Smart e-bikes

This EPSRC-funded research project whose full title is ‘Understanding how commuters and communities engage with electrically-assisted cycling’ is led by Dr Frauke Behrendt with Dr Sally Cairns and Dr David Raffo.

This project focuses on electrically-assisted bicycles – also known as pedelecs and e-bikes – that have a small electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery to help propel machine and rider. The amount of assistance reduces with increasing speed and cuts out altogether once the rider reaches 25kmph, or if pedalling ceases.
