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 device 1 for a bicycle, the device comprising: an elongate member 2, the elongate member 2 having a first end 2a arranged to be connected to the handlebar of the bicycle and a second end 2b arranged to extend freely; at least one light source 6 arranged to illuminate at least a part of the elongate member 2; wherein the elongate member 2 is flexibly resilient such that, if a force causes the elongate member 2 to move from a first configuration to a second configuration, the elongate member 2 will return to the first configuration once the force is removed; wherein the elongate member 2 is of a length so as to extend outwardly beyond an end of the handlebar.

A saddle-type vehicle is equipped with a rearview mirror. The rearview mirror includes a stay extending from a vehicle body outward in a vehicle width direction, and a housing connected to an extending end portion of the stay and extending outward in the vehicle width direction, the housing including a mirror body. The housing further includes an upper wall and a lower wall which are arranged at positions overlapping each other in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The upper wall has an upper outer surface portion whose length in a front-rear direction is shorter than the length of a lower outer surface portion of the lower wall in the front-rear direction, as viewed in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the vehicle width direction.

A safety system comprising: a safety apparatus adapted to be mounted at the rear of a bicycle and comprising a processor, a motion sensor, a threat sensing device and a user alert device, all coupled to the processor,
wherein the processor is adapted to: control the driver alert device based on a threat position value and/or the threat speed value; control the user alert device based on at least one of a motion-based value, an ambient light-based value, the threat position value and the threat speed value. It is also claimed the safety apparatus and a collaborative safety system comprising a plurality of safety systems, each being coupled to a communication device through which the processor is further adapted to control the driver alert device and/or the user alert device of the others of the plurality in response to the sensing of a threat.

A vehicle component includes a body having a plurality of layers where each of the plurality of layers is a composite material. The body includes a recess formed in one or more of the plurality of layers. A lighting material is disposed in the recess and includes a tube having a first end and a second end, and a light guide disposed within the tube and extending between the first end and the second end of the tube. A light source is adjacent to one or more of the first end and the second end of the tube. The light source is directed toward the light guide and configured to illuminate the lighting material. The recess is sized to receive the tube.

A communication system for a vehicle comprises a mechanism for sensing a braking of the vehicle and a control device for sending a signal to a headlight activation circuit to modulate the vehicle's headlights based upon the braking of the vehicle. In particular, a headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated based upon an application of one or both of a front brake and a rear brake. The headlight activation circuit is able to modulate the headlight between an on position and an off position or modulate the headlight between a high beam position and a low beam position. Consequently, the vehicle is better seen as it approaches likely congestion areas such as intersections and slowing or stopped traffic and attempts to enter traffic.

The compact lamp consists of a light source, a focusing lens, a specially shaped secondary lens with a saddle-shaped output surface, a light transmitting element, a battery holding chamber with an electrical control circuit connected to a button for control of the lamp source via a magnetic contact. Some of these elements are placed inside the lamp housing, mounted on an end of a handlebar or another suitable lighting device, and some other elements, including the battery and the magnetic control circuit, are installed inside the handlebar tube or the housing of the lighting device. The compact optical layout enables a beam, which is sharply limited in the vertical plane and sufficiently wide in the horizontal plane and is suitable for daytime running lamps, night headlamps or position lights. When at least two light sources are used in one lamp, beams of different light dispersion patterns can be electrically toggled.

A bicycle mounting mechanism and battery box assembly installed in a bicycle frame of a bicycle is provided to include a battery box and a mounting mechanism. The battery box includes an abutment recess and an opening. The mounting mechanism includes a grip and a locating component unit being connected to the bicycle frame and defining therein an accommodation chamber for accommodating the battery box. The grip is pivotally connected to the locating component unit and includes an abutment end portion and a push end portion. The abutment end portion is capable of inserting into the accommodation chamber and in engagement with the opening with a rotating of the grip. The push end portion is capable of inserting into the accommodation chamber and abuts against the abutment recess with a further rotating of the grip.

The turn signal riding gloves is a pair of gloves with lights integrated into an exterior surface that form turn signals or a braking signal light. Each of the pair of gloves operates independent of one another. Each of the pair of gloves includes a powering member that is wired in between a plurality of buttons and the plurality of lights. The plurality of buttons may be linearly aligned along a side surface of an index finger of the respective glove. In use, the motorcyclist simply raises an applicable hand and corresponding glove into the air, and pressing one of the plurality of buttons in order to generate a brake light signal, left turn signal, or right turn signal.
