To provide an electric bicycle using a spokeless hollow wheel hub wheel that lowers the center of gravity of the entire vehicle, reduces unspring weight, reduces the probability of axial and radial deformation and out-of-roundness of the wheel set, reduces the influence of lateral wind, strengthens aerodynamic fluidity, reduces energy loss, improves running performance and power transmission, and prevents people or objects from getting caught in the spokes and being injured or damaging the vehicle, and also has a more intuitive structure, high assembly efficiency, and convenient inspection and repair. [Solution] In an electric bicycle that uses a spokeless hollow wheel hub wheel, the rim assembly of the spokeless hollow wheel hub wheel includes a rim with a tire fitted around its outer edge, and the wheel hub assembly includes a left wheel hub component and a right wheel hub component, the left wheel hub and the right wheel hub adopt a spokeless hollow ring structure, the left wheel hub and the right wheel hub are fitted together and spliced ​​opposite each other, and are fitted and fixed to the inner edge of the rim via a left bearing and a right bearing, respectively, and the supporting connection of the left bearing and the right bearing makes the left wheel hub and the right wheel hub a fixed part of the wheel, and the tire and rim assembly a rotating part of the wheel.

The present invention relates to a mobility assistance device for motorcycles comprising a rotary driving element (1), moved by a motor that is actuated by means of an activation element and powered by a power source, such that the driving element (1) is attached by means of a structure (2) to the motorcycle chassis by means of a driving means, the structure (2) being movable between a position in which the driving element (1) rotates in contact with the wheel of a motorcycle, and a position further away in which the driving element (1) is separated from the wheel.

A continuously variable transmission system for a vehicle, particularly a bicycle, is provided to assist a user in defining and controlling the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission. The user can define one or more speed ratios in a profile configuration that the user can select again in a subsequent ride. The user can select a profile configuration and become familiar and comfortable with the cadence and effort associated with the speed ratios of the profile configuration. The user can select among multiple profile configurations to change the operation of the continuously variable transmission without having to change any components of the transmission. The user can also select among operating modes, including a continuously shifting mode, a manual shifting mode, an automatic shifting mode, a learning mode, and / or a mapping mode.
