A driving device and a driving method for an electric assisted bicycle are provided. The driving device includes a motor, a rotation speed sensor, a torque sensor and a controller. The rotation speed sensor senses a rotation speed value of a crank or a chainring of the electric assisted bicycle. The torque sensor obtains an average torque value applied by the crank to the chainring of the electric assisted bicycle. The controller controls an output of the motor in response to the rotation speed value and the average torque value.

An information providing device 1 of a motorcycle includes: an image acquisition section 10 that acquires an image of a road; a lane detection section 12 that detects a lane from the image and detects a radius of curvature of the detected lane and a lateral distance from the host vehicle to the lane; a host vehicle trajectory curvature calculation section 14 that calculates a radius of curvature of a host vehicle trajectory on the basis of the radius of curvature of the lane and the lateral distance; a vehicle speed acquisition section 16 that acquires a vehicle speed of the host vehicle; an inclination angle calculation section 18 that calculates an inclination angle of the host vehicle on the basis of the radius of curvature of the host vehicle trajectory and the vehicle speed.

A bicycle configurable for operating using a speed based control system and scheme or a torque based control system and scheme. A speed sensor or a torque sensor may detect an operating characteristic of the bicycle and a controller may determine whether to operate using a speed based control system and scheme or a torque based control system and scheme based on the operating characteristic. A signal from a speed sensor or a torque sensor may be used for determining the mechanical limits of a CVT range and when to incorporate an electric motor.

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.

The invention relates to a control system for a vehicle and to a method for controlling a vehicle using such a control system. The control system has a mobile input and analyzing device, a holding device for the input and analyzing device, and means for actuating electronic components and for detecting state information of the vehicle. The aim of the invention is to maintain low production costs for the control system and to allow a wide use with different vehicles. This is achieved by analyzing the state information obtained by the means and by generating control signals for the electronic components in the mobile input and analyzing device.
