The German firm Schaeffler has created a new bike control system. The development completely excludes transmission to the circuit, mechanical energy will be converted into electrical energy.
The technology will usher in a new era of electric bicycles. In addition to changing the method of power transmission, the torque efficiency will also be increased, as well as mechanical losses will be leveled. When the medals are twisted, the driver will drive the generator, thereby converting mechanical energy into electricity. Thus, moving parts such as a chain or gimbal will be unnecessary.
If excess energy is produced when pedaling, the remainder can accumulate in the battery. The accumulated surplus will allow the vehicle owner to more efficiently cope with uphills and other difficult road sections.
First of all, the technology will become relevant for cargo bicycles, where bulky structures are currently used. Also, the solution will reduce the cost of vehicle maintenance and improve safety.
