Abstract
This comprehensive review examines recent developments in electric bicycle (e-bike) technology, focusing on monitoring systems, power assistance algorithms, and open-source solutions. The paper looks at how simple speed and battery indicators have changed over time to more complex real-time tracking systems. It stresses how important it is for battery management, motor control, and intelligent power-assist algorithms to keep improving. Particular attention is given to open-source and open-hardware implementations, such as the Smart E-bike Monitoring System (SEMS), which have transformed data collection and analysis capabilities. The review explores the transformative effects of IoT integration, such as real-time data transmission and enhanced system interconnectivity, along with biometric monitoring for improved user interaction and safety. It also discusses the technical difficulties in integrating these systems and the need to address safety standards. The synthesis of findings demonstrates how e-bikes, through continued technological advancement and improved monitoring capabilities, are becoming an increasingly viable solution for sustainable urban mobility. At the end of the paper, it talks about possible areas for future research. These include better battery monitoring systems, smarter controllers, and more advanced ways to combine sensors, all of which could help e-bike technology get even better.
