Abstract:
A drive train for a human-powered vehicle comprises a drive unit, a sprocket arrangement, and a total gear range quotient. The drive unit includes a motor configured to impart propulsion to the human-powered vehicle. The sprocket arrangement is operatively coupled to the drive unit. The sprocket arrangement comprises a plurality of rear sprockets and a plurality of gear ratios respectively corresponding to the plurality of rear sprockets. The plurality of gear ratios includes a largest gear ratio and a smallest gear ratio. The total gear range quotient is obtained by dividing the largest gear ratio by the smallest gear ratio. The total gear range quotient is larger than 5.
