DAMPING FORCE VARIABLE SHOCK ABSORBER
There is provided a compact damping force variable shock absorber capable of implementing different adjustments for a compression-side stroke and an extension-side stroke as initial settings. A damping force variable device in one embodiment includes: a main valve that opens and closes to control flow of oil caused by sliding of a piston in a cylinder, thereby generating damping force; a pilot chamber into which a portion of the flow of the oil is introduced so that internal pressure is applied to the main valve in a valve-closing direction; a pilot valve that opens and closes to adjust the internal pressure of the pilot chamber; and a communication passage that communicates the pilot chamber with a rod-side oil chamber or a piston-side fluid chamber.
SELF-BALANCING TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE
In an aspect, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle is provided, having a body, and first and second wheels rotatably coupled to the body. The second wheel has at least one lateral roller rotatable about an axis that is one of oblique and orthogonal to a rotation axis of the second wheel. At least one motor is coupled to the second wheel to control rotation of the second wheel and the at least one lateral roller. At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.
Leisure vehicle
A hybrid leisure vehicle equipped with an electric motor and an engine includes: an accelerator sensor that detects an operation amount of an accelerator operation member operated by a user; a controller that includes a processor and a memory and that controls the electric motor and the engine based on a detection signal of the accelerator sensor; and a selection input device connected to the controller and operated by the user. The memory stores a plurality of mode programs each of which specifies how to change states of the electric motor and the engine depending on vehicle-related parameters. The processor selects a mode program from the plurality of mode programs in response to an input provided by the user to the selection input device, and controls the electric motor and the engine according to the selected mode program.

CANISTER STRUCTURE FOR SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
A canister structure for a saddle riding vehicle, including a canister connected with a fuel tank using a connection line, the canister adsorbing fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank, and a purge valve disposed in a path through which the fuel vapor is returned from the canister to an air intake system of an engine, includes an annular canister rubber that fits over an outer cylinder of the canister; a canister stay disposed on a vehicle body side; and an engagement portion disposed on the purge valve. In the canister structure, the canister rubber has, formed on an outer periphery thereof, an anterior-side mounting portion and a posterior-side mounting portion each having an insertion hole in which the canister stay is inserted and a purge valve mounting portion having an engagement portion insertion hole in which the engagement portion of the purge valve is inserted.
