A method and a device for controlling an additional electric or motor drive of a vehicle that can be driven at least partially by the rider using a pedal drive. To derive the control of the drive, at least one first rotational movement variable is detected that represents the rotational movement of the pedals or the pedaling movement of the crank performed by the rider. The first rotational movement variable can be detected by one or more sensors. The drive is controlled or regulated dependent on a second rotational movement variable that is derived from the first rotational movement variable. At least one time constant that influences the follow-up time of the actuated or regulated drive is taken into consideration in addition to the first rotational movement that represents the pedaling movement of the rider. The time constant used may be varied to calculate the second rotational movement variable.

A control integrated structure of an electrically assisted bicycle includes a battery management system, a controller and a motor. The battery management system includes a battery assembly and an analog front end. The analog front end is electrically connected to the battery assembly. The controller includes a micro controller unit and a driver. The micro controller unit is electrically connected to the analog front end. The driver is electrically connected to the micro controller unit. The motor is electrically connected to the driver and controlled by the driver. The micro controller unit of the controller is directly electrically connected between the analog front end of the battery management system and the driver, thereby enabling the micro controller unit to control the motor via the driver.

A motorized bicycle training wheel system for training people to ride a bike without pedaling includes a pair of motorized training wheels each comprising an attachment bracket, a motor, and a wheel. The attachment bracket has an attachment aperture to receive an axle of a bicycle. The motor has a motor housing coupled to a lower portion of the attachment bracket. The wheel is coupled to a drive shaft of the motor. A battery is in operational communication with the motor of each of the pair of motorized training wheels and coupled to a frame of the bicycle. A throttle is in operational communication with the battery and the motor of each of the pair of motorized training wheels and coupled to a handlebar of the bicycle.

A motor unit, which is an example of an embodiment, includes a motor including a motor shaft, a rotor fixed to the motor shaft, and a stator, and a control board, the control board being disposed with at least a part of the control board overlapping the motor when viewed in a motor axial direction. A sensor that detects a magnetic field of the motor shaft, the rotor, or a rotating body rotating together with the motor shaft, and a control element that controls the motor using detection information of the sensor, are mounted on the control board. The control board includes a signal line that connects the sensor and the control element. The signal line includes an arcuate wiring section bent to be convex in a radial direction outer side of a circle centering on a shaft core of the motor shaft.

Disclosed is a system for controlling Classes of an eBike. The eBike having a motor and a motor controller. The system includes a server, a dashboard and an input unit. The server stores Classes instructions to operate the eBike in one of the one or more Classes. The dashboard includes a memory unit for storing motor instructions, a processing unit for processing the stored motor instructions to operate the motor under the instructions from the server, a display unit for displaying the processed instructions and the Classes instructions, and a bi-directional communication unit to communicate with the server. The input unit wirelessly communicates with the server. The Classes instructions includes a Classes display module to display the one or more Classes and a Classes module for allowing a user to select one of the one or more Classes via the input unit. The processed motor instructions are communicated to the motor via the motor controller to ride the eBike in the selected Class.

An electric power-assisted bicycle, comprising: a torque sensor for detecting pedaling force applied to the pedal; an inclination angle sensor for detecting rocking of the bicycle body in a lateral direction; an electric motor that assists drive of a drive wheel driven by pedaling of the rider; and a controller that controls the electric motor based on the pedaling force. The controller has a first mode and a second mode as control modes of the electric motor. The second mode is executed when the controller determines that the rider pedals the bicycle while rocking the bicycle body in the lateral direction. The controller executes different control in the second mode from that in the first mode to assist the drive of the drive wheel.

A bicycle controller is configured to communicate with a first bicycle component that transmits a first wireless signal and a second bicycle component that transmits a second wireless signal. The bicycle controller includes an interface configured to receive the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal. The first wireless signal has a center frequency that is a first frequency. The second wireless signal has a center frequency that is a second frequency. The second frequency differs from the first frequency.
