The present disclosure relates to a shared bicycle that can be charged conveniently. The bicycle includes a front fork, a rear fork, a handle mounted on the front fork, a shopping basket mounted on the handle, a solar panel mounted on the shopping basket, and a smart lock mounted on the rear fork. The bicycle further includes a bus for data transmission and charging. One end of the bus is electrically connected to the smart lock, and the other end of the bus is configured with an interface that can be connected to an external circuit. The interface is mounted on the shopping basket. The solar panel is connected to the bus via a wire. The interface of the bus is mounted on the shopping basket without disassembling the cover plate, which provides a large operable space and makes it convenient for charging and data transmission, thereby improving the rescue efficiency.

A securing system for securing an electric bicycle to a bicycle docking frame includes a female connecting assembly mountable on the bicycle docking frame and a male connecting assembly mountable on the electric bicycle and sized to be received within a tapered recess of the female connecting assembly. When so received, first current coupling elements of the female assembly electrically interface with second current coupling elements of the male assembly, which can allow current flow therebetween to charge a battery of the electric bicycle. A bicycle rack system includes electric bicycles, bicycle docks, a charging module operable to receive electrical power from an external power source and a charging controller for adjusting the level of electrical power provided to dock-side charging modules that charge battery modules of electric bicycles docked thereto. A method for managing charging is also provided. An electric bicycle is operable to receive a user ride profile from an external device and a motor control module thereof is operable to adjust operation of the motor of the electric bicycle based on the user ride profile.

A collapsible bicycle includes a collapsible tube, a spring-loaded detent, a rod, a hook, and a security element. The collapsible tube includes a first section, a second section, and a hinge for pivotally connecting the first and second sections to each other. The spring-loaded detent is connected to the second section of the collapsible tube and formed with an external end. The rod is connected to the second section of the collapsible tube. The hook is pivotally connected to the first section and formed with a hook engageable with the rod to keep the first and second sections of the collapsible tube coaxial with each other. The security element is pivotally connected to the first section of the collapsible tube and formed with a concave portion for receiving the spring-loaded detent to keep the security element covering the hook, thereby keeping the hook engaged with the rod.

An ebike includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a frame assembly supported on the front wheel and the rear wheel, a battery, and a battery latching assembly to secure the battery to the frame assembly. The battery latching assembly includes a latch member movable among (1) a secured position in which the latch member is configured to secure the battery in a fully mounted position, (2) an open position in which the latch member is configured to maintain the battery in a partially mounted position, and (3) a released position in which the latch member is configured to release the battery. The battery latching assembly also includes a release member coupled to the latch member and movable among (1) a first position in which the latch member is maintained in the secured position, (2) a second position in which the latch member is maintained in the open position and (3) a third position in which the latch member is maintained in the release position.

The present invention relates to a charging device for a personal mobility means. More specifically, the present invention may comprise support parts each having a slot in which a wheel of a personal mobility means is seated; a frame part connecting the support parts to each other; a first charging unit disposed in the frame part to generate a magnetic field for wireless charging toward the personal mobility means seated in the support parts; and a second charging unit mounted to the personal mobility means and converting the magnetic field, received via the first charging unit, into power to charge a battery provided in the personal mobility means.

A holding device for releasably supporting an energy store, in particular, an energy store for a bicycle, on a frame, in particular, on a bicycle frame. The holding device includes at least one locking unit, which is intended, in a locked state, for axially fixing the energy store in position and releasably locking it. The locking unit includes at least one first locking element and at least one second locking element corresponding to the first locking element.

A saddle type electric vehicle (1) includes a charging cord (245) that is connectable to an external power supply, a cord accommodating section (230) configured to accommodate a charging cord (245), and a step floor (9) on which an occupant places his/her legs, a center tunnel (CT) bulging above the step floor (9) is provided in front of a front end of a seat (8) and below a handle (2), and the cord accommodating section (230) is disposed in the center tunnel (CT).

A smart cable lock is provided that is configured to mechanically secure items and provide an automatic determination that securing is achieved. The smart cable may be integrated into a vehicle, or otherwise may communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more ports configured to house the cable when not in use. In some embodiments, an accessory includes one or more ports configured to engage with the connector. In some embodiments, the cable is affixed to the vehicle at one end, using a retractor, for example, and can be unspooled, intertwined with equipment, and then secured to a port on the vehicle. The smart cable lock secures and releases a latch based on user indications and authorizations. For example, if the cable is destroyed or damaged, or an unauthorized indication is made, the cable lock system may sound an alarm, or otherwise alert the user.

A swinging locking mechanism configured to be mounted to a bicycle rack includes a movable rod configured to be movably mounted to a pivot seat of the bicycle rack, and an operating member. The movable rod defines an axial direction and includes at least one second engaging portion which is releasably engaged with at least one first engaging portion of the pivot seat. The operating member is connected with the at least one second engaging portion, and an operational direction of the operating member is parallel to the axial direction. The bicycle rack including the swinging locking mechanism is further provided, and further includes: a carrying frame, having at least one of the pivot seat and configured to carry at least one bicycle.
