Page 18: Mechanical Detail
Cadence sensor The Evo-Drive™ cadence sensor measures the rider’s pedaling speed, translating it into an electrical signal that is read by the motor controller. Inside the sensor, a large sprocket is driven by the rotation of the bicycle’s crank. This sprocket is connected with a belt to the spindle of a small electric motor, which acts as a generator, outputting voltage that directly corresponds to the rider’s pedaling cadence. -
