I am having a real tough time determining the torque required to power an electric motor used to drive a cycle. I have calculated the Torque as:
Torque = μ X mg X r(radius of the wheel)
Now I am confused as what is μ. I know it's the coefficient of friction but, not sure whether I have to consider the coefficient of static or rolling friction.
I have taken a considerable amount of time to found the Torque formula and now this is one small step that I am having a hard time deal with it as many sources seems to take different stand on the values.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
