  • Publication number: 20240179767
    Abstract: An electronic component for a bicycle includes a communication interface and a processor in communication with the communication interface. The processor is configured to identify a first power on time. The first power on time identifies a time at which the electronic component was powered on by a power source of the bicycle. The processor is configured to listen for one or more messages after the electronic component is powered on and receive, via the communication interface, a message of the one or more messages. The received message is from another electronic component of the bicycle and identifies a second power on time. The second power on time is for the other electronic component. The processor is configured to compare the second power on time to the first power on time and initiate, based on the comparison, pairing of the other electronic component with the electronic component.

  • Publication number: 20240109618
    Abstract: An energy storage device for a bicycle includes a housing, a plurality of battery cells, a battery management system, and a charge controller disposed in the housing, a battery contact connection and a charge port, separate and spaced apart from the battery contact connection. The charge port may include a DC charge port and a USB C charge port. A bicycle including an energy storage device, and a method of charging an energy storage device are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240107264
    Abstract: A controller device for a bicycle includes a communication interface configured to receive a signal from another controller device. The controller device also includes a sensor including an ultra-wideband radio. In response to the received signal, the sensor is configured to determine a distance between the controller device and the other controller device using the ultra-wideband radio. The controller device also includes a processor in communication with the sensor. The processor is configured to initiate an action of the controller device or an electronic device in communication with the controller device based on the determined distance.

  • Publication number: 20230415845
    Abstract: An electronic component for a bicycle includes a processor configured to receive first data from a first sensor configured to sense at least one sensed element disposed about a bicycle wheel as the sensed element rotates through a proximal region of the first sensor. The processor is further configured to receive second data from a second sensor. The second data is different than the first data. The processor is configured to determine a first speed based on a subset of the received first data when the sensed element is within the proximal region of the first sensor, and determine a second speed based on a subset of the received second data and the first speed when the sensed element is not within the proximal region of the first sensor.
