A control system includes a detection device and an electronic controller. The detection device is configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver. The electronic controller is configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information.

A vehicle (300), comprising: a frame (310) comprising a head tube (314) and a rear driven axle support (312); a motion control system; and a payload support (320) movably connected to the frame (310) via the motion control system such that the payload support (320) moves non-linearly relative to the frame (310), wherein the payload support (320) comprises a seat support, and in a first operating state of the vehicle (300), the motion control system, in response to a driven acceleration of the frame (310) in a forward direction, imparts a force onto the payload support (320) that accelerates the seat support (320) in the forward direction at an acceleration no less than an acceleration of the rear driven axle support (312) in the forward direction.

A vehicle is equipped with a docking station for a driver's smart device. The smart device displays engine related and other information to the driver while operating the vehicle. The smart device provides a supplementary screen to the screen installed in the vehicle at manufacture, or acts as an alternative to having a screen installed at manufacture. The docked smart device replaces one or more of the instruments normally present in a vehicle dashboard or motorcycle instrument cluster. The smart device also controls operation of the vehicle.

A device is for fixing equipment to an end of the inner surface of a tube. The device has an elongated body, a ring adapted to surround and slide along a segment of the elongated body, and at least two flaps rotatable on the ring. Each hole in the elongated body is adapted for bearing a bolt aligned with the longitude of the elongated body. The ring has at least two threaded bores designed to mate with the threads of the bolts so that the position of the ring on the elongated body is controllable by applying torque to the bolts; and the flaps are positioned homogenously around the ring. The elongated body has at least one portion adapted to guide the flaps so that the flaps radially open against the inner surface of the tube.

An operating device is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The operating device basically includes a base, a first electric switch, a second electric switch, a first operating member and a second operating member. The first operating member is movable with respect to the base to activate the first electric switch as the first operating member moves from a non-operated position to an intermediate operating position, and then activate the second electric switch as the first operating member moves from the intermediate operating position to an additional operating position. The second operating member is movable with respect to the base to activate the second electric switch as the second operating member moves from a non-operated position to an intermediate operating position, and then activate the first electric switch as the second operating member moves from the intermediate operating position of the second operating member to an additional operating position.

A parking and charging station for electric vehicles, the parking and charging station has a small footprint and data transfer capability. The electric vehicles may include e-bikes and e-scooters, but other similar vehicles may also be supported. The parking and charging station may include a vertical automatic and motorized conveyor. The parking and charging station may include a standalone vertical post with one or more bars attached horizontally.

A bicycle frame is discussed having a battery fully contained within a down tube of the bicycle frame. The battery may be inserted into or removed from the down tube via a through opening through a bottom bracket housing of the bicycle frame. Weakness in the bottom bracket housing due to the through opening may be compensated for, fully or partially, by utilizing a bottom bracket bearing assembly that has a structural component, or structural component assembly, that extends completely through the bottom bracket housing and removably couples to the bottom bracket housing.

A bicycle derailleur comprises a circuit board, an electrical user interface, a motor housing, and a motor unit. The electrical user interface includes a user accessing portion configured to receive a user input. The motor housing includes a motor accommodating space. The motor unit is provided in the motor accommodating space and configured to generate rotational force and configured to be electrically connected to the circuit board. A first direction is defined from the circuit board toward the electrical user interface or from the electrical user interface toward the circuit board. The plurality of second directions is defined to be perpendicular to the first direction. The motor unit is at least partly provided between the user accessing portion of the electrical user interface and the circuit board when viewed in at least one of the plurality of second directions.
