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.

A bicycle stand is provided, including: a first connecting portion, a main body and at least two supporting members. The first connecting portion is configured to be assembled to a frame of a bicycle. The main body includes a rod member and a base connected with the rod member, and the rod member defines an axial direction and includes a second connecting portion detachably connected with the first connecting portion. The at least two supporting members are connected with the base and respectively include at least one supporting surface configured to be abutted against a placement surface, and the at least two supporting members are movable relative to the main body between an expanding position and a folded position.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle (1) comprising a chassis frame (2), a platform (5) and at least one folding side (6) movable between a raised position and a lowered position. The platform (5) comprises a stationary portion (50) and at least one lateral movable portion (51) vertically movable between a high position, in which it is flush with the stationary portion (50), and a low position, in which it has been lowered, there being provided means (7) for controlling the vertical movement of the at least one movable portion (51). The or each folding side (6) is connected to a respective movable portion (51) in such a way that they are vertically movable in one piece while the folding side (6) is in the lowered position.

The invention relates to a collapsible vehicle (10), in particular a collapsible motor scooter, having a rear frame part bearing a seat unit (70) and at least one rear wheel (11) and a front frame part (61) bearing a steering unit (19) and at least one front wheel (11). According to the invention, the front frame part (61) and the rear frame part (60) are connected to one another via an acentric pivot joint (80) such that during collapsing of the vehicle (10), at least one frame part (60, 61) is pivotable such that the at least one front wheel (11) and the at least one rear wheel (11) are arranged adjacent to one another, in particular congruently adjacent to one another.

In an inverted pendulum vehicle, the fore and aft dimension of the vehicle in a forwardly tilted, parked position is minimized. A pivot center line of a base end of a tail wheel arm is located inside a circle centered around a center of a tail wheel and having a radius equal to a distance between the center of the tail wheel and the rotational center line of the drive disks, and with respect to a hypothetical tail wheel arm, a first line is a line extending along the hypothetical tail wheel arm when the vehicle is in the upright position, and a second line is a line extending along the hypothetical tail wheel arm when the vehicle is in the forwardly tilted, park position, the pivot center line being located on or above a bisector of an angle formed by the first line and the second line.

The invention relates to a bicycle (100) having a frame structure (200) that comprises a swingarm structure (225) including a first substantially U-shaped sheet metal part for holding a wheel (103), the frame structure further comprising a frame bridge (219) consisting of a second substantially U-shaped sheet metal part. The first U-shaped sheet metal part is bent substantially in a first bending plane (P) to form a first U-shape, and the second U-shaped sheet metal part is bent in a second bending plane (Q) to form substantially a second U-shape. The first bending plane extends substantially perpendicular to the second bending plane.
