Pedal-assisted e-bike displays are an important part of e-bikes, which can provide users with various information and functions. However, there is a common phenomenon of "homogenization" of e-bike displays in the current market, i.e., there is a lack of differentiation and innovation among products in terms of shape, details, and connotation, which makes it difficult to satisfy the diversified needs and experiences of users. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role and significance of generative design and user experience-centered design methods in solving this problem. This paper firstly analyzes the background, status quo, and causes of the "homogenization" phenomenon of pedal-assisted e-bike instrument design, and then proposes a design process based on generative design and user experience research. Through this process, the paper explores how to improve the serious "homogenization" phenomenon in the field of pedal-assisted e-bike instrument design, enhance user experience, and strengthen the brand image of the instrument. The paper provides relevant references for improving the current serious "homogenization" phenomenon in the field of pedal-assisted e-bike instrument design, enhancing the user experience, and strengthening the competitiveness of the product market and the brand image of the instrument.
