CLAMPING DEVICE FOR BEING CONNECTED TO FRAME OF BICYCLE CARRY RACK
A clamping device for a bicycle carry rack includes a tube with a first clamp unit and a second clamp unit respectively located on two ends thereof. A fastening unit includes a pin which is connected between the first and second clamp units. The first clamp unit includes a clamping slot and an entrance which communicates with the clamping slot. The entrance guides the frame of a bicycle carry rack into the clamping slot. The first clamp unit has a restriction recess for receiving a head of the pin, the other of the pin is threadedly connected to a knob. The head of the pin is removed from the restriction recess when the second clamp clamps, and the first clamp unit is pivotable relative to the pin, and to clamp the frame of the bicycle carry rack by its clamping slot via the entrance.
Vehicle docking stations systems and methods
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide modular docking systems and rebalancing systems for micro-mobility fleet vehicles. A modular micro-mobility fleet vehicle docking system includes a base platform including a modular station body receptacle disposed on a top surface of the base platform and a modular station body including a vehicle retention system configured to secure a micro-mobility fleet vehicle to the modular station body. The modular station body includes a base platform interface disposed at a bottom surface of the modular station body that is configured to be physically secured to the base platform by the modular station body receptacle. The modular station body receptacle includes a station locking interface configured to releasably secure the modular station body to the base platform and/or an electrical interface configured to provide power to the modular station body.
Bicycle riding training aid
A bicycle support device that includes a stabilization platform, the platform interfacing with bicycle training wheels. When the training wheels are engaged within the cavities of the stabilization platform, the rear wheel of the bicycle is elevated. The elevation, in combination with a slot within the platform, allows the rear wheel of the bicycle to rotate freely.
Transition area bicycle rack
A bicycle rack for use in providing temporary parking for a large number of bicycles, comprising a rail and a plurality of tire trays evenly spaced, along said rail and pivotal in motion from a parallel position to said rail to a depioyed position, substantially perpendicular to said rail, each said tire tray including a recessed wheel bed for seating a wheel of a bicycle therein. The wheel beds are adjustable to accommodate bicycles with tires of various widths. The tire trays have channels for holding printed signs. The rack is compact, modular, and stable. The rack breaks down for easy transport and storage and facilitates both, the rapid setup and breakdown of an orderly temporary parking area for a large number of bicycles. The rack is well suited for multisport races where an orderly transition area significantly enhances the profile of the event.
Space-saving bicycle rack
The presently disclosed technology is related to an assembly for the parking of one or more bicycles that includes a mounting bracket and an arm. The mounting bracket is configured for attachment to a wall. The proximal end of the arm is pivotally attached to the mounting bracket and the distal end of the arm has at least one opening configured for the attachment of a bicycle lock. The assembly is configured so that the arm may be secured in at least two different types of positions. The first type of position is a space-saving position, to which a user may position the assembly when no bicycle parking is needed. In the space-saving position, the arm may be positioned so as to be substantially parallel with the wall to which the assembly is mounted. The second type of position is a locking position, to which a user may position the assembly when bicycle parking is needed. In the locking position, the arm may be positioned at an angle with the wall to which the assembly is mounted, the angle being suitable for the locking of at least one bicycle to the arm.
VEHICLE DOCKING STATIONS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
In one embodiment, a method of installing a modular micro-mobility fleet vehicle docking system includes: providing multiple base platforms, each including platform interlock feature(s) extending along at least a portion of its perimeter; connecting each base platform to an adjoining one via the associated platform interlock features; providing multiple modular station bodies, each including a vehicle retention system configured to secure a micro-mobility fleet vehicle to the modular station body and a base platform connector disposed at a bottom surface of the modular station body, the base platform connector including a physical locking interface and an electrical connection interface integrated together as a single piece; and securing each modular station body to a corresponding base platform via the associated base platform connector to physically lock the modular station body to the base platform and electrically connect the modular station body to the base platform.
Bicycle parking device with adjustable length
The present invention relates to bicycle parking device with an adjustable length, comprising a base and a positioning component detachably assembled above the base. The positioning component has at least two fixed tubes and a telescopic tube assembly in connection with the fixed tubes. The telescopic tube assembly has at least two first tubes and at least two second tubes pivotally connected with each other. A first positioning point is formed at connection of each of the first tubes with the base. A second positioning point is formed at connection of each of the first tubes with each of the fixed tubes. A third positioning point is formed at connection of each of the fixed tubes with the base. The first, second, and third positioning points provide a stable three-point positioning structure for the positioning component, which enhances stability when a bicycle tire is placed on the positioning component.
MODULAR DOCKING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A SCOOTER OR BICYCLE
The present disclosure provides a modular system for energy management and distribution, and for the docking of personal electric vehicles such as electric scooters and bicycles. The system comprises one or more core devices with polygonal frames. The edges of each frame are fitted with universal ports configured to couple with various external modules, including docking modules for different types of vehicles, to meet the demands of the space in which they are installed. The core devices have their own internal battery modules coupled to a power supply grid and implement smart charging protocols to store and discharge energy from their battery modules to connected external modules in an optimal manner. The system thus provides a versatile solution to the complex demands of city environments, both in terms of efficient and adaptable physical storage and varying power demands.
Scooters with retractable supports
A variety of scooters are disclosed. In some embodiments, a scooter can include a pivot assembly that allows the scooter to move between a folded and unfolded configuration. The pivot assembly can include a knob that frees a pin from a bracket to allow the scooter to fold. Turing the knob increases compressive forces on elements of the pivot assembly to reduce rattling noise and wobbling movement when the scooter is in use. Some embodiments of the scooter can include a center stand that can be deployed from either side of the scooter deck to stabilize the scooter when the scooter is stationary. Certain embodiments have an ergonomic handgrip.
Bicycle parking device with adjustable length
A bicycle parking device with adjustable length includes a base and a parking tube assembly which is connected to the base and has a limiting tube assembly and a fixed tube assembly. The limiting tube assembly has an accommodation space. An elastic limiting member is movably connected to the limiting tube assembly and is movable up and down relative to the limiting tube assembly to adjust the size of the accommodation space.
