A swing arm structure for a saddle riding electric vehicle includes a swing arm pivotably supported by a vehicle body frame at a pivot section and extending rearward from the pivot section to rotatably support a rear wheel, an electric motor that drives the rear wheel, and a speed reduction mechanism that reduces an output of the electric motor and transmit the output to the rear wheel, and a housing installed separately from the swing arm and attached to the swing arm, wherein the speed reduction mechanism and the housing are configured as a speed reduction mechanism unit in which the speed reduction mechanism is attached to the housing and integrated with the housing.

To provide a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle that can reduce an unsprung mass and the number of pieces of components on the rear wheel side of a shaft drive type motorcycle. In a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle transmitting a drive force of a power unit of a motorcycle to a rear wheel through a drive shaft that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, the drive shaft includes a propeller shaft that is connected to a rear end of an output shaft through a universal joint, the output shaft protruding to the vehicle body rear side from a case member of the power unit. A brake disk is attached to the output shaft, the brake disk being braked by a rear wheel brake caliper. The rear wheel brake caliper is fixed to a bracket that is arranged in the case member, and is disposed on the vehicle body upper side of the brake disk.

Disclosed is a mechanical amplifier device and mechanism thereof. The mechanical amplifier device comprises an input shaft, a housing and an output shaft. The input shaft receives an initial force as an input which is provided to a first wheel, thus enabling synchronous rotation of the first wheel. A lever is configured to receive the initial force from the first wheel, while the lever is attached to an outer edge of the first wheel, enabling rotation of the lever to amplify the initial force. The lever passes through a center of a fulcrum and attaches to an outer edge of a second wheel to provide the amplified initial force to the second wheel, which causes rotation of the second wheel. The output shaft then rotates synchronously upon receiving the amplified initial force from the second wheel and provides the amplified initial force to an external machine such as a bicycle.

The present invention relates to a cardan joint steering titanium alloy hand and foot cooperatively operated bicycle capable of being ridden with one leg, which comprises a bicycle front wheel (10), a front wheel fork frame (11), a bicycle rear wheel (20), a frame body (30), a seat cushion assembly (50), a steering handlebar (70), paired chain wheels (80) and a rear wheel fork frame (90). The upper end of a front fork rotating shaft (13) and the lower end of an assisting stem (76) are connected through a cardan joint component (77), symmetric ratchet wheels (21) are provided on the two sides of the bicycle rear wheel (20), the paired chain wheels (80) are fixed to the two sides of a frame middle shaft (88), pedal shaft pins (84) are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of the paired chain wheels (80), and the paired chain wheels (80) and the symmetric ratchet wheels (21) are connected through symmetric chains (23). By additionally providing the cardan joint component (77), the assisting sliding sleeve (60), the assisting swinging rod (46) and the assisting connecting rod (43), the present invention realizes the effect that the two hands participate in acting; by additionally providing the seat transverse swinging rod (45) and the pull rod swinging fork (42), the limit that the positions of two pedals of the conventional bicycle must have a difference of 180 degrees is overcome, the two feet do not need to apply force alternately, and the bicycle can be ridden with one leg.

A bicycle includes a first gear provided between the front wheel and the rear wheel, a second gear provided on the rear wheel, a shaft having a third gear meshing with the first gear and a fourth gear meshing with the second gear, a coupling part for detachably coupling a gear crank for rotating the first gear and transmitting a driving force of the gear crank to the first gear, and a frame provided between the front wheel and the rear wheel, the frame having a right frame fixed to a right side of the rear wheel and a left frame fixed to a left side of the rear wheel, wherein the shaft has an area provided between the right frame and the left frame.
