Claim 0:
1. An electric bicycle, comprising:
a frame having a head tube, down tube, top tube, and seat tube;
a front wheel attached to the frame via a fork connected to the head tube;
a rear wheel attached to the frame via a dropout assembly of the frame;
an electric motor mounted to the rear wheel that propels the electric bicycle;
a battery pack mounted to the frame of the electric bicycle that provides power to the electric motor;
a controller that controls operations of the battery pack of the electric bicycle and the electric motor of the electric bicycle;
one or more sensors attached to the frame of the electric bicycle;
multiple lighting devices mounted to the frame of the electric bicycle; and
an automatic lighting system stored in memory of the controller, the automatic lighting system having multiple hardware modules, including:
a bicycle context module that determines a ride context associated with an environment through which the electric bicycle is traveling,
wherein the bicycle context module determines an unsafe location context for the environment through which the electric bicycle is traveling by:
transmitting location information for the environment to a server that manages a group of electric bicycles that includes the electric bicycle; and
receiving, from the server, an indication that the environment is currently an unsafe location for bicycles based on a time-weighted average of potential hazard events that previously occurred with other electric bicycles of the group of electric bicycles; and

a lighting module that:
selects one or more lighting devices based on the ride context of the environment through which the electric bicycle is traveling; and
causes the electric bicycle to perform a lighting action for the electric bicycle using the selected one or more lighting devices that is based on the ride context associated with the environment through which the electric bicycle is traveling.
