Abstract This paper presents an analytical process for studies regarding the structural design [7-9] and kinematic predicting the mechanical efficiency of bicycle internal analysis [10, 11] of internal drive hubs were proposed over drive hubs composed of planetary gear mechanisms. An the past few years. In contrast, the evaluation of mechanical existing 14-speed internal drive hub is introduced and is efficiency of an internal drive hub has received relatively taken as an example to demonstrate the analytical process. little attention. The systematic analysis process for guiding Kinematic analysis, static torque analysis, power flow mechanical engineers to calculate the mechanical efficiency analysis and mechanical efficiency analysis of this internal of a bicycle internal drive hub is still not available. In this drive hub are illustrated by applying the fundamental circuit study, the analytical process for determining the mechanical method. efficiency of internal drive hubs is introduced.
