2015 Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium, 2015
In the past decade there has been a substantial growth in numbers of commuters who are bicycling to and from work. Despite this fact, the most popular method of transportation in present-day society is the use of automobiles. One possible explanation for the fact that most commuters prefer automobiles to bicycles is that automobiles provide a level of ...

Electric-bicycle propulsion power
Proceedings of WESCON'95, 2002In a human-powered hybrid electric vehicle (HPHEV) the travel distance available from a single battery charge can be lengthened with power from another source, the cyclist`s leg muscles. In a battery-powered electric bicycle the propulsion power goes mostly into overcoming aerodynamic drag.

Cooperative control of electrical bicycles
IFAC Journal of Systems and Control, 2021Abstract Electric bicycles provide an electric supportive power in addition to the physiological pedalling power of the driver. Electric bicycles thus allow for activities like group rides with people having different degrees of physical fitness. In a group ride, however, each driver would need to adapt the level of electromotive support power (i.e ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation Bicycle Ergometry
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1989Forty-seven patients who had participated in a clinical electrical stimulation ergometry program were administered a questionnaire to determine their perceptions of the therapy. Improved endurance was reported by 62% of paraplegics and 65% of quadriplegics. Sixty-two percent of paraplegics and 56% of quadriplegics reported improved self-image, while 54%

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.
