Abstract: A bicycle electric suspension comprises a first tube, a second tube, a positioning structure, an electric positioning actuator, and a telescopic controller. The first tube has a center axis. The second tube is telescopically received in the first tube. The positioning structure is configured to relatively position the first tube and the second tube in a telescopic direction extending along the center axis of the first tube. The electric positioning actuator is configured to actuate the positioning structure. The telescopic controller has a control mode in which the telescopic controller controls the electric positioning actuator to actuate the positioning structure, and a sleep mode in which power consumption of the telescopic controller is lower than power consumption of the telescopic controller in the control mode.
