For example, in an electric bicycle equipped with a rear-drive hub motor, the central shaft and the rear-drive hub motor are connected through a chain (and sprocket) transmission, the two ends of the central shaft are connected to cranks, and the ends of the cranks are connected to pedals.

[0003] According to the description of the electric bicycle chain transmission mechanism and electric bicycle (authorization announcement number: CN217864566 U) disclosed on the patent website, "The utility model discloses an electric bicycle chain transmission mechanism, which cancels the original flywheel of the rear wheel, and adopts an integrated arrangement of the rear sprocket and the output end of the rear wheel motor, and at the same time adds a middle shaft flywheel connected to the five-way middle shaft at the center of the front sprocket. Compared with the existing technology, under the premise of unchanged transmission function effect, the process of pre-installing the flywheel on the rear wheel in advance is cancelled, and the production line working hours are reduced, thereby solving the problem of the existing electric vehicle sprocket transmission mechanism that the flywheel needs to be pre-installed on the rear wheel motor in advance, thereby increasing the workload of the operator and extending the operation cycle. The utility model also proposes an electric bicycle including the above-mentioned electric bicycle chain transmission mechanism, the electric bicycle has a normal transmission function, and at the same time, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned electric bicycle chain transmission mechanism, the electric bicycle is simpler and more time-saving in assembly operation compared with the existing technology."

[0004] In view of the above description, the applicant believes that there are the following problems:

However, the chain may break due to excessive dryness after being used for a long time, which affects its use. Secondly, when replacing and installing the chain, the rear sprocket needs to be disassembled to complete the installation, which is rather cumbersome. If it is directly forced to be installed, it is rather difficult and prone to breakage, which may also hurt people's hands.
