Abstract
Disclosed is a training system for providing fitness training to a user riding an e-bike. The training system includes a motor system attached to a rear wheel of the e-bike and a detachable training stand for raising the rear wheel from the ground to allow the user to ride in various terrain modes from a stationary position. The motor system includes a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, an axle, a memory unit configured in the stator assembly to store set of instructions and plurality of terrain modes for riding the e-bike, and a bi-directional communication unit attached to the stator assembly for receiving terrain modes and other commands over the communication network. The motor system further includes a processing unit coupled to the memory unit and configured in the stator assembly for processing the set of instructions to: receive the terrain mode for setting the motor system over the communication network through the bi-directional communication unit in real time and change the motor quadrant of operation in the real time depending upon the received terrain mode. The motor system further includes a free-hub assembly attached to the rotor assembly, a free-hub spacer rotates proportionally with the pedaling speed of the user, free-hub produces a pattern for sensing pedaling speed and pedaling direction and a magnetic sensor configured on the axle for processing the pattern of pedaling speed and pedaling direction received from the free-hub magnets. The processing unit processes the information from the magnetic sensor to derive the power generated by the user during pedaling.
