[0010] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are illustrated in accompanying drawings. The embodiments described herein with reference to drawings are explanatory, and used to generally understand the present disclosure. The embodiments shall not be construed to limit the present disclosure.

[0011] A method for controlling fitness of an electric power-assisted vehicle of embodiments of the present disclosure includes:

[0012] A1: an exercise mode is determined according to a fitness goal, and the exercise mode is one of an interval mode, a climbing mode, anaerobic mode, and a recovery mode. For example, a user can confirm the fitness goal based on his / her own condition. Specifically, for some users with good physical ability, they can carry out muscle building training, endurance training, etc., and for some users with poor physical ability, they can carry out some physical recovery training, etc.

[0013] In conjunction with their own conditions, the fitness goal may include a time goal, an intensity goal, etc., where the time goal may be a duration of training, a duration of each training period, etc. The intensity goal may be an adjustment of a size of a power assist intensity during riding, and the power assist intensity may be adjusted specifically by adjusting an output power of a motor.

[0014] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the four exercise modes in an order of the power assist intensity from low to high, are: the climbing mode, the interval mode, the aerobic mode, and the recovery mode. When using, the user can choose the corresponding exercise mode from these four modes according to his / her own needs.

[0015] A2: an operation instruction is triggered according to the exercise mode determined. For example, the electric power-assisted vehicle may be provided with a button, a toggle, a touch screen and other operation modules that can realize operation control. After the user determines the specific exercise mode according to his / her own needs, the user can trigger the operation instruction through the operation module, so that it is convenient to switch the exercise state of the electric power-assisted vehicle to the corresponding exercise mode.

[0016] Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the electric power-assisted vehicle may include a main control console, the main control console includes a display screen, a user interface 1 is displayed in the display screen, the climbing mode 3, the interval mode 2, the aerobic mode 4, the recovery mode 5 may be displayed through the user interface 1, and the four exercise modes may be switched freely on the user interface 1 through the operation module.

[0017] A3: the electric power-assisted vehicle is switched to the exercise mode determined based on the operation instruction. For example, the operation module may be a button, when the user presses the button, the corresponding operation instruction may be generated, and the control device with control function such as a processor can switch the exercise state of the electric power-assisted vehicle to one of the four exercise modes by itself based on the operation instruction.

[0018] A4: an exercise report is generated and a feedback is provided to the user. Specifically, each exercise mode has a certain duration, when the exercise mode completes the corresponding time and ends, the control device can combine the specific parameters in the exercise process to generate the exercise report of this exercise, the exercise report generated may be displayed on the display screen of the electric power-assisted vehicle, and can also be sent to a mobile phone, watch, tablet computer and other terminals of the user by wireless transmission. Thu, it is easy for the user to access, and also facilitates the user to adjust the follow-up fitness manner according to the report content.

[0019] In some embodiments, an exercise reward is provided to the user after the completion of the exercise mode determined. Specifically, after the user completes the above-mentioned exercise mode once, a system can give the user some exercise rewards, which may be virtual product rewards or physical rewards, to encourage the user to do more fitness exercises.

[0020] In some embodiments, providing the exercise reward to the user includes following steps.

[0021] B1: the exercise mode is graded according to an exercise intensity. Due to the different power assist intensity of the four exercise modes, the exercise intensity corresponding to the four modes is also different, that is, the exercise mode may be divided into four levels, among which the exercise intensity of the climbing mode may be regarded as the highest, followed by the interval mode, the aerobic mode and the recovery mode.

[0022] B2: the user is provided with different exercise rewards according to the grading. Specifically, due to the different physical strength and energy consumed by the user in different exercise modes, compared with the exercise mode with high power assist intensity, when the user completes the exercise mode with low power assist intensity, the user can obtain the exercise reward of higher value, which is conducive to encouraging the users to continue training.

[0023] In some embodiments, the exercise reward includes at least one of: a virtual medal, a prize, a skin, or a point. For example, the exercise reward may be a point, and the user can accumulate points and finally redeem corresponding products on the corresponding mall platform, and can also achieve some deductions on the price.

[0024] In some embodiments, the exercise report includes at least one of: fitness data, fitness effect evaluation, follow-up fitness suggestion, and ranking in a chart.

[0025] Specifically, the fitness data can include data such as the number of times the user pedals and the distance traveled. The fitness effect evaluation may include oxygen consumption, human calorie consumption, fat consumption, etc. The follow-up fitness suggestion can include whether to increase or decrease the exercise intensity, adjustment of exercise time, etc.

