An autonomous electronic bicycle comprises a frame, a front wheel that can be powered by a first electronic motor, a rear wheel that can be powered by a second electronic motor, and handlebars that can steer the front wheel which can be controlled by a third electronic motor. Similarly, the autonomous electronic bicycle can comprise a set of sensors used for balance. The autonomous electronic bicycle can use the balance sensors to determine a current state of the autonomous electronic bicycle and drive the electronic motors to balance the autonomous electronic bicycle and achieve a target pose of the autonomous electronic bicycle. A neural network can be trained to determine one or more motor outputs of the autonomous electronic bicycle based on the target pose and the current state.

A rear fork of a bicycle frame. The rear fork includes a base, a first arm, and a second arm. Each of the first arm and the second arm extend rearward from the base. At least one wheelie step is coupled to the rear fork. The wheelie step includes an extension rotatably coupled to and extending from one of the first arm and the second arm, and a foot step coupled to the extension. The extension is configured to rotate along an axis extending in a direction from the first arm to the second arm. A lock is configured to lock the extension to the one of the first arm and the second arm at different rotational positions along the axis.

A tilt control system for a sidecar and a motorcycle. The tilt control system can include a main frame, a tilting frame, and an actuator. The actuator can be coupled to the main frame and to the tilting frame, and can be configured to control tilting of the tilting frame relative to the main frame. The tilt control system can include a sensor, and a controller in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The controller can be configured to determine an operating parameter based on sensor data received from the sensor, compare the operating parameter to a threshold criteria, and cause the actuator to control the orientation of the tilting frame relative to main frame, based on the comparison of the operating parameter to the threshold criteria.

An auxiliary power for man-powered vehicles includes an air propelling device and a control system. The air propelling device is mounted on a man-powered vehicle for discharging air toward the back of the man-powered vehicle. Due to the reaction force, the man-powered vehicle is provided with forward thrust. The control system connects to the air propelling device in a wired or wireless manner to control the amount of air discharged by the air propelling device.

This disclosure describes a low-profile, high-load, and hands-free ball-balancing omnidirectional rolling system with multiple human-robot interfaces for modular and adaptive design configurations and input control interfaces. The disclosed platform uses a self-balancing ball-based robot to allow for a safe, compact, high-load, self-balancing and intuitive mobility device for a person with lower-limb disability. Advanced driving assistance such as obstacle avoidance and semi-autonomous navigation between predefined locations is also disclosed.

A driver's aid for a motorcycle includes a body that positions around an engine of the motorcycle. At least one slide rail has a first end hingedly coupled to the body and a cantilevered second end. A compression rod extends between the body and the slide rail.

A mobile carrier apparatus comprises a chassis, a drive mechanism supported by the chassis and arranged to drive a plurality of wheels, a body supported by the chassis and an internal volume defined within the body, and an opening in the body that provides access to the internal volume, a rim formed within the opening and including a support surface configured to receive and support a removable payload above the chassis. A payload can be provided that is configured for use with a mobile carrier.

Disclosed is an autonomous scooter for personal use for riders to ride hands free since the autonomous scooter drives itself, or they can drive it manually. Respectively the autonomous scooter comprising an autonomous driving mode for personal use or for commercial use to travel to the ideal destination and origin plans where the rider can rent one or more autonomous scooters, and the rider can leave the A-Scooter wherever their destination is. The autonomous scooter is virtually controlled from a control center through tele-communication or a network server to robotically steer with or without a rider onboard. The autonomous scooter in which the rider stands up to ride and may opt to manual control the scooter or use the scooter with hands free during autonomous driving mode with respect to having stabilization to prevent tipping. The control center associated with a rental service plan and a battery charging service plan.
