A unified carrier cargo rack and storage system for a vehicle including a receiver unit installed in the rear of the vehicle and a modular carrier rack, including a transitional carrier bar, a secondary bar and a cargo carrier bar, wherein the cargo carrier bar is further operable to engage and immobilize cargo; are disclosed as are male and female securing mechanisms.

A system and a method for controlling a bicycle used in an online to offline (O2O) service platform that provides a sharing service of bicycles are provided. The system may detect a pressure signal from at least one part of the bicycle. The system may determine an access permission level based at least on the pressure signal. The system may further control at least one electric control component of the bicycle according to at least the user permission level.

There is provided an adapter for attaching an object to a luggage carrier. The adapter comprises a hook shaped portion engageable with a first attachment member of the luggage carrier, a latch configured to engage with a second attachment member of the luggage carrier and a release portion configured to release the latch from the second attachment member.

A transport for transporting a transport good and/or a person. Therein, a storage space formed in a body of the transport for receiving the transport good as well as a standing and/or seating surface for the person are provided, wherein a cover is displaceable with respect to the body and/or the storage space, which closes the storage space in a first position and exposes it in a second position, wherein the cover has a retaining mechanism for the person, which is disposed above the standing and/or seating surface in the second position for retaining the person. The disclosure also relates to a method of operating a transport means as well as a transport system having multiple transport means movable independently of each other.

An electric assist vehicle is described, which may have a cargo area, a drivetrain including an external crankset and an electric motor, and a speed control system. The speed control system automatically limits the maximum operating speed of the vehicle based, at least in part, on a load mass (e.g., a gross weight) of the vehicle and/or the cargo area of the vehicle. Limiting the speed includes, for example, reducing the power of the electric motor and/or increasing a braking force on the vehicle.

An adjustable carrier system which aids in the lifting, lower, and transport of heavy objects by a vehicle such as an ATV. The adjustable carrier system generally includes a lower support which is adapted to be connected to a vehicle. A vertical support extends upwardly in a vertical orientation from the lower support. A winch includes a cable which extends through a lower pulley, upwardly alongside the vertical support, through an upper pulley, and downwardly alongside the vertical support to connect at its distal end to a sleeve. The sleeve is movably connected to the vertical support such that the cable may raise or lower the sleeve along the vertical support through use of a winch. A carrier for such as a basket or platform for holding an object is connected to the sleeve such that the carrier is also raised or lowered along the vertical support by the cable.

A motorcycle (1) including: an electronic system of authorization control (100,200); wherein: a first electronic control unit (200) is adapted and configured to determine whether the motorcycle (1) is in an authorized or non-authorized usage state and is adapted to interrogate a portable transponder, which can have a master identification electronic code or a slave identification electronic code, in order to acquire said electronic code and to verify if said electronic code is correct; and wherein: if the first control unit (200) acquires the master identification electronic code, starting the traction engine is allowed independently from the second electronic control unit; if the first control unit (200) acquires the slave identification electronic code, it is determined that the motorcycle (1) is in the authorized usage state and starting the traction engine is allowed if it receives consent information from the second electronic control unit (100).
