摘要: A continuously variable transmission on a bicycle may be automatically configured with little or no assistance from a user. Optical scanning devices, RFIDs, and other information capturing technology can communicate with a controller. The controller may then perform a portion or all of a configuration process. In operation, a controller may determine that calibration is needed. A calibration process may be initiated and performed with little or no user interaction. A calibration process may account for a load, a power source, or an environment.

摘要: A sequential gear shift system for two-way operated speed change gear units of manually propelled vehicles. Mirrored, spaced-apart lever operators, are provided with increasing lever stroke ratio, and actuate sequentially with twin mirrored one-way multi-tooth rack-clutch mechanisms, that rapidly engage with a shift element and convert linear torque to rotate the shift element in diametrically opposite directions. The rack-clutch mechanisms may be disengaged from the shift element when returning to normal. The actuating may occur via independent hydraulic operation of an actuator. The actuator housing and load bearing axle of the speed change gear hub are selectively, releasably, and coaxially interconnected into a rigid gear system load bearing axle, and may be combined at any angle, and a shift direction is selectively reversible.

摘要: A system and method for simple transmission of a multi-speed bicycle is provided. A bicycle can have a transmission that can be toggled by a kickback shifting mechanism. A rear wheel hub can support a freewheel having a high speed gear sprocket and a low speed gear sprocket with dedicated chains to create dedicated gear-shifting. Rotating the pedal shaft in the non-drive direction approximately one-quarter rotation can toggle the transmission between the first gear ratio and the second gear ratio with a shifting surface that alternately allows driving engagement of the high speed gear sprocket with the rear wheel driver.

摘要: The present invention is a chain structure of bicycles, which comprises a plurality of rollers, a plurality of chain sheets and a plurality of chain rollers. Wherein the rollers define a mounting space. Each chain sheet comprises a chain body, a first pivot joint part extending from one end of chain body and to be arranged in the mounting space, a second pivot joint part horizontally extending from the other end of chain body, the second pivot joint part is installed on the roller with the first pivot joint part, wherein the first pivot joint part is in a horizontal position different from chain body, the first pivot joint part defines a rotation space for placing the second pivot joint part of another chain sheet, so that the first pivot joint part and second pivot joint part can rotate a preset angle in the rotation space. When the chain sheets are combined with rollers respectively, the chain bodies remain on the same plane, the chain roller penetrates the second pivot joint part and the first pivot joint part respectively for connecting the roller to the chain sheets on both sides of roller. Thereby, the chain is thinned and the weight is reduced, the tensile strength is increased by thickening the chain sheet.

摘要: A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, a mounting member, at least one fastening member, and a cover member. The sprocket body has at least one first threaded portion. The mounting member has at least one fastening hole configured to be aligned with the at least one first threaded portion in the assembled state. The at least one fastening member has a fastening shaft portion, a fastening head portion, and a second threaded portion. The second threaded portion is configured to threadedly engage with the at least one first threaded portion of the sprocket body in the assembled state. The cover member is configured to at least cover the fastening shaft portion of the at least one fastening member when viewed from an axial direction with respect to the rotational center axis in the assembled state.

摘要: Adjustable speed effort-saving bicycle, comprising a front wheel assembly, a rear wheel assembly, and a frame, the front wheel assembly and the rear wheel assembly mounted on either front or rear end of the frame, also comprising quad-connecting rod mechanism, a chain wheel, chain A, and a transmission mechanism converting rider weight into a rocking force. The quad-connecting rod mechanism is mounted on the frame. The chain wheel is on the frame and meshes with middle part of chain A. The chain wheel is connected to the rear wheel assembly via transmission apparatus. One end of chain A is connected to an output frame-connecting rod of the quad-connecting rod mechanism. A bent part extends from where the output frame-connecting rod joins the frame. Another end of chain A is connected to the bent part. A tensioner for tensioning chain A is between the bent part and the output frame-connecting rod.
