An e-bike interface is a hybrid wired/wireless e-bike control system that integrates wireless bicycle components into operation of an e-bike. The e-bike interface provides a frame-mounted control and display that is wired to, for example, an assist motor and a battery, and provides a wireless communication bridge between wireless bicycle components and corresponding wireless controls located on a handlebar.

Interface for electric assist bicycle

An integrated bicycle control device has a handlebar portion of a bicycle handlebar assembly. The handlebar portion has a body with a gripping portion adjacent a distal end of the body and a transition portion spaced from the gripping portion. A compartment may be formed in the transition portion and an opening in the body may permit access to the compartment. An actuator is disposed near the distal end of the gripping portion. A control element and/or other elements or circuitry may be disposed within the compartment. The control device may include integrated accessory attachment structure.

Integrated bicycle control device

A control device for a bicycle is arranged or can be arranged on the handlebar of the bicycle and serves to wirelessly drive at least one electronic, electrical, electromechanical or electrohydraulic component of the bicycle. The control device includes an operator control arrangement which has at least one manually operable operator control element and is designed to respond to operation of the operator control element and to output electrical signals which represent the operation. The control device also includes at least one electronic circuit arrangement comprising a radio communication circuit and a control circuit which is connected or can be connected to the operator control arrangement. The control device also may include at least one antenna which is connected or can be connected to the radio communication circuit or which is integrated into the said communication circuit.

Control device for wirelessly controlling at least one component of a bicycle

An operating device for operating an electrical bicycle component includes a base element, an actuating element and a housing. The base element is configured to be non-rotatably mounted about a bicycle handlebar. The actuating element is rotatable relative to the base element from a neutral position to a first actuating position. The actuating element may be pre-loaded into the neutral position. A first electrical contact switch may be actuated when the actuating element is moved from the neutral position to the first actuating position.

An operating device for operating an electrical bicycle component includes an annular base element, annular actuating element and first electrical contact switch. The annular base element is configured to be non-rotatably mounted about a bicycle handlebar. The annular actuating element is rotatable relative to the annular base element from a neutral position to a first actuating position. The annular actuating element is pre-loaded into the neutral position. The first electrical contact switch is actuated when the annular actuating element is moved from the neutral position to the first actuating position to generate a first sensory feedback.
