An electric vehicle comprises a cylinder lock including an operation key which is movable by a user's operation between a driving position and a charging position provided at a position different from the driving position and an output unit for outputting information indicative of a position of the operation key; and a main controller permits driving control and inhibits charging control when the operation key is moved to the driving position; and the main controller permits the charging control and inhibits the driving control when the operation key is moved to the charging position.

The embodiments herein describe a feedback system for an electric motorcycle. The feedback system notifies a user of the electric motorcycle of various conditions of the electric motorcycle via one or more output devices. In one embodiment, the feedback system causes the left and right grips of the handlebar of the electric motorcycle to vibrate to communicate information to the rider of the electric motorcycle.

An electric two-wheeled vehicle includes a case, an electric component accommodated in the case and having an electric part producing heat during operation, and a traveling wind guide body for cooling the electric component by traveling wind, and the traveling wind guide body has a traveling wind inlet taking in traveling wind from front, a traveling wind path through which the traveling wind taken in by the traveling wind inlet flows, and a traveling wind outlet ejecting the traveling wind flowing through the traveling wind path toward a radiation fin of the case.

A standup, electrically powered three-wheeled vehicle has safety features in its control and method of operation.

A battery pack includes non-parallel longer and shorter axes. A virtual first plane includes the shorter axis and an end surface of the battery pack, a virtual second plane includes the longer axis and another end surface of the battery pack, and a virtual third plane is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longer axis and includes the center of gravity of the battery pack. The battery pack includes first and second grips, respectively at least partially located in the first and second planes. The first grip allows the battery pack to be carried such that the longer axis extends in the vertical direction. The second grip allows the battery pack to slide along the first plane. The first grip and at least a portion of the second grip are located on the same side with respect to the third plane.

A motorized vehicle includes a front part equipped with at least one steering skid intended to be steered by a handlebar, a rear part including a chassis rigidly attached to a tracked propulsion means and driven by a transmission mechanism configured to be powered by a motor. The motorized vehicle is configured such that the motor is housed inside a wheel of the transmission mechanism forming a drive wheel of the propulsion means called a motor wheel. The propulsion means being supported by a bogie comprising an upper bogie rigidly attached to the chassis and a lower bogie, connected together by a suspension mechanism. The lower bogie is articulated with respect to the upper bogie. The motor wheel is rigidly attached to the lower bogie at the rear thereof.

There is provided a fuel cell humidification device of a fuel cell motorcycle. When a fuel cell managing device demands to perform a humidification treatment for humidifying an electrolyte film of an air-cooled type solid polymer fuel cell or the humidification treatment is being performed, a humidification permission deciding portion decides whether an inclination of the fuel cell motorcycle is equal to or greater than an inclination threshold, and then permits to perform or continue to perform the humidification treatment if the inclination is not equal to or greater than the inclination threshold, and does not permit to perform or continue to perform the humidification treatment if the inclination is equal to or greater than the inclination threshold.

A duo-flex compact electrical platform for motorcycles which allows to obtain a mechanical power supply system for electric motorcycles with increased energy efficiency allied to an optimized mechanical power and torque delivery. The proposed platform has two electric motors horizontally arranged within a series of arrangements that also allow to obtain a kinematic solution with self-sufficiency that recharges itself through the use of one of the motors without overloading the other one.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pedal anti-skid pad assembly and a scooter. The pedal anti-skid pad assembly is configured to be install on a pedaling portion of a scooter. The pedal anti-skid pad assembly includes an anti-skid pad body and a membrane switch. The anti-skid pad body has a first surface for being fixedly connected with the pedaling portion. The membrane switch is fixed on the first surface of the anti-skid pad body. The membrane switch is configured to electrically connect with an electric drive apparatus of the scooter, and the membrane switch is configured to switch on when receiving external force to trigger the electric drive apparatus to start.

In some embodiments, an electric scooter comprises a deck configured to support a rider, front and rear wheels, a handlebar assembly that includes a handlebar, a left handle, and a right handle, a steering column that includes a steering tube and the handlebar assembly, and an electric motor configured to provide mechanical power to at least one of the front and the rear wheels. One or more of the steering column, steering tube, handlebar assembly, handlebar, left handle, right handle, and deck can be configured to be detachable and comprise one or more rechargeable battery packs. In addition, one or more of the steering column, steering tube, handlebar assembly, handlebar, left handle, right handle, and deck can be configured to receive one or more removable rechargeable batteries.
