URBAN ELLIPTICAL BICYCLE
20190168840 · 2019-06-06 ·

To produce an elliptical bicycle that can be used by persons of all ages safely, comfortably and easily, a bicycle with simple and original mechanisms has been created, allowing the user to feel safe when mounting the bicycle and to be able to handle same with ease and pleasure and to enjoy the journey. Using these original designs and mechanisms, a compact bicycle has been created, which is made easy and safe to move from one place to another by the ability to lower the handlebars and at the same time collapse the steering column and by a simple, silent, compact drive system formed by footboards, pedals, a bottom bracket and wheels. The bicycle has the advantage of providing easy and safe travel and has a gear-shifting system that can have between 3 and 12 different speeds and a caliper braking system on the rear and front wheels.

A brake system includes a driving part driven by electric power to adjust braking force applied to a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle and an electronic controller configured to control the driving part in accordance with a rotational state of the rotary body. The electronic controller has a plurality of control modes including a first mode that drives the driving part in accordance with a user operation and a second mode that does not drive the driving part regardless of the user operation. The electronic controller is configured to switch the plurality of control modes based on setting information related to an input to the human-powered vehicle.

Electric-powered vehicle

An electric-powered vehicle includes a drive wheel and a coasting wheel. The drive wheel and the coasting wheel are spaced apart from each other in a vehicle traveling direction. A frame is arranged between the drive wheel and the coasting wheel and rotationally supports the drive wheel and the coasting wheel. The frame has an object mounting portion. A stay is coupled to the frame and extends upward from the frame. A seat and a handlebar are supported by the stay. The vehicle has a plurality of modes including a ride mode, in which a user uses the vehicle while being seated on the seat and holding the handlebar, and a cart mode, in which the user uses the vehicle while standing on the ground and holding the handlebar. The vehicle is selectively switched to a shape corresponding to each of the modes.
