According to one embodiment, a bicycle seat includes a frame having a front end section, a medial section, and a rear end section. The front end section extends forward from the medial section, and the rear end section extends aft from the medial section. The bicycle seat also includes a first vent positioned in a first side portion of the rear end section, and a second vent positioned in a second side portion of the rear end section. The first vent defines a first passageway that extends through the first side portion of the rear end section. The second vent defines a second passageway that extends through the second side portion of the rear end section.

A compartment for containing a handheld article, is secured to the motorcycle frame and located on one side of the motorcycle and below the level of the seat. The compartment has a hinged closure on its top surface, and is positioned and configured to allow the rider to open the closure and remove articles while mounted and in motion. The hinge for the closure is located adjacent an edge of the top surface of the compartment so that the edge of the closure opposite the hinge moves upward and away from the motorcycle frame when the closure is opened. The closure readily clears the seat as it is opened, and can move past a vertical condition so that it can remain open. The interior of the compartment is provided with a block of compressible foam formed with slits for receiving articles to be stored.

A bicycle saddle rail includes a first connecting structure, two arc rods and a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure includes a main body and two first connecting portions. Each of the arc rods has a first end and a second end, and each of the first ends of the two arc rods is integrally connected to one of the first connecting portions of the first connecting structure. The second connecting structure includes two second connecting portions, wherein each of the second connecting portions is integrally connected to one of the second ends of the two arc rods, respectively, and the second connecting structure is connected with the first connecting structure via the two arc rods, so that the first connecting structure, the two arc rods and the second connecting structure are connected to each other and formed the bicycle saddle rail with a closed structure.

A Method and Apparatus for Heating and Cooling a Motorcycle Seat have been disclosed. In one implementation a plurality of heating and cooling elements are used to affect heating and cooling a motorcycle seat.

A bicycle saddle adjustment system has a base having one or more adjustment channels therein, and a first and second saddle for coupling to the base, the first and second saddle laterally adjustable via the one or more adjustment channels in the base. The bicycle saddle adjustment system may further have a removably attachable adapter that allows for a quick fitment between various saddles and the bicycle, the adapter allowing for temporary or permanent attachment to the base.

The invention relates to a scooter, comprising a standing surface, at least one rear wheel articulated to the standing surface, and at least one front wheel articulated to the standing surface, which scooter can be moved in a direction of travel, wherein the scooter also comprises an element that is connected in an articulated manner to or can be attached to the standing surface, which element can be transferred from a first position as a seat element to a second position as a holding bar for a person standing on the standing surface, wherein, in the case of use, the scooter can be moved in the same movement direction in the case of a first position of the element and in the case of a second position of the element.

A modular system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a casing with an accessory. Self-alignment of the casing and the accessory may provide a secure connection of the casing with the accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the casing against the accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the casing towards the accessory.

An improved conveyance seat is configured by an overlapping part of a skin material being hung in a recessed portion formed at a boundary position between a support portion and an intersecting portion of the cushion material when the cushion material divided into pieces is covered by the skin material having the overlapping part configured by two skin material fragments overlapping each other. The skin material fragments inserted into the recessed portion have first and second parts satisfying the following conditions: (1) The first parts are welded to contact each other on a back side of the recessed portion behind an opening of the recessed portion and parts of the first parts are crushed, (2) The second parts adjacent to the first parts and closer to the opening of the recessed portion than the first parts are separated from each other.

In some embodiments, a method of forming a bonded assembly includes: providing a first object comprising a first surface having a plurality of locking orifices formed therein, each of the plurality of locking orifices including an opening on the surface of the object and a cavity extending in the first object; positioning an adhesive on at least one of the first surface of the first object and a second surface on a second object; positioning the first surface of the first object on the second surface of the second object with the adhesive between the first and second surfaces; and curing the adhesive to form the bonded assembly.
