The present disclosure provides high security, personalized locking devices for securing a wide variety of personal transportation devices. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may provide a locking mechanism that is keyed to the specific user. For example, the locking mechanism may be keyed to a user's biometric signature (e.g., a fingerprint, palm print, retinal image, voice recognition, and the like). The personalized locking devices disclosed herein are easy to transport and easy to use. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may be configured to securely fasten a user's personal transportation device (e.g., motorcycles, mopeds, Segways, bicycles, scooters, skateboards) to an external structure (e.g., a bike rack, a fastening post, etc.) for the purpose of theft prevention.

A personal mobility device includes a helmet, for example, when renting the personal mobility device, and can improve user safety based on an output of a sensor provided in the helmet. The personal mobility device further includes: a transceiver; a helmet storage device in which the helmet provided with at least one sensor is stored; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to be wirelessly connected to the helmet when receiving a signal indicating separation between the helmet storage device and the helmet from the helmet storage device, and to control the transceiver to transmit a signal requesting the activation of the at least one sensor to the helmet.

A garment and tether system is presented. The system includes a garment and tether. The garment includes: a garment body, and at least one electrical element connected to the garment body. The tether includes: a first end and a second end, at least one electrical conductor operatively connected between the first and second ends, and an electrical contact at the second end. The tether is connected to the garment at the first end, the second end being removably connectable to a base disposed on a vehicle. The base is adapted to provide power to the at least one electrical conductor of the tether via the electrical contact. The at least one electrical element is provided power from the vehicle via the tether.

The present invention relates to a bicycle with feedback. The bicycle includes a tube assembly including a frame with mutually fixed tube elements and movable tube elements, such as steering tube and a handlebar, at least one subsystem for providing a respective function to the bicycle, and a control unit for functional interaction with the at least one subsystem . The control unit includes receiving means for receiving at least one status signal of the at least one subsystem, a processing means, such as a processing unit for processing the at least one status signal, and output means for outputting at least one output signal. The bicycle further includes a sound system, including a loudspeaker for outputting sound, a power supply, such as a battery, for providing power to the control unit and to the at least one subsystem. The sound system is arranged for outputting sound as a sound feedback based on the at least one status signal of the at least one subsystem.

The present invention relates to a bicycle with bicycle alarm. The bicycle includes a control unit for functional interaction with at least one subsystem of the bicycle. The control unit includes processing means, such as including a processing unit, for processing the at least one status signal, and output means for outputting at least one output signal. The bicycle further includes the at least one subsystem being arranged for providing at least one alarm status signal relating to the bicycle alarm as the at least one status signal, and the processing means are arranged for processing of the alarm status signal relating to the bicycle alarm and providing at least an alarm output signal as the at least one output signal. The alarm output signal is a signal for providing an alarm signal for an audible alarm, an alarm signal for a visible alarm and/or an alarm signal for distribution via a network connection, such as a network connection for short-range, a network connection for a local range, or a network connection via a cellular or mobile network.

A controlling device according to the present disclosure includes a communication unit that receives setting information for setting an electric component of a human-powered vehicle to a predetermined setting, and a controller that sets the electric component to the predetermined setting, based on the setting information received by the communication unit. The controller determines whether or not a cancel condition for cancelling the predetermined setting is satisfied.
