Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to design a torque sensorless controller for a human-electric hybrid bicycle. The human input torque is estimated using the disturbance observer to design the controller for electric motor to assist the cyclist based on the requirement. The closed loop stability is ensured for various assist condition as per the standard. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed technique.
