An inner variable-speed hub with a built-in
electric motor, the hub comprising: an
electric motor module (8), an input member (3), an output member (1) and a mandrel (4), wherein the mandrel (4) is fixed to a frame; and the
electric motor module (8) is mounted on the mandrel (4) and is used for outputting a torque to the output member (1). The hub further comprises a transmission mechanism (7), a driving mechanism (5) and a gear shifting control mechanism (6), wherein the driving mechanism (5), the gear shifting control mechanism (6) and the transmission mechanism (7) are sequentially connected to each other and are all mounted on the mandrel (4); the input member (3) is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism (7), and is used for inputting the torque into the transmission mechanism (7); the output member (1) is connected to the transmission mechanism (7), and is used for outputting the torque to a wheel; the transmission mechanism (7) has at least two transmission ratios; the driving mechanism (5) drives, in a manual and / or automatic manner, the gear shifting control mechanism (6) to rotate to a specific angle, so as to change transmission relationships between components in the transmission mechanism (7), thereby changing the transmission ratios of the transmission mechanism (7). The inner variable-speed hub has two
modes, i.e., a manual variable-speed mode and an
automatic variable-speed mode, and an electric motor is used for providing assisting power, such that riding is easier and more convenient. Further comprised are a bicycle and a gear shifting control method.
