frame, a subframe, and a shock absorber. The subframe can move in relation to the main frame, and the shock absorber can be used to regulate that relationship. A linkage can be connected to the shock absorber, the main frame, and a chain stay of the subframe to drive the shock absorber as the subframe is moved with respect to the main frame.
