A bicycle bearing system comprising: an integrated cup, the integrated cup having a non-flanged outer diameter; a plurality of rolling elements configured to abut and rotate against an inner surface of the cup race; an inner race configured to abut and rotate about the plurality of rolling elements, the inner race having an inner diameter; wherein the rolling elements do not have a separate outer race, but rather the inner surface of the integrated cup acts as the outer race to the rolling elements; wherein the rolling elements' sizes are maximized to the limitation that the non-flanged outer diameter is smaller or equal to a first maximum diameter, and wherein the rolling elements sizes are maximized to the limitation that the inner diameter is greater or equal to a first minimum diameter.

To allow a wide range of existing bicycles to be easily converted into electric power assisted bicycles, a retrofit electric machine for a bicycle includes: a housing (52) configured to be attached to a frame (18) of a bicycle (10), an electric motor (54) attached to the housing (52); an annular rotating plate (84) mounted on the housing (52) in a rotatable manner to be centered around a rotational center line of a crankshaft (24) for a pedal of the bicycle (10), and connected to the electric motor (54) in a torque transmitting relationship; and a connecting member (90) including a first connecting portion (92) connected to the crankshaft (24) with a shape fit so as to rotate integrally with the crankshaft (24), and a connecting pin (98) secured to the rotating plate (84).

A Steerable Crank System including a Steerer Base firmly connected to the chassis/mainframe of a machine, said Steerer Base containing and supporting Grooved Cog Wheel situated in-line and parallel to the power driving direction in a manner that allows said Grooved Cog Wheel to rotate around its axis and drive the machine power, said Steerer Base containing and supporting a Fork in a manner that allows said Fork to rotate around its main axis and by that rotation movement it controls the steering, said Fork containing a 2.sup.nd axis supporting and housing a Crank Shaft in a manner that allows said Crank Shaft to rotate around its own axis, on said Crank Shaft attached a Butterfly Connector, said Butterfly Connector coupling together said Crank Shaft and Grooved Cog Wheel.

A completely transparent spherical body is surrounded externally by a plurality of leaf plates arranged in equal spacing along a main outer ring rack of the spherical body. Two rubber tires are included to wrap the spherical body. A rider inside the spherical body pedals to rotate the spherical body forward. A vehicle having the spherical body can be autonomously operated to move on land or water, and in the air. In addition, to operate this vehicle, no specific road or environmental requirement is needed, and no other obstacle, even a traffic accident can stop its movement.
