Abstract

A control system for controlling an electric bicycle is provided, which includes an electric bicycle, an information processing unit, a monitoring device, an input device, and a display. The electric bicycle and the information processing unit exchange information with each other, and the information includes operation data on the electric bicycle, control data for the electric bicycle, exercise programs. The monitoring device monitors bodily condition of a bicycle rider, and communicates the monitored data with the information processing unit and the electric bicycle. Operations of the electrical bicycle are controlled by collected information and data. The operations of the electric bicycle include a power output level, gear shift, RPM, speed, and acceleration, and the operations of the electrical bicycle are controlled so as to keep a heart rate of the bicycle rider at a target heart rate.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling and communicating with an electric bicycle, and more particularly to the system capability to communicate with an electric bike or other human powered machine for the purposes of bi-directional exchange of information.[0002]Electric bicycles or other electric assisted vehicles allow a rider to ride where they would not normally be able to go. Stationary exercise bikes allow for riders to adjust the workout based on heart rate. Heart rate is used by many exercise programs and coaches as an accurate guideline to the work intensity performed by the person exercising. A person may adjust their exercise level to be able to raise or lower their heart rate, as monitored by a heart rate monitor, but in many circumstance, a person may encounter a hill where it is difficult to maintain their desired target heart rate.[0003]In this invention, the microprocessor in the electric bike or outside ...
