Abstract
A crankset includes a haptic feedback generator connected to the crankset and configured to deliver a resistive torque to the crankset. The crankset includes a haptic control unit that regulates the set rate by estimating a power applied to the pedal by rotating it and by decreasing or increasing the set rate so that said set rate increases with the power applied to the crankset.
Claims16
A crankset, comprising:
- means for estimating a rate of rotation of the crankset;
- a haptic feedback generator connected to the crankset and configured to deliver a resistive torque to the crankset;
- and
- a control unit connected to the haptic feedback generator and to the means for estimating the rotation rate of the crankset, configured to control the rotation rate of the crankset at a set rate by modifying the resistive torque;
- wherein the control unit regulates the set rate by estimating a power applied to a pedal by rotating the pedal and by reducing or increasing the set rate so that said set rate increases with the power applied to the pedal.
