A amalgam agent is a agent that uses two or added audible ability sources to move the vehicle. The appellation best frequently refers to amalgam electric cartage (HEVs), which amalgamate an centralized agitation agent and one or added electric motors.2010 Hybrid Car Vehicle type
Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles
Mopeds and electric bicycles are a simple anatomy of a hybrid, as ability is delivered both via an centralized agitation agent or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Aboriginal prototypes of motorcycles in the backward 1800s acclimated the aforementioned principles.
* In a alongside amalgam bike animal and motor ability are mechanically accompanying at the pedal drive alternation or at the rear or the advanced wheel, e.g. application a hub motor, a roller acute assimilate a tire, or a affiliation to a caster application a manual element. Animal and motor torques are added together. Almost all bogus models are of this type. See Motorized bicycles, Mopeds and for added information.
* In a alternation amalgam bike (SH) the user admiral a architect application the pedals. This is adapted into electricity and can be fed anon to the motor giving a chainless bike but additionally to allegation a battery. The motor draws ability from the array and charge be able to bear the abounding automated torque appropriate because none is accessible from the pedals. SH bicycles are commercially available, because they are actual simple in access and manufacturing.
The aboriginal accepted ancestor and advertisement of an SH bike is by Augustus Kinzel (US Apparent 3'884'317) in 1975. In 1994 Bernie Macdonalds conceived the Electrilite SH failing agent which acclimated ability electronics acceptance adorning braking and pedaling while stationary. In 1995 Thomas Müller advised a "Fahrrad mit elektromagnetischem Antrieb" in his 1995 authority apriorism and congenital a anatomic vehicle. In 1996 Jürg Blatter and Andreas Fuchs of Berne University of Applied Sciences congenital an SH bike and in 1998 army the arrangement assimilate a Leitra bike (European apparent EP 1165188). In 1999 Harald Kutzke declared his abstraction of the "active bicycle": the aim is to access the ideal bike belief annihilation and accepting no annoyance by cyberbanking compensation. Until 2005 Fuchs and colleagues congenital several ancestor SH tricycles and quadricycles.
