Abstract
In an embodiment an electric bicycle includes a bicycle frame with a frame section and a battery holder arranged on the frame section and having two retaining lugs configured to hold a battery on the frame section in a form-fitting manner, wherein the battery holder is configured such that—in a first assembly step—the battery is placeable against a first retaining lug and subsequently—in a second assembly step—is pivotable against the frame section such that the battery comes into engagement with a second retaining lug and is thereby held on the bicycle frame in a form-fitting manner.
Claims18
An electric bicycle comprising:
- a bicycle frame with a frame section;
- and
- a battery holder arranged on the frame section and having two retaining lugs configured to hold a battery on the frame section in a form-fitting manner,
- wherein the battery holder is configured such that—in a first assembly step—the battery is placed against a first retaining lug and subsequently—in a second assembly step—is pivoted against the frame section such that the battery comes into engagement with a second retaining lug and is thereby held on the frame section in the form-fitting manner,
- wherein the second retaining lug is resiliently configured for locking the battery,
- wherein the battery has a recess or an opening into which the second retaining lug—in the second assembly step—engages for a form-fitting engagement with the battery, and
- wherein the recess or the opening is arranged at an outer side of the battery facing away from the frame section so that the second retaining lug is actuatable and unlockable from the outer side, thereby allowing the battery to be removed.
A battery holder comprising:
- two retaining lugs connected by a web and configured to hold a battery on a frame section of an electric bicycle,
- wherein a first retaining lug is designed such that—in a first assembly step—the battery is placed against the first retaining lug and subsequently—in a second assembly step—is pivoted against the web such that the battery comes into engagement with a second retaining lug for holding the battery on the frame section,
- wherein the second retaining lug is resiliently configured for locking the battery,
- wherein the battery has a recess or an opening into which the second retaining lug—in the second assembly step—engages for a form-fitting engagement with the battery, and
- wherein the recess or the opening is arranged at an outer side of the battery facing away from the web so that the second retaining lug is actuatable and unlockable from the outer side, thereby allowing the battery to be removed.
An electric bicycle comprising:
- a bicycle frame with a frame section;
- and
- a battery holder arranged on the frame section and having two retaining lugs configured to hold a battery on the frame section in a form-fitting manner,
- wherein the battery holder is configured such that—in a first assembly step—the battery is placed against a first retaining lug and subsequently—in a second assembly step—is pivoted against the frame section such that the battery comes into engagement with a second retaining lug and is thereby held on the bicycle frame in the form-fitting manner,
- wherein the battery holder is one piece and the two retaining lugs are connected via a web,
- wherein the web comprises two mounting sections configured to be fixed to the frame section,
- wherein the web comprises a center web section between the mounting sections, and
- wherein the center web section extends at a distance from the frame section so that an intermediate space is formed between the frame section and the center web section.
