The chainring comprises a plurality of sprocket drive teeth having a profile corresponding to the profile of at least one of the teeth of each of the plurality of link elements.

A chain and an inner link plate for a bicycle chain having chain rollers is provided. A protrusion of the inner link plate in relation to the respectively assigned chain roller in a front lower longitudinal end region of an inner link plate outer periphery is reduced, in comparison to the protrusion in a front upper longitudinal end region and/or in a rear lower longitudinal end region of the inner link plate outer periphery.

A front sprocket assembly comprises a first sprocket and a second sprocket. The second sprocket includes a second sprocket body and a plurality of second sprocket teeth. At least one tooth of the plurality of second sprocket teeth includes a less chain-interference recess provided to the second axially inwardly facing surface. The less chain-interference recess is configured to reduce interference between the at least one tooth of the plurality of second sprocket teeth and a chain in an upshifting operation in which the chain is shifted from the first sprocket toward the second sprocket. The less chain-interference recess has a radially innermost end positioned radially inwardly from a tooth bottom circle of the plurality of second sprocket teeth. A radial distance radially defined from the tooth bottom circle to the radially innermost end with respect to a rotational center axis is equal to or larger than 1.0 mm.

A pedal crank drive having a pedal crank (12) and a chain ring (14), which can be connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner to form a unit (10), the unit (10) having a spindle hole (16) for a bottom bracket spindle. The chain ring (14) has a first connecting contour (18) and the pedal crank (12) has a second connecting contour (20), wherein the connecting contours (18, 20) can be fitted into one another in an assembly position, and the pedal crank (12) and the chain ring (14) can be rotated relative to one another around the spindle hole (16) to a stop position in which the stop surfaces (22, 24) of the pedal crank (12) and the chain ring (14) abut against each other.

A drive train for a human-powered vehicle comprises a drive unit, a sprocket arrangement, and a total gear range quotient. The drive unit includes a motor configured to impart propulsion to the human-powered vehicle. The sprocket arrangement is operatively coupled to the drive unit. The sprocket arrangement comprises a plurality of rear sprockets and a plurality of gear ratios respectively corresponding to the plurality of rear sprockets. The plurality of gear ratios includes a largest gear ratio and a smallest gear ratio. The total gear range quotient is obtained by dividing the largest gear ratio by the smallest gear ratio. The total gear range quotient is larger than 5.

A dual-motor driving device includes an input axle, a sleeve that is rotatable relative to the input axle, two rotors, a axle one-way clutch and a first rotor one-way clutch. Each of the rotors surrounds the sleeve. The axle one-way clutch is mounted between the input axle and the sleeve so that rotation of the input axle relative to the sleeve in a first rotating direction is prevented, and that rotation of the input axle relative to the sleeve in a second rotating direction opposite to the first rotating direction is permitted. The first rotor one-way clutch is mounted between the sleeve and one of the rotors so that rotation of the one of the rotors relative to the sleeve in the first rotating direction is prevented, and that rotation of the one of the rotors relative to the sleeve in the second rotating direction is permitted.

Chain-rings sets for power transmission systems, where at least one of the chain-rings is formed by independent segments provided with axial displacement means, where the segmentation is optimum both for shifts to a bigger chain-ring or a smaller chain-ring through a relative configuration between chain-rings, especially between the teeth involved in the power transmission during the shift, that ensure a smooth shift, efficient in the power transmission and reducing as possible the friction and the wear of the components.

A bicycle front shifting system includes operable to transmit a wireless signal, a crank assembly with two crank arms and a pedal on each of the two crank arms. The crank assembly is rotatable about a rotation axis. A front shift unit is coupled to the crank assembly and is rotatable about the rotation axis.
