Description

System for an electric bicycle, component for an electric bicycle and kit for an electric bicycle Technical Field A system for an electric bicycle is described. In addition, an electric bicycle, a component for an electric bicycle, a kit for an electric bicycle, a method for assembling a system for an electric bicycle and a method for disassembling a system for an electric bicycle are described. Background A bicycle is a cost-effective, easy to use, emission-free vehicle. Bicycles have also become popular as sports and fitness equipment, and certain types have proven particularly suitable for different sports applications. In recent years, there has been an increasing enthusiasm for electric bicycles (particularly so-called "electric assist bicycles") despite their high weight and price compared to conventional bicycles. For electric bicycles, it is important to protect important and expensive components from theft. Disclosure of Invention One task to be solved is to provide a system for electric bicycles that contributes to reliable anti-theft protection. Other tasks to be solved are to specify an electric bicycle with such a system, components for such a system, kits for such a system and methods for assembling and disassembling such a system. First, a system for an electric bicycle will be described in detail. In at least one embodiment, a system for an electric bicycle includes a first component and a second component. The two parts are connected to each other by means of a closed locking mechanism. The locking mechanism may be opened by means of a magnetic and/or electric field provided by the tool. The invention is based upon an insight, inter alia, that a locking mechanism which can be opened using a magnetic and/or electric field can be mounted in a particularly unobtrusive manner, and in particular that the locking mechanism can be completely concealed. This is not only advantageous for visual reasons, but may actually help to better prevent theft. A potential thief may not be able to identify where the locking mechanism is exactly located and therefore does not know where to apply the tool. The first and second parts are parts of or for an electric bicycle. For example, at least one of the two components is an electronic component, i.e. it comprises an electronic device. The two parts may be connected to each other only via a locking mechanism, such that opening the locking mechanism allows one part to be completely separated from the other part. Alternatively, in addition to the connection via the locking mechanism, there may be another connection, for example a permanent connection. Opening the locking mechanism will then allow one component to move relative to the other, but not completely separate. For example, the additional connection may be a hinged connection. In the system, the locking mechanism is in a closed state, i.e. the locking mechanism is closed or locked. The locking mechanism facilitates at least a connection between the first and second members. Thus, the locking mechanism is a connecting or coupling mechanism. When the locking mechanism is in the closed state, the connection established by the locking mechanism is fixed, i.e. it cannot be released. In other words, the two components are locked or latched together by a locking mechanism. In particular, the connection established by the closed locking mechanism cannot be released without damage without the use of suitable tools. The locking mechanism may also be referred to as a latch mechanism. The locking mechanism is configured such that it can be opened using a suitable tool. The tool is a key for a locking mechanism. The opening is performed using the electric and/or magnetic field of the tool. For this purpose, the tool is brought into proximity with the locking mechanism such that the locking mechanism is at least partially located in the region of the magnetic and/or electric field, in which region the field strength is sufficiently high to open the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism may be opened using only the magnetic and/or electric fields provided by the tool. In other words, the locking mechanism may be magnetically and/or electrically opened. For example, the locking mechanism comprises a movable element that is moved by a force generated by the magnetic and/or electric field of the tool. For example, the movement then opens the locking mechanism. The tool is a tool that is operable separately from the locking mechanism. In particular, the magnetic and/or electric field provided by the tool is relative to the external field of the locking mechanism, i.e. it is not provided by the locking mechanism itself. For example, the tool may be used to open the locking mechanism without touching, i.e. the tool does not have to touch the locking mechanism to open the locking mechanism, but may be held at a distance from the locking mechanism. For example, even when the tool is distant from the lock mechanism 1cm, 5 cm,
