Abstract
A battery boost converter system for a bicycle includes a bicycle frame and a motor mounted to the bicycle frame. The system also includes a battery mounted to the bicycle frame and configured to provide power to the motor. The system also includes a boost converter configured to receive a first output signal from the battery and to provide a second output signal to the motor. The boost converter is also configured to determine, based on an operating condition, whether to boost a voltage of the first output signal such that the second output signal has an increased voltage.
