Abstract
A charge system and a charge method adapted to a bicycle are provided. The charge system includes a hub dynamo, a power apparatus, a sensor and a control apparatus. The control apparatus is coupled to the hub dynamo, the power apparatus and the sensor. The sensor is adapted to sense a riding condition of the bicycle. According to the riding condition, the control apparatus selects a power supply pattern of the hub dynamo. When the power supply pattern is selected to be a stop pattern, a connection loop between the hub dynamo and the power apparatus is turned off by the control apparatus. When the power supply pattern is selected to a first pattern, the connection loop between the hub dynamo and the power apparatus is turned on by the control apparatus, such that the hub dynamo supplies power to the power apparatus at a first rate.
