Each of the cubicles is equipped with an access door with a lock-opening system (preferably an intelligent electronic control lock operated by a mobile phone) and a charging system for the vehicle's battery.

A parking system includes an inventory status storage storing the status of inventory of a bicycle, two-wheeled vehicle, or car, and a control system that controls the status of inventory of the bicycle, two-wheeled vehicle, or car and controls check-in and check-out of the bicycle, two-wheeled vehicle, or car based on data stored in the inventory status storage. The parking system further includes a cooperative control unit for communicating with an external rental operator's server, converting instruction data on check-in and check-out transmitted from the server to commands processable for the control system, and instructing to do check-in and check-out.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide reduction in connectivity interruptions between vehicle docking stations and a management server for facilitating micro-mobility vehicle sharing services. To maintain communication sessions between the vehicle docking stations and the management server, heartbeat signals are transmitted periodically by each of the vehicle docking stations to the management server. An unavailability of the connection between a vehicle docking station and the management server may be detected based on an interruption to the heartbeat signals. In response to determining the unavailability of the connection, the management server may instruct a vehicle within a predetermined distance of the vehicle docking station to establish a short-range connection with the vehicle docking station and retrieve docking station data from the vehicle docking station.

A cockpit assembly for a micro-mobility fleet vehicle may include at least two visible and at least partially opposed faces linked by a fold aligned along an axis of a handlebar assembly, such as a first face, a second face, and an intermediate portion connecting the first face to the second face. The first face may include a headlight assembly. The second face may include a display of a user interface that is arranged to face a rider of the fleet vehicle. The display may be disposed adjacent to and/or beneath a mobile device holder. The first face, the second face, and the intermediate portion may wrap at least partially around the handlebar assembly to position the first face towards a front of the fleet vehicle and the second face towards a rear, a rider, and/or a seat of the fleet vehicle.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide modular docking systems and rebalancing systems for micro-mobility fleet vehicles. A modular micro-mobility fleet vehicle docking system includes a base platform including a modular station body receptacle disposed on a top surface of the base platform and a modular station body including a vehicle retention system configured to secure a micro-mobility fleet vehicle to the modular station body. The modular station body includes a base platform interface disposed at a bottom surface of the modular station body that is configured to be physically secured to the base platform by the modular station body receptacle. The modular station body receptacle includes a station locking interface configured to releasably secure the modular station body to the base platform and/or an electrical interface configured to provide power to the modular station body.

A method for recharging an electrical energy storage device of all or some of a plurality connected to the chain. All the vehicles connected to the chain being referred to as the stock. Each vehicle includes an electronic circuit connected to the energy storage device. An electric current flowing between the electronic circuits of at least two consecutive vehicles among the vehicles in the stock recharges the energy storage device or devices.

Embodiments disclosed herein include an electric assist bicycle adapted for a both personal and public use, and subcomponents of the bicycle. The electric assist bicycle can include a hollow frame with one or more cables routed within the hollow frame. The hollow frame can be configured with an internal battery compartment. The electric assist bicycle can further include a modular electronic locking system.

A vehicle station system includes a dock having a latch configured to secure a bicycle to the dock and release the bicycle from the dock. The dock also includes a computing system that includes a processor and an interface operatively coupled to the processor and configured to receive authentication information from a user. The processor is configured to authenticate the user based on the authentication information, and, responsive to authentication of the user, cause the latch to transition from a locked configuration to an open configuration such that the user can remove the bicycle from the dock. The computing system also includes a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to maintain a communication connection between the dock and a remote server. The transceiver is also configured to transmit a user identification corresponding to the user and a bicycle identification corresponding to the bicycle to the remote server.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with lightweight docking stations for one or more micromobility transit vehicles. The docking station may include one or more racks configured to dock micromobility transit vehicles, a lock hole in a rack plate of the one or more racks, and a base. The lock hole may be configured to align with a respective locking device of each of the one or more micromobility transit vehicles. The base may be configured to elevate the one or more micromobility transit vehicles to align the respective locking device with the lock hole. A method may include identifying at least one rack from the one or more racks is available for docking the one or more micromobility transit vehicles and communicating with a mobile computing device to display an indication of the at least one rack available for docking the one or more micromobility transit vehicles.

A smart lock of a bicycle includes a bicycle locking apparatus and a dock locking apparatus. The bicycle locking apparatus works with a key to lock the bicycle without dock, and the dock locking apparatus works with a dock to lock the bicycle to the dock. The bicycle locking apparatus includes a gear, a locking member, and a driving module. The locking member has a locking tooth portion, the driving module moves the locking member to engage and disengage the locking tooth portion of the locking member with an engaging portion of the key. The dock locking apparatus has a locking latch and a stop member. The driving module moves the locking member to let the stop member against or away from the locking latch to lock or unlock the bicycle to the dock.
