An electrically-operated two wheeled vehicle provided with a swing unit which pivotally supports a drive wheel WR. The swing unit includes: a first rotary electric machine having a first rotor; a second rotary electric machine having a second rotor; and a planetary gear mechanism which combines a rotational drive force of the first and second rotors to each other and transmits a product of rotational drive forces to a drive wheel WR in a state where a rotational speed is increased. The first and second rotary electric machines are arranged parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle such that an axis Ax 2 of the second rotor is positioned in front of an axis Ax 1 of the first rotor along the vehicle body. This arrangement prevents a height position of a lower surface of a swing unit from becoming excessively low.

The conversion of a bicycle into an electric tricycle provides a stable means of travel which does not require it to be continuously in motion to remain upright. A person can stop and remain on the tricycle without dismounting or supporting the bicycle. It also provides a means of riding a converted bicycle to those not able to ride a conventional bicycle. The tricycle is an inexpensive means of electric transportation that would reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions in densely populated areas. 1. Creating a rear axle rod and pipe assembly to provide a stable upright position.2. Construct front wheel brackets to accommodate electric wheels currently on the market.3. Replace the pedals of a bicycle with a foot rest consisting of threaded rod , nut , washer , and rubber tube assembly.4. Create a front brake bracket providing added braking power to replace loss of rear brakes after conversion. Not ApplicableNot applicableNot ApplicableThe invention being submitted pertains to the field of mechanical engineering and environmental sustainability. It was developed as a method of utilizing an already existing electric wheel hub to create a stable form of transportation when incorporated with an existing bicycle frame using the proposed conversion kit. The Electric Tricycle Kit would enable the use of a cleaner mode of transportation that would not emit the carbon monoxide particulates of a gas powered engine. The kit provides a stabilizing design that provides the rider with the safety and ease of riding that has not been available in other electric bicycles. The existing electric motor that is incorporated into the wheel hub of a bicycle was designed to convert a bicycle into an electrically powered mode of transportation reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. The speed and the extra weight of the electric motor added to the front of the bicycle make it difficult to control and balance.The proposed design changes and additions to a bicycle frame allow the ...

Automatic traction control for friction drives

Номер: US20180265167A1
Автор: Jeffrey E. Guida
Принадлежит: ShareRoller LLC

The disclosure relates to improved friction drive systems, control algorithms for friction drive systems, and automatic traction control for friction drive systems. Embodiments of friction drive systems and methods may improve control over an amount of normal force between a contact surface on a friction drive (e.g., disposed on a drive motor) and a tire or wheel of a wheeled vehicle. Embodiments of friction drive systems and methods may dynamically adjust the normal force between the contact surface and the tire or wheel in response to rapidly changing conditions, such as weather, road surface, and/or tire inflation. Embodiments of an automatic traction control system may adjust the normal force to avoid slippage while minimizing tire wear and maximizing battery efficiency. Embodiments of friction drive systems and methods may allow a user to calibrate or adjust the amount of normal force delivered based on their preferences or based on a selected mode of operation.
