A bicycle handlebar accessory (or bicycle pod) 20 is disclosed which may be secured in a bicycle handlebar tube 24 and arranged into a deployed configuration 500. A host bicycle 10 with a pair of bicycle pods 20 secured in opposite ends of the handlebar tube 24 may be inverted for inspection or repairs while the bicycle pods 20 stabilize the inverted bicycle and keep the handlebar 24 (and any accessories mounted thereon) spaced from the ground 26 and away from potentially hazardous materials and conditions, including water, ice, frozen or super-heated pavement, sand, gravel, or other surface hazards such as road salt or deicing chemicals. The disclosed bicycle pod 20 may include a main body 28, a distal shaft 30, a proximal shaft 32, and a coil spring 34.

A retractable motorcycle stand is attached to one or more of the frame members of a motorcycle and activated via a pneumatic actuator providing movement to the retractable motorcycle stand between an elevated position and a retracted position. The retractable motorcycle stand has a cross shaft pivotable held to the motorcycle frame with one or more stand legs connected to the cross shaft. The activator link is connected to a cross shaft, a pneumatic actuator is attached to the motorcycle frame and the pneumatic actuator also attaches to an activator link.

The shopping cart kickstand brake includes a brake unit and a control unit. The shopping cart kickstand brake may be a braking device that may prevent a shopping cart from rolling over a surface by deploying a kickstand. As non-limiting examples, the surface may comprise a parking lot, a sidewalk, or a floor. The brake unit may be coupled to the bottom of the shopping cart. The brake unit may deploy and retract the kickstand. The control unit may be coupled to a handle of the shopping cart. The control unit may be adapted for a user to control extension and retraction of the kickstand.

A vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame; a drive unit provided on the vehicle body frame and movable on a floor surface; a seat disposed above the vehicle body frame to support buttocks of a user; a lift unit provided between the vehicle body frame and the seat to raise and lower the seat between a low position and a high position; at least one first leg extending downward from the seat and provided with a roller at a lower end thereof; and at least one second leg extending downward from the seat and provided with a contact member at a lower end thereof. When the seat is in the high position, the roller and the contact member are separated from the floor surface, and when the seat is in the low position, the roller and the contact member contact the floor surface.

The invention relates to a method for detecting measurement errors in the lateral angle of inclination () of a two-wheeled vehicle (1), comprising the steps of: in a first phase, checking (E3) that the engine (10) of the vehicle (1) is stopped; if the engine (10) is stopped, comparing (E6) the measurements of the inclination sensor (111) relative to the at least one reference inclination range; if the electronic control unit (11) determines that the measurements are outside the reference range, detecting an error in the measurement of the angle of inclination (); in a second phase, starting (E7) the engine (10) of the vehicle (1); computing (E8) the variation in the measurements of the inclination sensor (111) while the engine (10) is running; if the variation in the measurements of the inclination sensor (111) is below a predetermined threshold for a predetermined duration, detecting (E9) an error in the measurement of the angle of inclination ().
