  • Patent number: 12116083
    Abstract: A bicycle battery assembly comprises a bicycle frame tube, such as a down tube. A battery is adapted to be inserted through a battery opening in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle frame tube. For allowing for a simple fixing of the battery to the bicycle frame tube, in particular by means of screws, an installation aid is connected to the battery and/or the bicycle frame tube, in particular in the area of the battery opening. The installation aid allows for an easy installation since in particular screw holes in the bicycle frame tube are flush with threaded bore holes in the battery.

  • Patent number: 12071194
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a field of e-bikes that discloses a bicycle frame tube, which may be a down tube of a bicycle frame. The down tube includes at the bottom-bracket-side end a battery opening facing in the longitudinal direction of the down tube such that a battery can be inserted into the opening from below. Further, the battery may be switched on and off by a switch provided at the battery. The bicycle frame tube may include a switch opening such that a mechanical switch with an operating element may be arranged in the switch opening to mechanically actuate the on/off switch of the battery. Furthermore, a charging plug as well as a charging condition indicator may be provided at the lower end of the battery or the battery housing of the battery.
