<p>A bicycle with a power assisting function has an electric motor (4) for adding part of propulsive forces to manual forces to assist in the manual forces, a battery (13) for supplying electric energy to the electric motor (4), a treading force detecting circuit (3) for detecting manual forces applied as propulsive forces, and a control circuit (12) for controlling operation of the electric motor (4) depending on the magnitude of detected manual forces. The electric motor (4) is operable as an electric generator with extra manual forces for utilizing part of regenerated electric energy to charge the battery (13). <IMAGE></p> |
