2. Bicycle performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance

   According to a study a human at 70 kg (150 lb) requires about 60 watts to walk at 5 km/h (3.1 mph) on firm and flat ground, [6] while according to a calculator at kreuzotter.de the same person and power output on an ordinary bicycle will travel at 15 km/h (9.3 mph), [7] so in these conditions the energy expenditure of cycling is about one-third ...

3. Kilometres per hour - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometres_per_hour

   Speed limit sign in the Republic of Ireland, using "km/h.". The SI representations, classified as symbols, are "km/h", "km h −1" and "km·h −1".Several other abbreviations of "kilometres per hour" have been used since the term was introduced and many are still in use today; for example, dictionaries list "kph", [3] [4] [5] "kmph" and "km/hr" [6] as English abbreviations.

4. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   Efficiency testing of bicycle gearing systems is complicated by a number of factors – in particular, all systems tend to be better at higher power rates. 200 W will drive a typical bicycle at 20 miles per hour (32 km/h), while athletes can achieve 400 W, at which point efficiencies "approaching 98%" are claimed. [23]

   At Conformity of Production Audits the upper limit on indicated speed is increased to 110 percent plus 6 km/h (3.7 mph) for cars, buses, trucks, and similar vehicles, and 110 percent plus 8 km/h (5.0 mph) for two- or three-wheeled vehicles that have a maximum speed above 50 km/h (31 mph) (or a cylinder capacity, if powered by a heat engine, of ...

7. Gearbox bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gearbox_bicycle

   A gearbox bicycle is a bicycle that uses a gearbox [1] [2] to convert torque and rotational speed from the power source, usually the rider's legs, to what is desired at the drive wheel. The gearbox is usually incorporated into the frame near the crank , and it may be used in addition to or instead of derailleur gears or a hub gear . [ 3 ]

8. Cyclocomputer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclocomputer

   In 1895, Curtis H. Veeder invented the Cyclometer. [1] [2] [3] The Cyclometer was a simple mechanical device that counted the number of rotations of a bicycle wheel.[4] [5] A cable transmitted the number of rotations of the wheel to an analog odometer visible to the rider, which converted the wheel rotations into the number of miles traveled according to a predetermined formula.

9. Harley-Davidson Sportster - Wikipedia

   The bike has a measured HP of 57.2 hp (42.7 kW) (rear wheel) and 64.4 lb⋅ft (87.3 N⋅m) (rear wheel) and a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h) and a wet weight of 564 lb (256 kg). [ 12 ] The Harley "Iron" was introduced in 2009 as a smaller-displacement version of the Nightster.
