Two-wheeled vehicle

A two-wheeled vehicle is provided including a frame, front and rear ground-engaging members each supporting the frame, a straddle-type seat, a handlebar for steering the vehicle, at least one light device configured to operate in a hazard mode, an engine supported by the frame and operably coupled to the ground-engaging members, a tilt sensor, and a vehicle control unit in communication with the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to detect a tilt angle of the vehicle based on output from the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to determine a tip-over condition of the vehicle based on the detected tilt angle exceeding a threshold tilt angle. The vehicle control unit activates the hazard mode of the at least one light in response to the determination of the tip-over condition.

The disclosure provides a scooter and relates to the technical field of vehicles for replacing walking. The scooter includes a head, a front wheel bracket, a front wheel, a body, a rear wheel bracket and a rear wheel. The body includes a main plate and a bottom plate, and a movable frame is arranged at the bottom plate. The dual-use of the movable frame can be realized by hinging the movable frame to the main plate, so that the movable frame can be used not only for the support when parking, but also for the protection of the body during driving. The tail lamp plate integrally connected to the bottom plate can better ensure the driving safety by setting the light-emitting surface inclined. Moreover, the guard can be easily removed for cleaning.
