Abstract

A motorized wheel assembly for use in an electric bicycle with an electric motor (202) that provides rotational force to the wheel assembly. An electronic circuit (203) may communicate with the electric motor (202). The bicycle may include a control unit having a transmitter for emitting a wireless signal to a receiver that is in communication with the electronic circuit. In some cases, a battery (201) for the motor of the wheel is located on a rotatable portion of the wheel.
