Abstract

A driving control method for an electric bicycle includes: a starting step of supplying the electric power to the electric motor (41) of the electric driving unit (40) and the driving control unit (80) and making the electric bicycle ready to move using the electric power upon a start signal; a constant speed driving step of moving the electric bicycle at a constant rotational speed under the control of the electric driving unit (40), regardless of the pedaling power is provided; a constant speed driving releasing step of automatically discontinuing the constant speed driving step; and a slope skidding prevention step of preventing the electric bicycle from being pushed, in a moving direction or in an opposite direction to the moving direction when the electric bicycle starts and stops on a slope by applying a high load and a counter electromotive force to the electric driving unit (40) and the electric motor (41).
