摘要： A drive unit for a bicycle includes a housing, a first speed reducer including an input shaft and an output shaft coaxial with each other to reduce rotation transmitted from an electric motor, a power transmission to which rotation of the output shaft of the first speed reducer is transmitted, and a second speed reducer to change a direction of an axis of rotation transmitted from the power transmission. The housing includes a single cylindrical first housing to support the first speed reducer and the power transmission without any housing other than the first housing being interposed therebetween.

摘要： An ebike comprises a front wheel, a rear wheel, a frame structure supported on the front wheel and the rear wheel, a crank assembly, and a battery assembly. The frame structure can include a front fork supported on the front wheel, a head tube coupled to the front fork, and a down tube extending downward and rearward from the head tube, the down tube defining a down tube axis and being open at its lower end. The crank assembly can be supported by the frame structure and can be rotatable about a crank axis that is spaced rearward from the down tube axis. The battery assembly can be at least partially secured in the down tube in an installed position and can be slidable into the down tube from the lower end of the down tube along the down tube axis.

摘要： A coaxial mid-drive power device of a bicycle includes a reducing structure and a hollow shaft motor engaged with the reducing structure that are disposed in a motor base. An output end of the reducing structure is operatively coupled with a one-way bearing bracket with a sprocket base via a one-way bearing. A crank spindle engaged with the one-way bearing bracket through another one-way bearing penetrates through the motor base. The two one-way bearings respectively have opposite rotation directions and are respectively located on different sides, i.e., an inside and an outside, of the one-way bearing bracket. A strain gauge disposed on the crank spindle is electrically connected to an annular conductive rail assembly engaged with the crank spindle and an elastic sheet assembly on a control circuit board in the motor base, hence the strain gauge could directly obtain a change in a torque of the crank spindle.

摘要： A frame for a pedal driven vehicle, the frame having a first portion that defines an open channel. The frame includes fixture points for releasably securing a drive assembly having a crank axle to the frame, such that the drive assembly can be secured in the open channel, via the fixture points, so as to define an operational crank axis of the drive assembly. The frame defines one or more compartments for receiving a battery, so that the battery can be arranged in communication with the drive assembly for the transfer of motive power from the battery to the drive assembly (i.e. for driving the crank axle) whilst the battery is located in the compartment. The drive assembly is moveable in and out of the open channel in a movement which is in a non-axial direction of the channel.

摘要： A drive unit of a vehicle includes a motor and a crankshaft mechanically coupled by a transmission and located within a housing. The transmission includes a first gear wheel rotatable about a motor axis and a second gear wheel rotatable about a crank axis. The housing includes a first fastening region and a second fastening region, configured for fastening the drive unit to a frame interface of the vehicle, wherein, in a cutting plane through the drive unit and orthogonally to the crank axis, a longitudinal axis is defined that intersects the crank axis and the motor axis, and a first line is defined that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and tangential on an outer circumference of the motor, and wherein the first fastening region has a first center point arranged on the first line or on a side of the first line facing away from the crank axis.
