Abstract: An electronic control module (46) for coupling a pedal mechanically powered electric generator (28) and a battery (44) to a motor controller (48) of a watercraft propulsion motor (32), comprising: an electrical input operatively connected to the generator (28); a processor with a memory having an output operatively connected to the motor controller (46), said processor being operationally selectable by a user to one of multiple modes so that the processor being is configured to: in a first mode, combine power from the generator (28) with power from the battery (44) to power the motor (32); in a second mode, combine power from the generator (28) with partial power from the battery (44) to power the motor (32); and in a third mode, transfer power from the generator (28) to charge the battery (44).

Abstract: An electric bicycle having an electric motor mounted to a frame of the bicycle and which includes a motor output shaft defining an output end engaging a drive chain of the bicycles drive train to transmit the drive of the electric motor thereto. A torque sensor includes a base mounted in fixed relation to the frame and/or the electric motor. The torque sensor has a flexible arm extending from the base and a sensing member mounted to an extremity of the flexible arm that is displaceable relative to the base. The sensing member engages the drive chain along a segment thereof and is displaceable thereby. The segment of the drive chain extends from the output end of the motor output shaft to the pedal crank of the drive train.
