  • Pedal activity sensor and methods of pedaling analysis
    Patent number: 10900986
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining bicycle pedaling may include a sensor that detects the angular velocity and/or position of a drivetrain or rear sprocket assembly of the bicycle The apparatus may determine values indicative of pedaling. The apparatus may be configured to be housed within a component of the bicycle, such as within a hollow opening of the spindle or crank axle. The apparatus also may include a wireless transmitter to communicate with another component, such as a suspension controller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021

  • Pedal activity sensor and methods of pedaling analysis
    Patent number: 10416186
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining bicycle pedaling may include a sensor that detects the angular velocity and position of a drivetrain or rear sprocket assembly of the bicycle and a processor that is configured to compare the detected values against values indicative of at least one pedaling state. The apparatus may be configured to be housed within a component of the bicycle, such as within a hollow opening of the spindle or crank axle. The apparatus also may include a wireless transmitter to communicate with another component, such as a suspension controller.
