Control system for electric bicycles

Abstract

[Solution] The present invention relates to a control system (1) for an electric bicycle (2), comprising a ride controller (3) set up to provide drive control of the electric bicycle (2), the drive control being based on a set of drive parameters, the drive parameters of one or more auxiliary modes being configurable by a user interface (7a, 7b).

Claims

1. A control system (1) for an electric bicycle (2) includes a driving controller (3) provided on the electric bicycle (2) and set up to provide drive control of the electric bicycle (2), The drive control is performed based on a set of drive parameters. The drive parameters for one or more auxiliary modes can be configured via the user interface (7a, 7b), The configured drive parameters are transmitted to the driving controller (3) by wireless communication. The drive control is performed by the travel controller (3) based on the transmitted set of drive parameters. The control system (1) is set up to perform automatic switching between different selectable auxiliary modes, so that the drive control after the switch is performed based on the set of drive parameters of the auxiliary mode after the switch. The automatic switching described above depends on at least one condition that can be configured by the user interface (7a, 7b). Control system.

2. The control system (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the control system is set up to receive and / or transmit the set of drive parameters belonging to an auxiliary mode through an interface (8a, 8b), the interface (8a, 8b) being an interface to a telecommunications network (9), a smartphone (5), or a server (10) of an online platform.

3. The control system (1) according to claim 2, characterized in that the drive parameters of the auxiliary mode received through the interfaces (8a, 8b) are not configurable by the user.

4. The control system (1) according to claim 2, characterized in that the control system (1) is set up to transmit an identifier describing the control system (1) via the interface (8a, 8b) before the set of drive parameters belonging to the auxiliary mode can be received or transmitted via the interface (8a, 8b).

5. The control system (1) according to claim 2, wherein the control system (1) is set up to deactivate or erase the set of drive parameters for the auxiliary mode received through the interface after a predetermined time period, and the predetermined time period is received as a dataset along with the drive parameters received for the auxiliary mode.

6. The control system (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the crank length and / or the driver's weight can be configured as the drive parameters through the user interface (7a, 7b), and the drive control is performed based on the configured crank length and / or the configured driver's weight.

7. The drive control is suitable for controlling the motor assistance provided by the motor of the electric bicycle (2), Motor assist is selected based on the configured crank length, and under a configured first crank length, stronger motor assist is provided than in the case of a relatively longer configured second crank length, and / or The control system (1) according to claim 6, characterized in that the motor assist is selected based on a configured weight, and under a first configured weight, a stronger motor assist is provided than in the case of a second configured weight.

8. The control system (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the operation parameters of the hill-start assist or push-walk assist can be configured as the drive parameters through the user interface (7a, 7b).

9. The control system (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that additional propulsion behavior can be configured as the drive parameter through the user interface (7a, 7b).

10. The control system (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that it recognizes the user's driving behavior when the electric bicycle (2) is being driven, and is set up to adapt the set of drive parameters or create a new set of drive parameters based on the recognized driving behavior.
