1. A system to facilitate safety of a user when using a motorized human-powered vehicle, the system comprising:
- a proximity system operable to detect that an object near the motorized human-powered vehicle has crossed a proximity threshold relative to the motorized human-powered vehicle;
wherein the proximity system is configured to communicate with one of the motorized human-powered vehicle, infrastructure around the motorized human-powered vehicle, another vehicle near the motorized human-powered vehicle, or a user mobile device; and
wherein the proximity system is configured to transmit a signal to one of the motorized human-powered vehicle, infrastructure around the motorized human-powered vehicle, the other vehicle near the motorized human-powered vehicle, or the user mobile device in response to detecting that the object has crossed the proximity threshold,wherein the signal is configured to cause one of the motorized human-powered vehicle, infrastructure around the motorized human-powered vehicle, the other vehicle near the motorized human-powered vehicle, or the user mobile device to trigger one of an alert or a change in operation of the motorized human-powered vehicle.

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 system to facilitate user safety when using an electrically motorized wheel includes a proximity sensor on the electrically motorized wheel in communication with a user mobile device and a proximity alert module on the mobile device enabled to alert a user when a sensed proximity crosses a threshold.
