HYBRID BICYCLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DRIVE MOTOR OF A HYBRID BICYCLE

摘要

The invention relates to a hybrid bicycle that is driven by means of muscle power and electrical energy, in particular a series hybrid bicycle comprising a generator whose torque can be set by means of a control device and dependent upon the construction is limited to a maximum generator torque, and also pedals that are connected to the generator so as to apply a pedal torque to the generator by means of a rider so as to drive the generator, and also a drive motor that is connected to a drive wheel of the bicycle so as to drive the drive wheel, and also a battery for supplying the drive motor.

1. A hybrid bicycle that is driven by means of muscle power and electrical energy, in particular a series hybrid bicycle comprising a generator whose torque can be set by means of a control device and dependent upon the construction is limited to a maximum generator torque, and also pedals that are connected to the generator so as to apply a pedal torque to the generator by means of a rider so as to drive the generator, and also a drive motor that is connected to a drive wheel of the bicycle so as to drive the drive wheel, and also a battery for supplying the drive motor, wherein the generator, the drive motor and the battery are electrically connected to one another, and also the control device that is embodied so as to determine the power of the generator that is generated by means of the pedals at the generator as a first rider power, wherein
the hybrid bicycle comprises a pedal rotational speed sensor, wherein the control device is embodied so as to determine a value for a pedal rotational speed when achieving or exceeding the maximum generator torque by means of the pedal torque and to determine a second rider power by way of a first predetermined function in dependence upon the value of the pedal rotational speed, wherein the control device is embodied so as to determine from the sum of the first and the second rider power a total rider power and to control the drive motor so as to apply a drive power that is set by means of a second predetermined function in dependence upon the total rider power.
