Motorcycle Jack
A portable motorcycle jack is provided comprising a base arm and a lift arm hingedly joined for folding the two components together. The base arm has a foot that rests co-planar with the ground when in use. The lift arm is hingedly joined to the base arm at base end and has a cradle for engaging the motorcycle at an cradle end.
In another aspect, the base arm has a plurality of apertures arranged linearly and sloped relative to the base arm to provide adjustment in length of the motorcycle jack while maintaining the over-fulcrum angle of the base arm relative to the lift arm regardless of which length is selected.

Bicycle stand
The bicycle stand includes a first rod, a second rod, and a pivot structure. The first rod has a first end, a second end, and a first pivot portion between the first end and the second end. The second rod has a third end, a fourth end, and a second pivot portion between the third end and the fourth end. The pivot structure is pivotally connected to the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion so that the first rod is pivotally connected with the second rod and is able to pivot between a folding position and an opening position. The first rod and the second rod are X-shaped when the first rod and the second rod are at the opening position.

Docking station for micromobility transit vehicles
A docking station for micromobility transit vehicles is provided. The docking station may include a rack configured to dock a micromobility transit vehicle, a bollard for securing the micromobility transit vehicle within the rack, and a dock module configured to detect a characteristic of a lock cable securing the micromobility transit vehicle to the bollard. The dock module may include an inductive coil assembly disposed around a hole of the bollard to detect the lock cable inserted into the hole.

Bicycle parking lock apparatus and method for operating same
The present invention relates to a bicycle parking lock apparatus adapted for locking a crank of the bicycle. The apparatus includes a primary lock part and a secondary lock part movable reciprocatingly relative to the primary lock part. The primary lock part defines a recess adapted to receive the crank. The recess is provided with a sidewall such that when the crank is received in the recess, an outboard side of the crank at a first end thereof is shielded by the sidewall. The secondary lock part is adapted to hold the crank in position in cooperation with the primary lock part.
Rack for supporting a bicycle in a generally upright position
A rack for supporting a bicycle in a generally upright position, the rack comprising a frame comprising a curb bar; and the curb bar comprising a mounting surface for exerting a counterbalancing force on a crank assembly of the bicycle to frictionally hold the bicycle in the generally upright position. When the bicycle is supported by the curb bar, the bicycle is positioned relative to the rack for securing the bicycle to the rack. The curb bar exerts a counterbalancing force on the pedal axle or the pedal of the bicycle. The counterbalancing force may be a frictional force or a torque. Bicycles can be supported on either side of the rack, the bicycles facing in either a forward or reverse direction. The bicycle may be secured to the rack at multiple points.

Modular bike lock
A modular bike lock includes a locking mechanism and a securement mechanism coupled with the locking mechanism. The securement mechanism wraps around at least a portion of a bicycle and includes a locking end configured to engage with the locking mechanism to lock the bike lock. The bike lock includes a wireless communications interface and a processor that receives, using the interface, a selection from a mobile device that indicates that the mobile device has selected to use the bike lock and communicates, using the interface, a unique identifier associated with the bike lock to the mobile device, the unique identifier enabling the mobile device to unlock the bike lock. The bike lock locks automatically in response to receiving the locking end within a portion of the locking mechanism without receiving an additional input from the mobile device. The bike lock is mountable on a support structure.
