Abstract
A motor-assisted bicycle powered by both a motor and man power with a transmission reduction mechanism for transmitting the rotation of a motor as well as for reducing speed. The motor-assisted bicycle also has a driving wheel capable of being driven by a driving force delivered from the transmission reduction mechanism and a clutch for transmitting a one-way driving force. The clutch is provided within the transmission reduction mechanism, thereby making the entire driving portion of the motor-assisted bicycle more compact.
