Overview
Thanks to their electrical support, e-bikes offer a USP which allows even seniors and sporty inactive people to ride longer distances in any terrain. Although e-bikes require a minimum amount of physical energy, they can hardly be called training devices. In this research project, we want to prove that the e-bike can act as an enabler by making it possible for seniors to use it as a sports device through its motor support. Pedal support and the gear ratio will be adjusted adaptively to the riders' fitness level. This will be made possible by the development of an adaptive heart rate control system and intelligent training and route planning.
