BRAKE SYSTEM FOR BICYCLES
20220194513 · 2022-06-23 · ·

Brake calipers and rotors for bicycles are described herein. An example brake caliper includes an outboard caliper portion to be disposed inboard of a frame of the bicycle. The outboard caliper portion includes an outboard caliper body and an outboard brake pad that is fixed relative to the outboard caliper body. The brake caliper also includes an inboard caliper portion coupled to the outboard caliper body. The inboard caliper portion is disposed inboard of the outboard caliper portion when the brake caliper is coupled to the bicycle. The inboard caliper portion includes an inboard caliper body and an inboard brake pad that is movable relative to the inboard caliper body.

BRAKE ROTORS FOR BICYCLES

Brake rotors for bicycles are described herein. An example brake rotor for a bicycle includes a carrier to be coupled to a hub of the bicycle. The brake rotor also includes a brake track having braking surfaces to be engaged by brake pads. The brake track is disposed radially outward of the carrier. The brake track has a first thickness and the carrier has a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The brake track is coupled to the carrier such that the brake track is axially movable relative to the carrier while being radially and circumferentially constrained relative to the carrier.

MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES

Motor control systems and methods for micromobility transit vehicles are provided. A micromobility transit vehicle may include an electric motor configured to drive a rotation of a wheel. The electric motor may include a plurality of windings and a plurality of switching circuits. The switching circuits may be configured to selectively direct current from a power supply through the windings to generate a torque by the electric motor to drive the rotation of the wheel in response to associated control signals. The switching circuits may be configured to passively bypass the windings in response to an interruption of the control signals. Depletion of the power supply may result in the interruption of the control signals.

DISC BRAKE CALIPER LOCATION ON A TRAILING-LINK SUSPENSION FORK
20220169332 · 2022-06-02 ·

The present disclosure relates to the location of a disc brake caliper mounted to a trailing-link suspension fork. In one aspect, the disc brake caliper is attached to a sprung portion of the fork, hence adding zero mass and corresponding inertia to the un-sprung portion of the suspension system. Further, the disc brake caliper is positioned forward of the wheel axle and linkage member.

Brake control device, braking device including brake control device, and brake system

A brake control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control a braking unit that is configured to brake at least one of a plurality of rotating bodies of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control the braking unit upon determining an ABS control is performed to decrease a braking force of a first rotating body included in the plurality of rotating bodies so that a braking force of a second rotating body, which is different from the first rotating body and included in the plurality of rotating bodies, is increased by a force that is different from hydraulic pressure.
