A non-backdrivable passive balancing system for a single-axle dynamically balanced robotic device includes a body that includes a distal end and a proximal end, a controller module, and an actuator communicatively coupled to the controller module of the single-axle dynamically balanced robotic device. The actuator receives an engagement signal from the controller module, the engagement signal corresponding to an indication that the dynamically balanced robotic device is stationary, and the actuator causes the linkage to move the body from a disengaged position to an engaged position such that the distal end of the body contacts a ground surface and supports the dynamically balanced robotic device in a substantially upright position.

The invention relates to a two-wheeled bicycle stand having at least one foot (6) comprising at least one recess (9), said at least one recess forming at least one cavity upon contact between said foot (6) and a surface, characterized in that in at least one of said cavities a vacuum can be built up and released, and characterized in that the release of the vacuum and/or the build-up of the vacuum necessitates a verification. Such a bicycle stand can be fastened to a bicycle, resulting in improved stability and protection against theft.

This bicycle stand installation adapter (1) is equipped with: affixed bodies (11) to be affixed to left and right chain stays (8) constituting parts of the frame (7) of a bicycle (100) with quick-release skewers; affixing pieces (12) that are affixed to the affixed bodies (11) and extend along the chain stays (8); and spacers (25) to be interposed between left and right rear end parts (10) and the corresponding affixing pieces (12), the left and right rear end parts (10) being located at the back end of the frame (7). The affixing pieces (12) are affixed to both ends (5) of a substantially C-shaped dual-leg kickstand (2) to be installed on the rear end parts (10).

An electric vehicle includes a frame unit and a vehicle body cover unit. The frame unit includes tread tubes extending toward a rear side and arranged pairwise as a left tread tube and a right tread tube. The vehicle body cover unit includes a tread board that shields the left tread tube and the right tread tube. The frame unit is provided with a battery box that receives and holds therein a battery and the frame unit is provided thereon with a side stand. The electric vehicle is provided with an electric connection mechanism on the vehicle body at one side thereof opposite to the side stand for replenishing the battery with external electric power so that a drawback that the electric vehicle tips over when replenishment of electric power is being made to the battery is prevented to thereby improve utilization of the electric vehicle.

A motorcycle frame includes a head pipe, a pair of front main frames, and a pair of rear main frames. The pair of front main frames separates in a vehicle width direction from the head pipe, extends toward a power engine that is located on a rear side of the head pipe, and includes power-engine fixing parts that are fixed to the power engine at positions that overlap with the power engine as viewed in the vehicle width direction. The pair of rear main frames extends rearward from the power-engine fixing parts of the pair of front main frames.
