Determination of torque distribution ratio for electric bicycle with independently driven front and rear wheels

Abstract

Determining the torque distribution ratio for electric bicycles with independently driven front and rear wheels is important. Both wheels should be driven properly to ensure the safety of riders, and the slip ratio, which indicates the slip state, should be the same for both wheels. In this paper, a method to determine the torque distribution by making the slip ratios of both wheels equal is proposed. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments.
