  • Publication number: 20240239438
    Abstract: An electronic component for a bicycle includes a processor configured to receive data from a sensor, determine a first speed and a second speed of the bicycle based on a subset of the received data, and determine an acceleration of the bicycle based on the determined first speed and the determined second speed of the bicycle. The processor is further configured to compare the determined acceleration of the bicycle to a predetermined threshold acceleration, and control the bicycle based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20240092457
    Abstract: The disclosure describes an electromechanical rear derailleur for coaxial mounting on a rear wheel axis. The rear derailleur has a base member, a pivot mechanism, a movable member having a chain guiding arrangement, and an electromechanical drive for driving the pivot mechanism. The pivot mechanism connects the base member to the movable member. The chain guiding arrangement is connected to the movable member for rotation about an axis of rotation. The base member comprises a first connection end, which can be mounted coaxially with the rear wheel axis, and a second connection end for coupling with the pivot mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11845515
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical derailleur for mounting on a rear wheel axis. The derailleur has a stationary element, a pivoting mechanism, a movable element having a chain guide arrangement, and a gearing housing. The gearing housing receives an electromechanical drive for driving the pivoting mechanism. The stationary element defines a housing void in which the gearing housing is disposed, and has a fastener for a power source. The power source is fastened to the stationary element such that said power source is electrically connected to the electromechanical drive in the gearing housing.

  • Patent number: 10106224
    Abstract: A front derailleur device for a bicycle chain shift includes a frame fixing part for attachment to a bicycle frame, a hinge arrangement which is pivotable relative to the frame fixing part, and a chain cage which is pivotable relative to the frame fixing part via the pivotable hinge arrangement for guiding and pivoting of the bicycle chain. The hinge arrangement includes at least two hinged struts which can be mounted rotatably relative to the frame fixing part and relative to the chain cage about pivot axes. The pivot axes run substantially parallel to each other and, in a mounted state of the derailleur device on a bicycle, may be oriented substantially vertically.
