Claim:
1. A modular systems package for a motorized bicycle, the modular systems package comprising: an electric motor operable to propel the bicycle; a sensor system operable to identify parameters indicative of one of torque or power applied by a user that propels the bicycle as well as parameters indicative of rotation of a set of pedals of the bicycle; and a control system in communication with the sensor system to continuously control the electric motor based on the identified parameters using a control law, wherein the control law or a gain of the control law can be changed while the motorized bicycle is in use, wherein the control law or the gain of the control law is determined based on a selected operational mode of the motorized bicycle or data from a sensor of the motorized bicycle, wherein the control system controls the electric motor by summing a set of input terms multiplied by a set of respective gains, and wherein the set of input terms include terms based on at least one of the identified parameters.
