  • Abstract
    In this paper various methods of ergonomics improvement in electric bicycle pedaling are discussed. The main goal is to control an average amperage of generator powered by a cyclist, but considering the unsteadiness of human legs torque vs. angular position of the support. In the paper, four different approaches for generating the current reference trajectory are compared - two of them use only position signal, and the next two use also velocity signal in the ergonomic improvements calculations.
