AI Technical Summary
Cyclists face difficulties in safely securing their bicycles at traffic lights due to the lack of suitable bicycle racks and the need to repeatedly dismount and remount, especially on wet roads, which can be hazardous.
An electronic bicycle stand with a planetary transmission motor and electromagnet mechanism that allows the stand to be lowered and raised, providing stability and ease of use by controlling it through buttons for 'Down', 'Stop', and 'Green' signals, ensuring the bicycle remains stable during traffic lights.
The electronic bicycle stand enhances cyclist safety and convenience by allowing bicycles to be securely parked without dismounting, motivating more people to cycle by simplifying the process of adhering to traffic regulations.

Abstract
Description
[0001] More and more people are using bicycles as a means of transport. Of course, cyclists must obey traffic regulations. They must stop at red lights. At green lights, they may continue. Cyclists must dismount, remount, dismount, and remount. On wet roads, cyclists must carefully choose a dry spot to keep their feet dry. This is annoying for cyclists.
[0002] To date, there is no solution to this problem. The German Road Traffic Act (StVO) does not require bicycle racks.
[0003] This problem is solved with the invention specified in claims 1, 2 and 3. The problem underlying the invention is to create an electronic bicycle stand.
[0004] Clicking the "Down" button on the control panel turns on the power in the electromagnet and planetary gear motor. The attractive force of the electromagnet pulls the upper part of the bracket's leg together. The lower part of the leg opens. The bike stand moves downward under its own weight and the driving force. After clicking the "Stop" and "Green" buttons, the bike stand brakes and sends a "green" signal to the LED on the control panel. The bike stand can now provide immediate stability to the bike and cyclist, allowing the cyclist to remain seated at a red light without dismounting.
[0005] Clicking the "Up" button on the control panel turns on the power to the planetary gear motor. The bike stand is moved upwards by the drive force. This torque opens the lower part of the bracket's leg. After clicking the "Stop" button, the bike stand is secured in the bracket again by the pressure of the tension springs.
[0006] This problem is solved with the features listed in protective sprays 1, 2 and 3.
[0007] The invention ensures that cyclists can recover better when they stop, which means that more and more people are motivated to cycle.
[0008] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Fig. 2-1 to 2-3 are explained. They show: Fig. 2-1- The electronic bike stand is in the holder Fig. 2-2 - The electronic bike stand leaves / enters the holder. Fig. 2-3 - The electronic bike stand is outside the bracket
[0009] The figures show the bracket 12 with leg 13, electromagnet 14, and voltage fields 15. The bicycle stand 5 is shown with cylinder 6, bicycle rod 7, compression springs with bushing 8, and height-adjustable wheel 9.
