A securing system for securing an electric bicycle (104, 444) to a bicycle docking frame, the securing system comprising: a female connecting assembly mountable on the bicycle docking frame, the female connecting assembly having: an electrically insulated body having inwardly facing opposed sidewalls defining a tapered recess; and first current coupling elements each positioned in a respective one of the opposed sidewalls; and a male connecting assembly mountable on the electric bicycle, the male connecting assembly having: an electrically insulated tapered body having opposed sidewalls converging towards each other and being sized to be received within the tapered recess of the female connecting assembly; and second current coupling elements; the first current coupling elements is raised from their respective surfaces of the opposed sidewalls; characterized in that: the first current coupling elements have a spherical or elliptical shape; the female connecting assembly further comprises biasing assemblies positioned in a respective one of the opposed sidewalls, each biasing assembly having one of the first current coupling elements, and a biasing element urging the first current coupling element outwardly to protrude from the sidewall, and an electrical connector for connecting the current coupling element to a current source; each second current coupling element being received in a respective one of the opposed sidewalls, the interfacing surface of the second current coupling element is concave to cooperate with the spherical or elliptical shape of the first current coupling elements and each second current coupling element being positioned to electrically interface with a corresponding first current coupling element upon the electrically insulated tapered body of the male connecting assembly being received within the tapered recess of the female connecting assembly; and when cooperatively interfaced with one another, the portion of the first current coupling element protruding from opposed sidewalls of the female connector body is received within the concave recess of the second current coupling element, and the first current coupling elements are urged towards their corresponding second current coupling elements from a biasing force provided by the biasing element of its biasing assembly such that the interfacing of the first current coupling elements and second current coupling elements provides both a physical coupling and an electrical coupling, thereby causing the male connecting assembly and female connecting assembly to be temporarily secured to one another. an electrically insulated body having inwardly facing opposed sidewalls defining a tapered recess;
