1. A method for controlling an electrically motorized human-powered vehicle for exercise and rehabilitation, the method comprising:
- measuring, using a sensor system, parameters indicative of energy exerted by a user that propels the electrically motorized human-powered vehicle; and
continuously controlling a motor of the electrically motorized human-powered vehicle to supply assistance or resistance to the user; and
modifying the assistance or resistance based on the parameters measured by the sensor system and an exercise regimen, a training target, or simulated effects of at least one of aerodynamic forces, rolling resistance, and a type of terrain while the electrically motorized human-powered vehicle is in use.

Abstract
A system, method, and device for operations of an electrically motorized vehicle. The vehicle can utilize an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle. One method for controlling a device of the electrically motorized wheel includes calculating a set of parameters associated with a fitness level of the user for use in determining an amount of assistance a user will receive from the electrically motorized wheel.
