The safety of electrically assisted bicycles compared to classic bicycles
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2014Use of electrically assisted bicycles with a maximum speed of 25 km/h is rapidly increasing. This growth has been particularly rapid in the Netherlands, yet very little research has been conducted to assess the road safety implications. This case-control study compares the likelihood of crashes for which treatment at an emergency department is needed ...

Orthopaedic injuries among electric bicycle users
Injury, 2017The use of electric bicycles (E-bike) has dramatically increased. E-bikes offer convenient, environmental-friendly, and less expensive alternative to other forms of transport. However, E-bikes provide a new public health challenge in terms of safety and injury prevention.

Battery-powered electric bicycles
Proceedings of NORTHCON '94, 2002Electric bicycles powered with today's nickel-metal hydride batteries offer a 100 km range between recharges and have a potential of 300 km when polymer batteries become available. The author discusses the development of the electric bicycle, presents a mathematical model, and considers general requirements.

Range prediction for electric bicycles
Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Future Energy Systems, 2016Thanks to their affordability and practicality, electric bicycles (e-bikes) are becoming popular, especially in urban areas. They are a zero-emission and zero-carbon alternative to cars and therefore have a high potential to mitigate climate change. However, range anxiety can be a significant barrier to the adoption of electric vehicles.

Performance evaluation of electric bicycles
Fourtieth IAS Annual Meeting. Conference Record of the 2005 Industry Applications Conference, 2005., 2005Electric motor powered bicycles (short: "electric bicycles") have been making their way into the U.S. market for about two decades. Such electric bicycles can be used for a large variety of purposes. This paper gives a systematic, comprehensive, theoretically and experimentally based characterization of electric bicycles, and reports on the different ...

Battery powered electric bicycles and scooters, replacing the heavily polluting scooters with two-cycle internal combustion engines, provide zero-emission transportation for many parts of the world. Annual global sales of electric bicycles have risen from 36,000 in 1993 to over 500,000 in 1999 and to multi-millions today.

Electric bicycle transportation system
IECEC '02. 2002 37th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2002., 2005Bicycles offer extremely efficient, pollution-free transportation for urban and suburban areas, and the addition of electric drive eliminates the sweat, extends the range and helps older riders. However, we must recognize the problems that restrict ridership to a hardy few.

Electric bicycles - A performance evaluation
IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, 2007In this article, the term "electric bicycle" is used to describe "electric-motor-powered bicycles," including both fully and partially motor-powered bicycles. Here, the electric bicycle market would benefit from further research both on the battery and on the drive technology and their use with electric bicycles. In the United States, electric bicycles

Wireless Fleet Charging System for Electric Bicycles
IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, 2013This paper proposes a double coupled inductive system for multi-pickup systems which is intended for wireless charging of a fleet of electric bicycles. An intermediary coupler is introduced between the primary and pickup and operates as a switch, with the intention of turning on when the bicycle is present and turning off when the bicycle is absent to ...

Electrically assisted bicycles
2006This paper reports on work performed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel on Electrically assisted bicycles, first in the scope of the European E-TOUR-project, next in subsequent work in the continuation of this project. Three aspects of electrically assisted bicycles have been considered: the bicycles have been evaluated for commuting use throughout the ...
