One embodiment provides a rear portion structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The structure includes: seat frames inclined rearward and upward and supporting a riding seat; and a rear cowl having an upper cowl and a lower cowl. The upper cowl includes: a first cowl; and a second cowl which is connected to the first cowl and forms an opening upper edge portion of an opening for exposing a tail light. The lower cowl includes: a third cowl; and a fourth cowl which is connected to the third cowl and forms an opening lower edge portion of the opening. An approximately-U-shaped recessed portion is opened at a rear end of the third cowl. The fourth cowl forms the opening lower edge portion while covering the U-shaped recessed portion.

One embodiment provides a rear portion structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The structure includes: seat frames extending rearward and upward from a main frame; a riding seat supported on the seat frames; and a rear cowl covering the seat frames. The rear cowl is formed such that an upper cowl and a lower cowl are vertically assembled to each other by a vertical connecting portion. An upper connecting portion is formed on the upper cowl to extend over a lateral width of the upper cowl, a lower connecting portion is formed on the lower cowl to extend over a lateral width of the lower cowl, and each of them has a flat surface portion. An angle made by the flat surface portions is set to an acute angle.

A rideable golf cycle adapted to transport a rider and a golf bag for use on a golf course. The cycle includes a frame and a seat, a front wheel and steering components, a rear wheel, an inclined bag support structure extending between the legs of the rider, and a motor/control subassembly.

An air outlet is formed on each side surface of a front cowl covering a front portion of a vehicle body. The air outlet is located near and on the front side of a middle position defined by the half of the longitudinal length L of the front cowl. Left and right air inlets are formed near a headlight provided on the front surface of the front cowl. A running wind is introduced into the air inlets, passed through the inside of the front cowl, and discharged from the air outlets. The running wind flowing inside the front cowl is disturbed by the running wind discharged from the air outlets, thereby separating the running wind from each side surface of the front cowl.

A side cover structure for enhancing the external appearance and turning performance of a saddle-ride-type vehicle. A side cover structure of a saddle-ride-type vehicle includes a head pipe with a frame extending rearwardly from the head pipe. Side covers cover the frame from left and right sides. A bent portion is bent toward the outside in a vehicle width direction from a base portion and is formed on the side cover. An opening is formed in the base plate portion positioned in the vicinity of the bent portion.

A straddle-type vehicle comprises a vehicle body frame; a heavy weight vehicle member mounted on a vehicle body; a support member fastened to the vehicle body frame to support the heavy weight vehicle member; and a vehicle body behavior sensor which detects a behavior of the vehicle body, and the vehicle body behavior sensor is mounted on the support member.

There is provided a protection structure of a rear combination lamp provided at a rear portion of a straddle-type vehicle. The protection structure of the rear combination lamp includes: an undercover covering the rear combination lamp from below; and a rear fender covering a rear wheel from above, the rear fender being below the undercover. The undercover extends along a lower edge of the rear combination lamp. A size of the rear fender in a vehicle width direction is smaller than a size of the undercover in the vehicle width direction in a vehicle rear view.

Articulated bicycle mitts, bike mitts, or pogies, are described. In some embodiments, the configuration of the bike mitts enables the mitts to be utilized on or with various different handlebars, including handlebars having different bar types, sizes, shapes, geometries, and/or orientations. For example, the bicycle mitts, being articulated, include a single base layer, or an outer layer (e.g., a weather protective or protection layer) that flexes or takes on a shape that is dependent on a bar type (e.g., flat bar or swept back) for handlebars to which the mitts are attached. In some embodiments, the base layer or outer layer includes a hinge located at an outer edge of the layer, which facilitates movement of the mitts (e.g., a first section with respect to a second section) based on the bar type of the handlebars of the bicycle.

A rideable golf bag cart/cycle (10) is a personal riding golf cart/cycle adapted to transport a single rider (13) and a golf bag (12) for use on a golf course. The cart/cycle (10) is generally symmetrical about a longitudinal plane (16) and includes a frame (18) with a seat (20), a front wheel and steering components (22), a rear wheel (24), an inclined bag support structure (26) extending between the legs of the rider (13), and a motor/control subassembly (28). A collapsed mode (30) in some embodiments is achieved by folding down the handlebars (72) and pivoting the running boards (56) up against the frame (16). An enhanced embodiment (118) includes a canopy (122) and a deluxe multifunctional console (124).

A wind-diverting apparatus for minimally shielding only the faster-moving drag-sensitive uppermost wheel surfaces from headwinds reduces overall vehicle drag. The apparatus includes various upper wheel fairings of FIGS. 1-6. Each fairing shields a primary vehicle-drag-inducing upper wheel surface from headwinds otherwise impinging directly thereon.
