  • Electric Power Generation Unit for a Bicycle, Drivetrain and Bicycle
    Publication number: 20250026441
    Abstract: An electric power generation unit for a bicycle comprises a pedal shaft with pedals and an electric generator with a rotor and a stator, wherein the axis of rotation of the rotor is arranged with a parallel offset to the pedal shaft. The electric power generation unit further comprises a gearbox configured to transmit torque from the pedal shaft to the rotor of the electric generator. The electric power generation unit further comprises a housing comprising at least the electric generator and the gearbox, and/or the axis of rotation of the rotor is arranged with a parallel offset to a powered wheel of the bicycle.

  • Method and device for starting a drive train
    Patent number: 10415675
    Abstract: In a method and a drive for starting a drive train, with a drive shaft (2), a drive motor (4) connected to an electrical grid (12) and with a differential gearing (3) with three drives and outputs, wherein one output is connected to the drive shaft (2), a first drive is connected to the drive motor (4) and a second drive is connected to a differential drive (5), the drive motor (4) is started from a rotational speed of zero or approximately zero while an external braking torque acts on the drive shaft (2), and the second drive is braked in an acceleration phase of the drive shaft (2).
