Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that communicates with a wireless network via one or more wireless communication protocols, where the communication device is configured to manage communications between the wireless network and various components of the electric bicycle. The communication device can include a bicycle communications component that facilitates communications between the communication device and components of the electric bicycle, and a network communications component that facilitates communications between the electric bicycle and the wireless network.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that is integrated into a bike lock, lock, or lock assembly.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods determine that a mobile device associated with the electric bicycle is in contact with a mount disposed on the electric bicycle, and cause a lock assembly to unlock the electric bicycle in response to the determination that the mobile device is in contact with the mount.

Abstract: A frame for an electric bicycle, such as a long-tail electric cargo bicycle, is described. The bike frame, in some embodiments, includes cross members that connect a rear rack of the bicycle to a head tube of the bicycle via a seat tube of the bicycle. Via the multiple connection points, the cross members mitigate side to side movement, such as waggling, of the rear rack of the bicycle.

Abstract: Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.
