An adjustable height seat post including supporting means connectable to a bicycle frame, a quill associated with said supporting means and having a head suitable to clamp rails of a bicycle saddle, hydraulic adjusting means, associated with said supporting means, for lifting or lowering said quill in a desired position selected by the user, said hydraulic adjusting means including a cylindrical chamber inside which a piston assembly is foreseen, and valve means, suitable to selectively open or close an hydraulic path through said piston assembly for selectively lock or unlock the position of said piston assembly relative to said cylindrical chamber, and the valve means comprise at least a valve body, associated with said piston assembly, which is selectively rotatable from an open position, in which the hydraulic path is open, to a closed position in which the hydraulic path is closed.

A bicycle component is provided with a base including a recess, a cover, a protected member that is at least partially arranged in the recess, and an engagement portion. The cover is configured to close the recess. The protected member is at least partially arranged in the recess. The engagement portion is configured separately from the cover and the protected member. The engagement portion is arranged in the recess and engages the cover that covers the recess.

A bicycle sensor device of the type not having Internet accessibility and comprising at least one sensor element adapted for registering data regarding the bicycle, a data storage unit adapted for storing registered data regarding the bicycle, a processor element adapted for generating an output of the sensor device, and a transmitter element adapted for transmitting by short range communication an output of the sensor device to an external device being adapted for displaying the output of the sensor device to a user. The processor element is configured to cause the transmitter element to transmit the output of the sensor device to an external device in one of a first mode, a second mode and a third mode. The first mode is a normal operation mode, the second mode is a service request mode, and the third mode is a data transfer mode.

A tiltable vehicle has a pair of front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis by a tilt linkage, such that the pair of front wheels and the chassis are configured to tilt in unison with respect to a roll axis of the chassis. The tilt linkage includes a four-bar linkage having a pair of upper bar segments coupled to the chassis at spaced-apart respective inboard joints. In some examples, the inboard joints of the upper bar segments are each disposed outboard of a central chassis joint of a lower bar of the tilt linkage. An orientation sensor is configured to detect directional information regarding a net force vector applied to the chassis, and a tilt actuator operatively coupled to the chassis and configured to selectively tilt the chassis. A controller is configured to selectively control the tilt actuator based on the directional information from the orientation sensor.

The present invention relates to a system for determining a posture of an operator of a device that transmits vibrations to the operator, wherein the system comprises at least one vibration sensor for measuring vibrations at at least one location on the body of the operator and/or the device, and a posture determining means for detecting one or more characteristics of the measured vibrations assigned to a predetermined posture and for determining the predetermined posture as the posture of the operator when the characteristic is detected.

A leg actuator mechanism, a method of manufacturing the leg actuator mechanism, and a doll implementing a leg actuator mechanism is provided. The leg actuator includes an upper leg mechanism comprising a hip end and an opposing knee end. The leg actuator also includes a lower leg mechanism comprising a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the first end of the lower leg portion is operably coupled to the knee end of the upper leg portion. The leg actuator further includes a follower mechanism. The follower mechanism includes a mounting defining a follower pathway configured to receive a follower joint. The follower mechanism also includes an upper follower connector and a lower follower connector. The follower mechanism moves at least one of the upper leg mechanism or the lower leg mechanism when activated.

The present application discloses systems and methods to present information to recreational vehicle riders and to provide customizable visual information to recreational vehicle riders. The present application further discloses systems and methods to connect and transmit audio information between a driver portable communication device and a driver audio interface device through the recreational vehicle and audio information between a passenger portable communication device and a passenger audio interface device.

Device to aesthetically cover and provide protection to motorcycle vehicle identification numbers (vin) and/or emission label stickers on a motorcycle frame. Typically motorcycle frames will have a vin and/or/combination emission information sticker attached to them. Typically these stickers are required and cannot be removed. Besides the fact that these stickers are aesthetically displeasing, they are also exposed to the elements and debris of the road when riding. The device comprises of a removable semi cylindrical panel. The panel is secured to a motorcycle frame to cover and protect a vin and/or/combination emissions information label sticker.
