An earpiece includes an earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the ear piece housing, at least one inertial sensor disposed within the earpiece housing, the at least one inertial sensor operatively connected to the processor, and a wireless transceiver disposed within the earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor. The earpiece is configured to exchange inertial data with a vehicle having one or more inertial sensors. The vehicle may be a motorcycle, moped, scooter, bicycle, electric bicycle, personal transporter, hover board, or other type of vehicle.

A method for classifying an accident event of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle. The method is able to run as an algorithm on a device having an evaluation unit in order to indicate to the driver of the two-wheeled vehicle or to a third party a collision or fall of the two-wheeled vehicle with the aid of correspondingly generated and/or transmitted information. The device may be used for a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle and in particular for an electric bicycle. The use is naturally also possible for a motorcycle or some other single-track vehicle.

Position indicating devices, systems and methods useable for signaling the positions of pedestrians or vehicles.

The present application is directed to a Bicycle Stem with Integrated Bell that mounts between the steering post and the handle bars. It incorporates a utility accessory mount for attaching a front light, a camera or other devices that can be easily removed. In addition, it will have an internal cavity where a gravity and motion activated conventional bell that can ring using a magnetic on/off option or a mechanical on/off capability. The internal cavity may additionally house an electronic component with a bell or siren having a continuous sound or when the cyclist presses the on/off switch or an intermittent audible sound control button.

A mechanical warning device (1) for a vehicle, including for a velocipede, includes a body (2), a ringer (3) mounted on the body, a striker (4) movably mounted on the body and relative to the ringer, and a magnet mechanism (5) which is configured such that, when the striker is displaced from a stable position to an intermediate position in which it has been displaced away from the ringer, it drives the striker from the intermediate position to strike the ringer then brings the striker back into the stable position.

A personal transportation vehicle comprising a frame member including an aperture. The personal transportation vehicle further comprising a wireless speaker assembly configured within the frame member, wherein the wireless speaker assembly includes speakers and a protective grille that fits within the aperture. The personal transportation vehicle further comprising circuitry connected to the wireless speaker assembly that provides wireless speaker functionality with a mobile device, at least one wheel assembly, and a power source supplying power to the wireless speaker assembly.

Horn systems having a first bracket, a second bracket, a compressor and a horn are described. The horns may have a sound unit and a bell with tubing connecting the compressor and the sound unit. The tapered neck of the horn's bell may be secured by the second bracket surrounding the tapered neck and fixing it in position when the second bracket is secured relative to the first bracket.

A safety device and a safety method are usable with a motorcycle having a horn assembly and a hazard light assembly. The safety device includes a detection module and a hazard control module. The detection module may detect the activation of the horn assembly by an engagement of a horn switch of the horn assembly by a user and provide a trigger to activate the hazard control module. The hazard control module may place hazard lights of the hazard light assembly in an on state for a duration period in response to an activation of the horn assembly. The hazard control module may also automatically place the plurality of hazard lights in an off state at an end of the duration period.
