AUTONOMOUS BICYCLE SYSTEM
Disclosed is an autonomous bicycle system including a navigation system, a steering system, a pedal assist system providing extra propulsion when engaged, and provides a combination of internal and external sensors, cameras for detecting threats and obstacles in an environment. Respectively the autonomous bicycle can be controlled manually or controlled remotely by a control network alternatively in real-time to switch from a manual driving state to an autonomous driving state or vice versa in respect to mechanical motion involving steering, velocity and position and maintaining balance support of autonomous bicycle when in motion or when stationary. A control network providing a virtual operator systematically controlling a current position of the autonomous bicycle in real-time based on at least one rider-selected starting location and destination location, and a smartphone connected therein providing an APP linking the rider to use the autonomous bicycle for various rider plans, control network plans or service plans.
Bike having automatic landing wheel apparatus
A bike having an automatic landing wheel apparatus includes a left landing wheel arm on the left side of the bike to vertically move a left landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A right landing wheel arm on the right side of the bike vertically moves a right landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A left driving unit drives the left landing wheel arm to move the left landing wheel upward and downward. A right driving unit drives the right landing wheel arm to move the right landing wheel upward and downward. A speed detection unit detects the speed of the bike. A controller is connected with the speed detection unit, the left driving unit, and the right driving unit to move the left and right landing wheels upward or downward in response to the detected speed of the bike.

Footrest Arrangement for a Motorcycle
A footrest arrangement is for a motorcycle, wherein the footrest arrangement comprises at least two or more individually pivotable footrest devices with footrest surfaces placed with an internal spacing between them so a motorcycle rider can choose whether to rest his foot on one or more of the footrest surfaces simultaneously.
SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
A saddle riding vehicle includes a body frame and a cable. The body frame includes a main frame extending rearward from a head pipe, a seat frame extending rearward from the main frame, and a rear frame extending rearward from the main frame and connected to the seat frame. The cable is routed so as to run along the body frame. A concave portion depressed in a vehicle width direction is disposed in a connecting portion. The connecting portion connects the main frame with a front end portion of the rear frame. A plate-shaped member that covers the concave portion is disposed. The cable is routed between the concave portion and the plate-shaped member.
MOTORCYCLE KICKSTAND MOUNTING METHOD AND SYSTEM
A motorcycle kickstand mounting assembly includes a mount for holding a license plate of a motorcycle. A kickstand plate supports a kickstand of the motorcycle on a ground surface to prevent the kickstand from sinking into the ground surface. The kickstand plate is comprised of a material allowing the license plate to be seen through the kickstand plate when the kickstand plate covers the license plate. A plurality of couplers releasably couples the kickstand plate in a stored position covering the license plate such that the license plate is positioned between the kickstand plate and the mount.

SYSTEM FOR ATTACHING A MOBILITY DEVICE TO AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER
A means of providing motorized locomotion to a mobility device such as a wheelchair utilizing a first portion of the present invention configured to attach immovably but releasably to an array of mobility devices and configured to interlock with the second portion of the present invention, which is configured to attach immovably but releasably to an array of electric scooters. A movable feature permits the first portion and second portion of the present invention to be interlocked while keeping all wheels of the mobility device and the scooter in contact with the supporting surface. A stand for the electric scooter lowers when the two units are separated and lifts when they are engaged, to hold the electric scooter in an approximately vertical position when not engaged and to provide freedom of movement when engaged.
Three-wheeled tilting vehicle
A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.
TWO-TIERED STRUCTURAL FRAME FOR A THREE-WHEELED CARGO BIKE
Embodiments of the present invention include to a two-tier structural frame for a three-wheeled cargo bike. The structural frame can be the platform for the entire bike and includes both steering and suspension parts. The frame of the bike and its related suspension and steering parts provide stability, durability, and comfort while in motion under human pedal power, as well as motion from a hybrid of human pedal and electric-assisted power sources.
