Publication number: 20180251190Abstract: A bicycle configured for communication with other bicycles, a centralized server, client computing devices and third party servers allows the rider to be connected with friends, coaches/trainers, and third party vendors including vendors associated with lodging, food, and other conveniences, vendors associated with bike servicing, equipment, warranties, and other bike related products and services, and vendors associated with routes, areas or destinations. Information may be communicated in real time or stored in memory and communicated to servers, client devices, other riders, etc., at a later date. Information may be communicated to the bike controller for route planning, service scheduling, training purposes and the like. Information communicated to or from the bicycle may be performed as indicated by the rider or there may be predetermined rules or guidelines for what information is collected and to whom the information may be sent to or received from.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: David Barton Hancock, Christopher M. Vasiliotis, Brian Benjamin Sweet, Charles B. Lohr, Daniel J. Dawe, Eric Tanner, Jeremy Carter, Jeffrey A. Birchak, Wayne Leroy Contello, Russell Charles Whisler, Kevin Alan Gust, Matthew R. Bazyn

Publication number: 20180106349Abstract: An infinitely variable transmission (IVT) having a rotatable input shaft arranged along a longitudinal axis of the transmission. In one embodiment, the input shaft is adapted to supply a lubricant to the interior of the transmission. In some embodiments, a stator assembly is coupled to, and coaxial with, the input shaft. The IVT has a plurality of planets operably coupled to the stator assembly. The planets are arranged angularly about the longitudinal axis of the transmission. In one embodiment, a traction ring is operably coupled to the planets. The IVT is provided with a housing that is operably coupled to the traction ring. The housing is substantially fixed from rotating with the input shaft. The traction ring is substantially fixed from rotating with the input shaft. In some embodiments, the IVT is provided with a lubricant manifold that is configured to supply a lubricant to the input shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Matthew R. Bazyn, Jeremy Carter, Charles B. Lohr, Curtis Malone, Loren T. McDaniel, Peter D. Poxton

Publication number: 20170225742Abstract: A bicycle configurable for operating using a speed based control system and scheme or a torque based control system and scheme. A speed sensor or a torque sensor may detect an operating characteristic of the bicycle and a controller may determine whether to operate using a speed based control system and scheme or a torque based control system and scheme based on the operating characteristic. A signal from a speed sensor or a torque sensor may be used for determining the mechanical limits of a CVT range and when to incorporate an electric motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: David Barton Hancock, Christopher M.
