Hello everyone,
My brother and I are designing an electric motor for a bicycle (just for fun). Assuming a 200 lb person rides the bike, there is a normal force on each wheel of 100 lbs. We forgot the formulas related to rotational motion and power (watts, horsepower, torque) for this situation (finding the wattage required to turn the wheel at a certain rate carrying a person of that weight). Thanks!
