Autonomous electronic bicycle safety constraints based on inferred rider characteristics

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of:

• configuring an autonomous electronic bicycle to operate in a rider-controlled mode, the autonomous electronic bicycle comprising:
• a frame coupled to a front wheel and a rear wheel;
• an electronic drive motor configured to drive one of the front wheel and the rear wheel responsive to rider input;
• a set of handlebars coupled to the fork and configured to change an orientation of the front wheel in response to movement of the handlebars by a rider;
• and
• one or more performance sensors;
• determining, using the performance sensors, one or more rider characteristics of the rider of the autonomous electronic bicycle;
• and
• altering a set of operation parameters of the autonomous electronic bicycle based on the determined rider characteristics by:
• determining a safety constraint based on the one or more rider characteristics;
• and
• configuring the electronic drive motor to operate in a performance-constrained mode based on the safety constraint.
