  • Publication number: 20220161891
    Abstract: A locking device for locking an energy supply unit of a bicycle including a holding element. The locking device configured to lock the energy supply unit to the holding element in a locking position, and for separation of the energy supply unit from the holding element, to permit movement of the energy supply unit from the locking position to an intermediate position, and to release the energy supply unit, disposed in the intermediate position, when the energy supply unit is to be separated from the holding element. The locking device includes a guide element adjustable between a clamping position, in which a clamping force is applied along a clamping direction to the energy supply unit, and a release position, in which movement of the energy supply unit from the locking position into the intermediate position along a direction of movement extending at an angle to the clamping direction.

  • Patent number: 11254388
    Abstract: A hybrid drive for an electric bicycle comprising a pedal crank drive that contains a pedal crank axle connected to pedal cranks at both ends, an electromotive drive electrically connected to an accumulator, which contains two electric motors that are connected to different transmission elements of a superposition transmission, which on the drive side is connected to the pedal crank drive and on the output side is connected to the sprocket of a chain drive of the electric bicycle recuperative electromotive braking of the electric bicycle with charging of the accumulator.

  • Patent number: 11242102
    Abstract: A driving device for an electric vehicle includes a pedal shaft, first and second electric motors, an output shaft, and a superposition transmission whose gear ratio is steplessly adjustable by way of the electric motors. The transmission also couples the pedal shaft and the output shaft to each other. A torque generated by the first electric motor and/or the second electric motor can be at least partially transmitted to the output shaft. The driving device further includes an electronic anti-theft device used to lock the bicycle. When locked, at least one of the electric motors is operable to generate a torque that counteracts a rotation of the pedal shaft in a forward direction of rotation to inhibit theft of the bicycle.
