The invention is directed to illuminated footboards for a motorcycle. Two pairs of footboards are provided: front footboards for the operator, and rear footboards for a passenger. Both pairs of footboards provide a row of sequentially brightening yellow light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the side surfaces, which function as turn signals. The front footboards provide white light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front surfaces similar to vehicle headlights, and the rear footboards provide brightening red LEDs on the rear surfaces which function as brake lights. Alternately, illuminated footpegs may provide single yellow LEDs on the ends as turn signals, and white LEDs on the front surfaces.

A system is disclosed for sequentially illuminating segments of vehicle LED arrays of tail lights, when running lights are on, in response to incremental changes in vehicle speed. In response to rapid vehicle deceleration above a predetermined threshold, the system cyclically moves a darkened segment across an illuminated array of LED brake lights with or without the operator applying the brakes.

Systems and methods for replicating vehicular illumination are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes a detector configured to sense light emitted by a host light of a host vehicle for detecting a lighting state of the host light. The system also includes a communications system configured to communicate the detected lighting state between the host light and the remote light. Further, the system includes a remote light being located on one of the host vehicle and an operator of the host vehicle and configured to replicate the lighting state of the host light.

There is provided a motorcycle rear fender structure provided at a rear part of a motorcycle. A rear fender main body covers an upper rear side of a rear wheel. A bulging portion bulges outward and rearward from the rear fender main body, the bulging portion in which a wiring chamber is formed. A partition wall is provided in the rear fender main body. The partition wall is provided with a first wiring hole for introducing an electrical wire connected to a lighting device into the wiring chamber. A side wall of the bulging portion is provided with a second wiring hole for wiring the electrical wire introduced into the wiring chamber to the lighting device. The first wiring hole is provided at a position lower than the second wiring hole.

The active lighting device of a bicycle includes a first optical system with a first light source for long-distance illumination, controlled by a control unit, and a second optical system with a second light source for short-distance illumination, controlled by the control unit. It includes a light sensor for determining the light intensity of a location in which the bicycle is situated and allows the control unit to adapt the light intensity of the light sources, if they are activated and if the ambient light intensity is below a determined light threshold. Moreover, a speed sensor is provided for determining the speed of the bicycle in use on a path, so that the control unit controls the activation of the first light source from at least one determined speed threshold. An orientation detector is provided for orienting the light sources depending on a curve travelled by the bicycle in use.

An integrated bicycle lighting assembly which allows for both frontward and rearward bicycle illumination that can be fixed to the bicycle via rivet or bolt and which is adjustable, controllable via a controller on the handlebar, and includes a power source which has the ability to be removed or coupled with a solar panel or dyno generator.

A canopy assembly adapted for interconnection to a wheeled vehicle and configured to be positioned over an operator of the vehicle. The canopy is tensioned to create a bowed configuration over an operator's head. The canopy is particularly suited for interconnection to a bicycle wherein the canopy is supported and tensioned with spreader bars, rods, and torsion rods that are interconnected at the front and rear of the bicycle.

A modular portable device (4) for viewing, signaling and/or lighting includes a casing (8) suitable for realizing both a container body and a grip or attachment element of the modular portable device (4). At least one viewing device (12) is suitable to reflect an image of the surrounding environment to the modular portable device (4). At least one signaling device (20) emits a beam of light to signal the presence of the modular portable device and/or the user or vehicle supporting the modular portable device (4). The viewing and signaling devices (12, 20) are mechanically separable from one another and mechanically associable and removable to/from the casing (8) independently of each other.

A motor vehicle control system including a foot control assembly having a left-side foot control and a right-side foot control, and a hand control assembly having a left-side hand control and a right-side hand control. The left-side foot control is in communication with a left-signal and the right-side foot control is in communication with a right-signal and configured to control brake functions. The left-side hand control includes a clutch twist and the right-side hand control includes a throttle twist. The clutch twist configured to control a clutch when a twisting motion is applied, and the throttle twist is configured to control a throttle when the twisting motion is applied by the user. The foot control assembly and the hand control assembly are configured to be used in combination for operating a motor vehicle.
