<p>In order to provide an electric assist bicycle capable of performing a smooth electric assist traveling with a good feeling by generating an assist force having high follow-up characteristics even on an uphill road, the following control is carried out. A pedaling force F L , a bicycle speed V, a crank angle ¸, a start angle ¸s, a maximum pedaling force angle ¸m0, and an end angle ¸e0 are detected (step 350). An assist force is calculated from the pedaling force F L and the bicycle speed V (step 352), and a motor control is performed (step 354). A determination is made whether the bicycle is traveling on an uphill road based on the pedaling force F L and the crank angle ¸ during performing an assist action (step 356). During it is determined that the bicycle is traveling on the uphill road, a re-calculation of an uphill assist force and the motor control are carried out on the basis of the pedaling force F L , the bicycle speed V, and the crank angle ¸ when the crank angle reaches a angle for starting applying an uphill assist force (affirmative determination at step 358) (step 360).</p> |
