One embodiment provides a saddle-ride type vehicle. The vehicle includes a main frame; a drive source supported by a lower side of the main frame; an energy storing part supported by an upper side of the main frame; a front wheel steerably supported via a front fork mounted on a front side of the main frame; a rear wheel supported via a swing arm mounted on a rear side of the main frame and configured to be driven by the drive source; and seat frames disposed on the rear side of the main frame to support a riding seat. A braking control device is disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames, and is supported by a rear fender supported by the seat frame via a vibration control member. And, an inertia measuring device is supported by the braking control device.

A bicycle brake shoe device is provided with a brake pad assembly including right and left members on an inner surface respectively wherein the left member has a cavity, and two grooves on top and bottom of the right and left members respectively; a support including an intermediate hole, two grooved rails on top and bottom of an inner surface respectively, and a threaded hole through a right side; a bolt and nut assembly including a nut in the intermediate hole, and a bolt driven through the nut to fasten the bolt and nut assembly and the support together wherein the brake pad assembly and the support are positioned and the grooves are disposed in the grooved rails respectively; and a screw driven through the threaded hole into a hole of the right member to fasten the support and the brake pad assembly together.

A disc brake rotor apparatus includes an annular inner member for mounting to a hub, an annular outer member concentric with the annular inner member and having opposite braking surfaces, a first intermediate member extending radially outwardly from the annular inner member to the annular outer member, and a second intermediate member extending radially outwardly from the annular inner member to the annular outer member. The first intermediate member is at least partially and axially spaced apart from the second intermediate member and forms a chamber therebetween.

A bicycle disc brake rotor basically has a base rotor plate and a first thermally sprayed layer. The base rotor plate includes an outer portion having first and second base surfaces facing in opposite axial directions. The first thermally sprayed layer is laminated on the first base surface of the outer portion of the base rotor plate to form a first outer surface.

A brake lining of a disc brake device is disclosed, wherein the brake lining includes a carrier and a friction block. The carrier has a bearing portion, which has the friction block provided thereon, and a guide portion connected to an end of the bearing portion. A first virtual line passes through a free end of the guide portion and a junction between the guide portion and the bearing portion, and a second virtual line passes through two opposite points of the disc periphery, wherein an included angle formed therebetween is greater than 0. The smallest possible included angle in any embodiments is formed if the first virtual line passes through an end corner of the friction block. With such design, the disc would not be hindered by nor collide with the friction block during installation, which reduces the difficulty and time for installing or fixing the disc brake device.

A braking system is proposed for a vehicle, in particular a lightweight vehicle, in particular a pedal cycle, comprising a brake device, a mechanical urging device, and a hydraulic urging device, wherein the mechanical urging device and the brake device form a parking brake device, and the hydraulic urging device takes the form of a hydraulically actuable release device for the parking brake device.

A bicycle includes a frame, a charging circuit carried by the frame and configured to capture energy associated with movement of the bicycle, a power module carried by the frame, and a switch disposed electrically between the charging circuit and power module. The power module, in response to an indication that the bicycle is travelling downhill, closes the switch to enable energy transfer between the charging circuit and power module.
