Abstract

The invention relates to an electric drive for bicycles, comprising two symmetrically arranged external-rotor type counter-rotating motors which are fed via two separate motor actuators/regulators that obtain the same control signal for power regulation purposes. The motors are mounted in an oscillating manner about an axis which is parallel, in particular substantially parallel, to the motor axis but offset with respect to the motor axis in a lateral manner, in particular in a parallel manner.
