  • Unitary power module for electric bicycles, bicycle combinations and vehicles
    Patent number: 6516911
    Abstract: A wheeled vehicle comprises a frame having a steerable front wheel having an axle affixed to a front portion of said frame, and a hub rear wheel having an axle affixed to a rear portion of said frame. A unitary power module is used as a propulsion system, which includes a target sprocket and a mounting frame, with the target sprocket comprising a disk shaped assembly having an center opening to allow the unitary member to be placed about the wheel axle. The target sprocket mates to the hub (or axle) of either of the wheels to enable target sprocket to be concentrically attached to the wheel by engagement with the wheel by securing elements. The mounting frame may be aligned with and rotatably attached to the target sprocket to allow for aligned rotation of the target sprocket about the wheel axle.

  • Unitary power module for electric bicycles, bicycle combinations and vehicles
    Patent number: 5937964
    Abstract: An electric bicycle comprises a frame having a rider seat and propulsion controls positioned and thereon, a settable front wheel having an axle affixed to a front portion of said frame, and a hub spoke rear wheel having an axle with a woven spoke pattern affixed to a rear portion of said frame. A unitary power module, which may be a "kit" for use with a standard bicycle, is used as a propulsion system which includes a battery affixed to said bicycle, and an electric motor having a pinion sprocket affixed thereon. The electric motor is suitable to be connected to the battery by a battery cable. The unitary power module includes a target sprocket and a mounting frame, with the target sprocket comprising a disk shaped assembly having an center opening to allow the unitary member to be placed about the wheel axle. The target sprocket mates to the wheel pattern of either of the wheels to enable target sprocket to be concentrically attached to the wheel by engagement with the wheel by securing elements.
