The present disclosure provides a power assisted electric bicycle, a transmission device and a control method. The power assisted electric bicycle includes a body, a wheel, a torque sensor, a motor and a controller. The torque sensor is configured to output a plurality of torque signals corresponding to a pedal force. The controller is configured to: receive the torque signals from the torque sensor; compute and determine a first period according to a speed of the power assisted electric bicycle at a first time point; obtain a first maximum value of the torque signals in the first period that ends at the first time point; and, set a first torque output of the motor according to the first maximum value corresponding to the torque signal.

Power assisted electric bicycle, transmission device and control method

A power assisted electric bicycle includes a body, a motor, a torque sensor, and a controller. The motor is operated in an operating period. The torque sensor is configured to output a plurality of torque signals corresponding to a pedal force. The controller is coupled to the motor and the torque sensor. The controller is configured to: receive the torque signals from the torque sensor; determine a peak and a valley, which is adjacent to the peak, among the torque signals; compute and determine a pedaling period between the peak and the valley, which is adjacent to the peak, among the torque signals; and generate an error signal associated with the torque sensor if it is determined that the pedaling period and the operating period fail to meet a default ratio.
