Automated Bicycle
The project is a third-party instalment on any 6-gear bicycle as an external kit that extends the abilities of a regular bike significantly, namely adding a large motor as well as an automatic gear shifting system to relieve the user from pedaling and shifting gears all the time when commuting every day. Another feature is the ability for the bike to cruise at a user-defined speed to further relax responsibilities from the user. The autonomous bike also has an “Assistive” mode which senses when the user is pedaling, and gives him a little push from the motor, as well as having autonomous gear-shifting while in this mode of operation.
