A foldable training wheel device has an outer tube, an inner tube, a positioning module, and a training wheel. The inner tube is inserted in the outer tube, is rotatable in the outer tube, is up and down moveable in the outer tube, and has a riding position and a folded position. The positioning module is mounted on the outer tube and the inner tube to position the inner tube on one of the riding position and the folded position relative to the outer tube. The training wheel is mounted on a bottom of the inner tube. Therefore, the foldable training wheel device is provided with two using modes for users.

Provided is an inverted pendulum vehicle including a display unit for providing a guide on an operation for putting the vehicle body into the tilted position from the upright position or into the upright position from the tilted position according to a state of the vehicle. In particular, the display unit indicates a direction in which the vehicle body is required to be moved when placing the vehicle body from the tilted position to the upright position and from the upright position to the tilted position.

A clutch locking mechanism is a clutch locking mechanism (80) mounted in a saddle type vehicle (1) and includes a clutch (26) which enters an engaged state where power can be transmitted when an actuator (28) is operated and returns to a disengaged state where power cannot be transmitted when the actuator (28) is not operated, and a locking mechanism (100) having an operator (101) which is able to bring the clutch (26) into the engaged state separately from an operation of the actuator (28).

Motorized hub assemblies for use with platforms and the corresponding motorized platforms are presented. At least one of the hub assemblies can be a motor and can contain an internal motor to propel the platform when activated. In some embodiments, the motorized platform has two sets of motorized wheels or two sets or motorized treads for differential rate maneuvering. In some embodiments, different base platforms are mounted to a single set of wheels or a single tread to provide a sporty style ride. A handlebar can also be implemented for greater stability. In all cases, there is no requirement for an electronic stabilization platform.

A kickstand pad is configured to provide a surface on the ground on which a kickstand of a motorcycle rests to increase the motorcycle's stability when the motorcycle is parked. The kickstand pad includes a support pad, a tether, and a hook or clip. The support pad increases the amount of level surface area on which a free end of the kickstand can rest to avoid the kickstand embedding or piercing itself into the ground or soft pavement when the motorcycle is parked, which can result in a dangerous and/or damaging fall of the motorcycle. The support pad includes notches or winding features that facilitate storage of the tether when the kickstand pad is not in use. The tether may also serve as a visual reminder to the motorcycle operator to pick up the kickstand pad before driving away.

A side-stand for a motorcycle enables both improvement in appearance and weight reduction by using a tapered pipe member. A side-stand for a motorcycle includes an elongate portion having a hollow structure, and a grounding portion. An outer shape of the elongate portion is tapered in appearance toward the grounding portion and, in a state in which the side-stand is unfolded, the elongate portion looks thinner as a whole in a side view than in a front view of a vehicle body. The elongate portion has a wall thickness on the distal end side equivalent to or smaller than a wall thickness on a proximal end side. The elongate portion is formed by increasing a diameter of a distal end side inner peripheral portion of a round pipe member by cutting, and then swaging an outer peripheral portion to reduce the diameter and obtain a tapered shape.

A stand support structure of a saddle riding vehicle has a main frame, a pivot block configured to swingably support a rear wheel-supporting swing arm, and a stand-supporting bracket. The pivot block has a first plate and a second plate attached to the main frame. The first plate and the second plate are coupled to each other. The first plate has a protrusion protruding outward farther than an extension end of the second plate. The stand-supporting bracket is coupled to a surface of the protrusion facing in a vehicle width direction.
