A side-stand for a motorcycle enables both improvement in appearance and weight reduction by using a tapered pipe member. A side-stand for a motorcycle includes an elongate portion having a hollow structure, and a grounding portion. An outer shape of the elongate portion is tapered in appearance toward the grounding portion and, in a state in which the side-stand is unfolded, the elongate portion looks thinner as a whole in a side view than in a front view of a vehicle body. The elongate portion has a wall thickness on the distal end side equivalent to or smaller than a wall thickness on a proximal end side. The elongate portion is formed by increasing a diameter of a distal end side inner peripheral portion of a round pipe member by cutting, and then swaging an outer peripheral portion to reduce the diameter and obtain a tapered shape.

A bicycle rack for use in providing temporary parking for a large number of bicycles, comprising a rail and a plurality of tire trays evenly spaced, along said rail and pivotal in motion from a parallel position to said rail to a depioyed position, substantially perpendicular to said rail, each said tire tray including a recessed wheel bed for seating a wheel of a bicycle therein. The wheel beds are adjustable to accommodate bicycles with tires of various widths. The tire trays have channels for holding printed signs. The rack is compact, modular, and stable. The rack breaks down for easy transport and storage and facilitates both, the rapid setup and breakdown of an orderly temporary parking area for a large number of bicycles. The rack is well suited for multisport races where an orderly transition area significantly enhances the profile of the event.

A two-wheel vehicle includes a frame and a metallic side stand, rotatable within a bracket attached to the frame. The metallic side stand is rotatable between a first position that supports the two-wheel vehicle when parked and a second position substantially adjacent the frame. The two-wheel vehicle also includes an inductive sensor attached to the two-wheel vehicle and connected to detect at least one position of the metallic side stand and a circuit connected to receive an output from the inductive sensor and to provide a signal that reflects the position of the side stand.

An locker for storing equipment is disclosed. The locker includes at least one first member defining a storage space with an opening for a user to access the storage space, a second member adjacent to said at least one first member, and defining a first side of an open locker slot, and a door having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the door being shaped to enclose the opening of the storage space. The second portion of the door extending from the first portion of the door and being shaped to form a second side of the open locker slot. The door having an unlocked state and a locked state. The unlocked state provides access to the storage space and the open locker slot. In the locked state, secondary equipment is maintained in the storage space and equipment is maintained in the open locker slot.

The present disclosure relates to a stabilizing device for a vehicle. More particularly, but not exclusively, to a device to prevent unstable condition and a tip over for a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a motorcycle or the like. The stabilizing device comprises of a fixing unit, a first slidable unit, a second slidable unit, a first support arm, a second support arm, a wheel and a control unit. The stabilizing device of the present disclosure provides a cost-effective, rapidly acting, customizable, reliable and fully automatic solution for balancing the vehicle.

This invention comprises a motorcycle loading apparatus comprising a first angled receiving platform, a second angled receiving platform, a u-shaped connector between the first angled receiving platform and the second angled receiving platform which allows the first angled receiving platform and the second angled receiving platform to become displaced, a first tire support, a second tire support, a connector between the first tire support and the second tire support, a first base connecting the first angled receiving platform to the first tire support, a second base connecting the second angled receiving platform to the second tire support, a first and second tire engaging member, and at least one wheel attached to the first and second base. The invention also describes a method of loading a motorcycle into the motorcycle loading apparatus.

A motorcycle kickstand support assembly that is configured to be mounted adjacent to a license plate on a motorcycle wherein a kickstand support plate is releasably secured therein. The kickstand support plate of the present invention is configured to be placed on a soft ground and receive the end of the kickstand thereon so as to maintain the motorcycle in an upright position. The present invention includes a housing having a plurality of walls forming an interior volume. The kickstand support plate is inserted into the housing and is biasly positioned within the interior volume utilizing wedge member present proximate the rear end of the housing. A pair of shoulder members engage locking tabs and the spring mounted wedge member keeps the shoulder members biased against the locking tabs so as to secure the kickstand mounting plate.

An apparatus for use with a rack of lockers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a key-facilitation server configured to cooperate with a locker server, and also configured to receive a key-access request. The locker server is associated with a rack of lockers including a first compartment configured to allow storage of secondary equipment, a second compartment having an open locker slot configured to maintain storage of equipment, and a locker divider separating the first compartment from the second compartment. The key-access request is configured to indicate a user request configured to request usage of an access key. The access key is also configured to be usable by the locker server. The locker server is configured to receive a locker-access request. The locker-access request is configured to indicate access of a selected locker is user requested. The locker server is configured to use the access key so as to facilitate secured user access of the selected locker associated with the rack of lockers.

Disclosed herein is a novel electric motorcycle charging stand and methods of using such a novel electric motorcycle charging stand for charging an electric motorcycle. Such stands present an opportunity to include functionality for storing energy and incorporate electronical components in the stand to charge electric motorcycles when not in use. In one embodiment a detached motorcycle stand can be arranged to stores electrical energy (for example, via an electrical energy storage element) and enables charging of an electric motorcycle (for example, via a charging enablement element). Thus, energy can be stored when there is convenient access to the electrical power grid and the electric motorcycle can then be charged in environments and locations that do not have ready access to the electrical grid.
