Compact foldable scooter and manufacture method of the same
A foldable electric scooter and a manufacture method of the same. The foldable electric scooter includes a main body assembly, a front fork assembly located at the front end of the main body assembly, a rear fork assembly located at the rear end of the main body assembly, a telescoping plate assembly located on top of the front fork assembly and a handlebar assembly located on top of the telescoping plate assembly. The foldable electric scooter has a double headset design that increases a rake angle for more steering stability while still keeping the steering upright for an upright holding of the handlebars. The foldable electric scooter is manufactured by stamping of flat plate material.

BICYCLE SPROCKET
A bicycle sprocket comprises sprocket teeth. The sprocket teeth include at least one first tooth and at least one second tooth. The at least one first tooth has a first radial-tooth height. The at least one first tooth has a first chain-engaging axial width which is smaller than a first distance defined between opposed outer link plates of a bicycle chain and which is larger than a second distance defined between opposed inner link plates of the bicycle chain. The first radial-tooth height is greater than the first chain-engaging axial width. The at least one second tooth has a second radial-tooth height. The at least one second tooth has a second chain-engaging axial width which is smaller than the second distance. The second radial-tooth height is greater than the second chain-engaging axial width. The first radial-tooth height is greater than the second radial-tooth height.

CONNECTING DEVICE FOR CHAINRING OF BICYCLE
A connecting device for a chainring of a bicycle is disclosed, including a connecting disc, a shaft, and a crank. The connecting disc is adapted to be engaged with a chainring, and has an axial bore, a bulging portion bulging from a central portion of the connecting disc, and a surrounding portion, which is flat, and surrounds an outer periphery of the bulging portion. The shaft passes through the axial bore to be fixedly engaged with the connecting disc. The shaft has a connecting end. The crank has a connecting end engaged with the connecting end of the shaft, and a bearing end adapted to bear an external force to make the crank rotate around the shaft. Whereby, the amount of materials used to make the connecting device is decreased. At the same time, the manufacturing cost, the size, and the weight of the connecting device are all reduced.
CLUTCH UNIT OF BICYCLE DERAILLEUR
A clutch unit of a bicycle derailleur includes a main body, a cover for the main body, a positioning assembly, and a pressure-applying assembly. Both assemblies are received in a space between the main body and the cover. The main body has a top side with a receiving groove and is pivotally connected with a rotating shaft, which extends out of a bottom portion of the receiving groove. The positioning assembly includes a ratchet, a pawl, and an elastic member. The ratchet is pivotally connected in the receiving groove, can rotate with the rotating shaft, and has ratchet teeth annularly arranged at an equal spacing. The pawl is adjacent to and can move toward and away from the ratchet, has a meshing tooth for meshing with the corresponding ratchet tooth, and is elastically biased toward the ratchet by the elastic member. The pressure-applying assembly applies resistance to the ratchet.
Bicycle Equipped with Versatile Dual Chain Drive
A bicycle is equipped with a dual chain drive system having two cranksets symmetrically mounted on the rear section of an adapted and compact frame. The cranksets are located in close proximity to the rear wheel hub axle to enhance the energy efficiency, responsiveness and manoeuvrability of the bicycle.
DRIVE SPROCKET
A drive sprocket comprising a plurality of teeth for meshing with a drive member to transmit rotary motion, the drive member including a plurality of engagement pockets engaging the teeth of the drive sprocket, wherein each tooth has a tooth profile defined by a first side comprising a first engagement surface and an opposite second side comprising a second engagement surface, which engagement surfaces are configured such that when driven, a tooth meshes to the engagement pocket at a first contact location on the first engagement surface and also at a second contact location on the second engagement surface, wherein the first contact location is radially offset from the second contact location.
