Abstract

Embodiments of hybrid sensor-enabled and autonomous electric wheels can include a plurality of systems and devices integrated into a single compact hub unit that can be retrofitted into numerous types of two-wheeled bicycles. In one embodiment, an electrically motorized bicycle wheel can include a wheel rim, a wheel hub having an electric motor, a battery pack and a control unit configured to control a drive torque of the electric motor, and a plurality of wheel spokes connecting the wheel rim to the wheel hub. The electric motor, the battery pack and the control unit can be positioned within the wheel hub of the electrically motorized bicycle wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present inventive concepts relate generally to hybrid sensor activated electric wheels, and more particularly to hybrid sensor activated and autonomous electric wheels and related systems such as energy regeneration systems, braking systems, torque sensing systems, control unit systems, and locking and alarming system. The inventive concept also relates to a multi-hub wheel spoke system and methods of manufacturing and installing the same. Background technique [0002] According to some statistics, the annual global production of bicycles is roughly 100 million units. Today, the industry appears to be experiencing steady growth, driven in part by the increasing use of bicycles for recreational and urban transport. In particular, worldwide application of electric bicycles or e-bikes is also showing rapid growth due to the urban population's awareness of the environmental impact of the fossil-fueled transportation industry and new regulations gover...
