BICYCLE TORQUE SENSOR AND CALIBRATION THEREFOR

Abstract: pedelec with an electric drive unit () for driving at least one wheel () of the pedelec (), a battery () for supplying the drive unit () with electrical drive energy, a torque sensor () for detecting a rider torque applied to a pedal crankshaft () by a rider, and a pedelec controller () with a motor control module () which controls the assistance power of the drive unit () as a function of the rider torque recorded by the torque sensor (), and a calibration module () for calibrating the torque sensor (), which is configured to start a calibration process when the driven wheel () is stopped, the pedal crankshaft () is stopped, and an average deviation (ao, au), referred to a mean value (m), of the torque signal (t) of the torque sensor () is below a predefined maximum value (mo, mu) over a predefined time period (t).
