In this paper, we present the development of an intelligent bicycle which will be able to help the user achieve a more efficient exercise routine via the control of a DC motor. This project was developed in several stages, from the approach of the system's functions to the components that would conform to it in order to achieve a detailed concept that can meet the requirements correctly. The sector of the population that motivated the realization of this project and to whom it is mainly directed are all those who cycle in Mexico City and find their routines inefficient. Through the use of this bicycle, which has a heart rate measurement system, it is possible to monitor it to regulate the intensity of the exercise. It will be made possible by incorporating a motor that is activated as soon as it detects an elevated heart rate, which may mean that the user requires assistance or has to stop the exercise altogether. The results provide evidence that assisting the user does indeed help reduce overexertion. © 2023 IEEE.
