A position of a center of gravity of a vehicle body is easily optimized. An ABS modulator is disposed in a vicinity of a pivot bracket, which is joined to a lower rear portion of a main frame, and to which a swing arm is swingably connected.

A scooter has a front wheel at a proximal end of a platform and a rear wheel at opposing distal end of the platform. A shaft extends upward from the proximal end of the platform. The shaft terminating in a handle bar. A friction motor propels one of the front wheel or the rear wheel of the scooter the scooter.

A rigid and aerodynamic device for external protection for motorcycle and bicycle vehicles with 2 to 4 wheels. This removable dome type device is formed by multiple overlapping panels that form an oval shell type structure, which protects both the vehicle and the pilot from external weather conditions and physical damage in the event of a collision.

To provide a parking brake apparatus for a saddled vehicle actuated in response to a reverse rotation on a throttle grip which is set in a simplified structure. A parking brake apparatus for a saddled vehicle includes a parking brake caliper configured to restrict a rotation of a rear wheel while the motorcycle is parked; a steering handle configured to steer a front wheel; and a throttle grip mounted on the steering handle and configured to control output of a power unit. The control unit actuates the parking brake caliper by a motor when at least the throttle grip is reversely rotated and the vehicle speed is zero. The throttle grip being reversely rotated is detected according to information from a throttle position sensor which is interlocked with the throttle grip.

An electric-powered personal transport vehicle with a board to support a weight of a user and one or more wheels driven by one or more electric motors is discussed. The electric motors are powered by one or more batteries. A throttle has a thumb wheel speed controller on a handlebar. The thumb wheel speed controller has a horizontal manipulation between accelerate, neutral, and brake input positions such that pressing the thumbwheel speed controller in a vertical direction will not result in an unintentional acceleration or braking.

A three-wheeled electric vehicle in accordance with EU vehicle classification L2e-U, which has two electric-motor-driven rear wheels, each of which is driven by one wheel-hub motor. A hydraulically actuatable rear-wheel disc-brake system is mounted on each rear wheel which brake system is also fitted with an integrated electromechanical parking brake, the activation of which shifts each rear wheel into a parking-brake mode in which wheel rotation is prevented. In a rear portion, the vehicle body forms a support structure on which an optionally present, exchangeable transport container can be supported and secured with the aid of a quick-release fastening system. The quick-release fastening system includes one or more connection device(s), wherein each connection device includes a bar that protrudes from a bottom wall of the transport container; and a locking device, which is permanently attached to the support structure, is fitted with a movable blocking element.

A brake pad assembly for a bicycle includes a first brake pad, a second brake pad, and a spreader spring. The first brake pad has a first backing plate with a first rotor facing surface, and a first friction pad secured to the rotor facing surface. The second brake pad has a second backing plate with a second rotor facing surface, and a second friction pad secured to the second rotor facing surface and facing the first friction pad. The spreader spring has a first leaf that is fixed to the first brake pad and a second leaf that is fixed to the second brake pad. At least a portion of the first leaf is positioned between the first rotor facing surface and the first friction pad, and at least a portion of the second leaf is positioned between the second rotor facing surface and the second friction pad.
