A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.

A vehicle including a front module including a front wheel and a rear module selectively moveably connected to the front module, the rear module including a rear wheel. The vehicle further includes an electric motor assembly, a mode selector, at least one extension assembly connected between the front module and the rear module for selectively extending and retracting to provide a selective variation in an overall length of the vehicle; and a vehicle control unit being communicatively connected between the mode selector and the electric motor assembly. The vehicle control unit performs a method for selectively changing the overall vehicle length. The method includes receiving from the mode selector an indication to change the overall length, determining that the front wheel is rotationally locked, and causing an electric motor to drive the rear wheel such that the rear module translates relative to the front module.

A scooter includes a frame which has a footboard and supports a rear wheel, a steering column provided with a front wheel pivotably mounted on the frame, and a motor provided with a drive shaft coupled to the rear wheel via a transmission system. The transmission system includes a rear transverse shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion rotatably coupled to the rear wheel; —a gear system having a sprocket coupled rotatably to the first end portion and in meshing engagement with a toothed gear rotatably coupled to the drive shaft; and—a rear structure attached to the frame, supporting the gear system and the rear transverse shaft, and extending laterally along one side only—right or left—of the rear wheel, such that the second end portion extends from the rear structure to support the rear wheel in a cantilevered fashion.

An electric motorcycle includes a housing for housing an electric motor and/or a transmission. The housing is positioned at the center of the electric motorcycle in a front view. An internal cooling device and/or an electronic component and two cooling elements extend outward from opposite sides of the housing. Exterior cooling ribs are arranged on the cooling elements. The cooling ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the electric motorcycle, such that the cooling elements and the cooling ribs are directly in contact with the air surrounding the electric motorcycle. The cooling device and/or the electronic component is, at least in portions, housed in and thermally connected to at least one of the cooling elements.

A vehicle includes: an electric prime mover; a frame member acting as a load bearing member of the vehicle; and a structural member functionally connected to the frame member. The structural member is capable of supporting the electric prime mover rotatably. The electric prime mover includes a shaft fixedly mounted to the structural member and that is disposed substantially in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The shaft fixedly supports a stationary member of the electric prime mover and the shaft rotatably supports a rotating member of the electric prime mover. A cable assembly extends outward from the stationary member through a cable path defined by the shaft. The cable path includes a portion provided with a caulking member capable of securely holding the cable assembly thereat. The cable assembly includes an external sheath forming at least an outer periphery of the cable assembly.

A personal mobility vehicle comprising a control unit for controlling a steering function of the vehicle, wherein the control unit is adapted to receive route information from a personal smart device and to control the vehicle at least semi-autonomously based on the route information.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a chassis for a two-wheeler. The chassis includes a first downtube and a second downtube and a battery mounting system. The battery mounting system includes a movable battery housing configured to house a battery under a seat of the two-wheeler and move between a closed position and an open position, at least two support members configured to support the movable battery housing, and at least one pivot hinge coupled to a front side of the movable battery housing and supporting the movable battery housing. The at least two support members and the at least one pivot hinge are configured to enable an angular movement of the movable battery housing with respect to a seat axis between the open position and the closed position, thereby enabling replacement of the battery located under the seat of the two-wheeler, while maintaining a closed seat position of the seat.

A cargo-carrying wheeled vehicle comprising: at least a cargo hold chassis (10); at least a battery support chassis (30) configured to be operatively behind or operatively ahead or operatively underneath said cargo hold chassis (10); and at least a rider and pillion support chassis (20) configured to be operatively behind said battery support chassis (30) and operatively behind said cargo hold chassis (10), in that, said cargo hold chassis (10), said battery support chassis (30), and said rider and pillion support chassis (20) cooperate to maintain centre of gravity of said vehicle, after addition of cargo and rider and pillion, relatively lower (closer to ground) and substantially on or very near to the centerline of the wheelbase of this vehicle (between 10a and 12a).

A motorized kick scooter having a foot platform arrangement comprising two foot platforms that each have a length no greater than 600 mm, and support a user on a foot platform surface, for which a distance between the ground surface and itself is less than a diameter of a rear wheel. The foot platforms are also positioned to partly overlap the rear wheel and so that a fore end of each foot platform is positioned between a front wheel and the rear wheel and to be positioned either equidistant between the front and rear wheels or more proximate to the rear wheel. The two foot platforms are positioned either side of the rear wheel.

Apparatus and system for testing an electric ride-on vehicle (1). The apparatus includes, in one implementation, a direct current (DC) socket (28), a pair of junction plugs (30A, 30B), and a control circuit (32). The DC socket (28) is configured to receive a DC plug of a wall charger (14). The pair of junction plugs (30A, 30B) is configured to receive a connector of a battery (12) and a connector of a charging circuit (16). The control circuit (32) is electrically coupled to the DC socket (28) and the pair of junction plugs (30A, 30B). The control circuit (32) is configured to test voltages of the battery (12), the wall charger (14), and the charging circuit (16).
