  • Publication number: 20240400156
    Abstract: A control system for e-bike including a sensor and a driver is disclosed. The sensor senses a pedal of the bike being pedaled to generate a sensing signal. The driver continuously identifies whether the sensing signal matches with an unlocking condition during a first time-duration and whether the sensing signal matches with a mode-determination condition during a second time-duration. The driver controls the e-bike to enter a normal operation mode where a motor of the e-bike is unlocked when the sensing signal matches the unlocking condition, controls the e-bike to enter a standby mode when the sensing signal matches the mode-determination condition under the normal operation mode, or controls the e-bike to return to the normal operation mode when the sensing signal matches the mode-determination condition again under the standby mode.
