The objective is +to eliminate the need for a microcontroller by relying exclusively on discrete MOSFETs and standard electronic +components, thereby improving repairability, accessibility, and ease of local manufacturing. + +Second, a high-performance controller based on Field-Oriented Control (FOC) is developed using an STM32 microcontroller +platform. This implementation leverages and adapts the open-source VESC firmware to ensure compatibility with the +selected hardware while enabling advanced motor control capabilities. + +Third, the security of the wireless communication interface is investigated, with a focus on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) +vulnerabilities. A Flipper Zero device is used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate potential attack surfaces and identify +weaknesses in the communication layer. + +Finally, a dynamic model of the bicycle–cargo system is developed to improve rider experience. +The objective is to minimize the perceived additional effort when towing a cargo cart. This is achieved through a +PID-based (Proportional–Integral–Derivative) control strategy combined with distance sensing, allowing adaptive +assistance based on system dynamics. \section{Software and Connectivity}
