Original Abstract Submitted
An electric bicycle includes an electric drive, at least one frame tube having an interior, an electrical energy store arranged in the interior of the frame tube, and a holding device configured to establish a connection between the electrical energy store and the frame tube. The frame tube in the interior has a receiving portion for receiving the electrical energy store. The holding device is configured to fix the electrical energy store in the interior to the frame tube and has no electrical contacts. Additionally, the holding device fixes the electrical energy store in the frame tube at least by a radial force, and the holding device is connected to the electrical energy store without a screw connection.