[0026] In some embodiments, each exercise mode includes a warm-up stage, an exercise stage, and a relaxation stage in sequence. The setting of the warm-up stage can make the user have a certain buffer before officially entering the exercise, to avoid the damage to the human body, and the relaxation stage can relax the limbs of the user after fitness, which is conducive to alleviating the discomfort caused by exercise.

[0027] In some embodiments, a power assist in the warm-up stage of the interval mode, the climbing mode, and the aerobic mode gradually decreases, and the power assist in the warm-up stage of the recovery mode remains constant.

[0028] Specifically, the interval mode, the climbing mode, and the aerobic mode can all have a certain amount of power assist when starting, and an initial power assist intensity of these modes may be different, but the power assist intensity in the warm-up stage of these exercise modes gradually decreases over time, for example, the power assist intensity may be reduced to zero, or it may be reduced to a low power assist value, to play the role of warm-up buffer.

[0029] Compared with the warm-up stage of the above three modes, the power assist in the warm-up stage of the recovery mode can remain unchanged, so that the riding state always has a certain amount of power assist, to meet the usage needs of the users with poor physical function for recovery training.

[0030] In some embodiments, in the exercise stage of the interval mode, a power assist intensity of the electric power-assisted vehicle changes in size in stages.

[0031] For example, the interval mode may be a HIIT mode, which mainly achieves a high-intensity interval training of the user by adjusting the power assist ratio. Specifically, after the warm-up stage with a duration of 3 min, the user can enter the exercise stage with a duration of 20 min and 30 s, in which the power assist intensity may be changed in stages of sudden high and low levels (which may be achieved by adjusting the output power of the motor), so that the user can quickly burn fat in long-term high-intensity interval exercise. After the exercise stage is over, it can end with a relaxation stage of 1 min and 30 s.

[0032] In some embodiments, in the exercise stage of the climbing mode, the power assist intensity of the electric power-assisted vehicle changes periodically, and in each period, the power assist intensity changes from low to high.

[0033] For example, the climbing mode may be tri-peak mode, which is designed to provide an authentic and challenging climbing experience while ensuring safe and effective training with proper warm-up and relaxation.

[0034] Specifically, the warm-up stage of the 3 min with power assist gradually weakened may be carried out at the beginning of the climbing mode, and then the exercise stage of 25 min simulating a hill climbing exercise may be entered, in the exercise stage, the power assist intensity may be gradually increased, so that the live environment of the slope gradually becoming steeper in the climbing process may be simulated, and it should be noted that, in the exercise stage, the change of the power assist intensity is periodic, that is, the power assist intensity is gradually increased periodically, so that in a period, the exercise intensity gradually decreases. After the exercise stage is over, it can finally end with a relaxation stage of 2 min.

[0035] In some embodiments, a power assist intensity of the electric power-assisted vehicle in the exercise stage of the aerobic mode is weaker than a power assist intensity of the exercise stage in the climbing mode, and in the exercise stage of the aerobic mode, the power assist intensity remains unchanged in a set period.

[0036] For example, the aerobic mode may be the an aerocycle mode, which is mainly suitable for situations on the way to work or daily travel, using the low power assist ratio to adjust within a small range, so that the user can carry out a certain period of time and a certain intensity of aerobic riding.

[0037] Specifically, the power assist intensity of the climbing mode may be high power assist intensity, while the power assist intensity in the exercise stage of the aerobic mode may be medium or low power assist intensity, that is, weaker than high power assist intensity.

[0038] The warm-up stage of 3 minutes with power assist gradually weakened may be carried out at the beginning of the aerobic mode, and then the exercise stage of 25 minutes for aerobic exercise can be entered, in the exercise stage, the power assist of the electric power-assisted vehicle can always be maintained at a medium power assist intensity. After the exercise stage is over, it can finally end with a relaxation stage of 2 min.

[0039] In some embodiments, an initial power assist intensity of the electric power-assisted vehicle in the exercise stage of the recovery mode is higher than a power assist intensity in the exercise stage of the aerobic mode, and a change amplitude of the power assist intensity of the electric power-assisted vehicle in the exercise stage of the recovery mode is less than a power assist intensity in the exercise stage of the climbing mode.

[0040] For example, the recovery mode may be easeback mode, which is mainly suitable for the user who is introductory to cycling / exercise recovery / physical disability, and uses a medium-level power assist ratio to achieve the effect of fitness and relaxation without too much effort.

[0041] Specifically, the recovery mode can first carry out a warm-up stage of 3 min with consistent power assist, and then can enter the exercise stage of 14 min for recovery exercise, in the exercise stage, the power assist intensity may be high initially, and then can gradually decrease over time, but the decline is small, and the power assist intensity of the entire exercise stage should always be above the medium power assist intensity. After the exercise stage is over, it can finally end with a relaxation stage of 1 min and 30 s.
