Abstract
The paper describes a performance and environmental analysis of an innovative e-bike by means of a dynamic model equipped with a suitable control for the management of the assisted drive of the e-bike. The main advantage of this approach consists of the opportunity to simulate different tracks, e-bikes characterized by different parameters (total mass, wheels moment of inertia) and different control strategies. The authors have also conducted an environmental analysis of the studied vehicle, particularly comparing the e-bike with a thermal moped, in terms of environmental impact.

Funding
Starting from these considerations, in the last years experimental investigations on 2-wheel vehicles emissive behaviour have been executed by the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Naples “Federico II” in the Istituto Motori emission laboratory (National Research Council). This research has been financially supported by MIUR (Ministero Istruzione Università e Ricerca) under the grant named PON04a3_00408 "Bicicli e Tricicli elettrici a pedalata assistita di nuova generazione”.
