Recently, bicycles are used as exercising machines and traffic vehicles. Planetary gear trains can be used as the transmission systems with multi-speed for bicycles. The purpose of this work is to propose a design methodology for the design of eight-speed internal gear hubs with planetary gear trains for bicycles. First, we propose a design concept for the design of eight-speed planetary gear hub. Then, based on this design concept and train value equation of planetary gear train, the kinematic design of eight-speed planetary gear hub is accomplished. One eight-speed planetary gear hub is synthesized to illustrate the design methodology. Based on the proposed design methodology, many eight-speed internal gear hubs with planetary gear trains can be synthesized.
