The present invention relates to electric lock.

The electric lock has a housing with a lockable clamp for securing the housing to a cycle that is adapted to receive part of a cycle frame. A tethering connector extends from the housing having first and second ends; the second end of the tethering connector is fixed to the housing and the first end of the tethering connector is secured to the housing by a lock.

An alert means is provided in/on the housing. The tethering connector and the housing define an electrical circuit which is operative to trigger the alert means when the circuit is broken.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that is integrated into a bike lock, lock, or lock assembly.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a lock assembly for an electric bicycle, having a lock module that is configured to lock a rear wheel of the electric bicycle and a communication module that facilitates wireless communications between the electric bicycle and a communications network.

An on-board locking assembly for a vehicle such as a bicycle or scooter comprising a movable member, such as a rigid bar, movably mounted to the vehicle at a first end and releasable from the vehicle at the second end, wherein a vehicle mounted receptacle is configured to fasten and release the second end, and wherein the rigid bar is configured to be movable relative to the vehicle to capture an object to which the vehicle may be fastened, and optionally obstruct the rotation of a vehicle wheel, and wherein the unfastening of the locking assembly may be controlled by wireless signal. A novel on-board retractable cable lock is also presented.

The disclosed apparatus may include a pin that is pushed in between two spokes of a wheel to lock the vehicle and removed from between the spokes of the wheel to unlock the vehicle. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a pin holster for securing the pin while the vehicle is unlocked. In some embodiments, a single-sided lock mechanism may be permanently affixed to and/or built in to a vehicle, increasing the ease of use of the single-sided lock by preventing users from misplacing the lock. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a mechanism for preventing accidental re-locking of a lock that has just been unlocked, further improving the user experience. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

The housing of a lock assembly for securing a wheeled vehicle contains a cable which is wound around a cable reel within the housing. The cable reel rotates around a reel axis and has two ends. The first end of the cable is connected to the cable reel while the second end of the cable has a locking feature. A lock core has a receptacle configured to receive the locking feature at the end of the cable. An axis of the core is substantially parallel to the reel axis.

The disclosure discloses a bike lock used to lock the bike to prevent bike theft. A first shaft and a second shaft of the bike lock are connected to the handlebar and the front wheel of the bike, respectively. When the bike lock is in a locking mode, the first shaft is not linked to move with the second shaft, preventing the user from controlling the front wheel by the handle effectively. When the bike lock is in an unlocking mode, the first shaft is linked to move with the second shaft. The first shaft can be linked to move with the second shaft by two different linkage mechanisms. One is to link the first shaft with the second shaft with a pin; the other is to firmly engage an engaging structure of one of the shafts to another.

Anti-theft device of a bicycle wheel includes at least one braking unit having two pads acting on a rim of the wheel and an actuator to control at least one braking unit. The actuator includes two tie-rods pivoting on shafts and is actuated by a key acting on a key cylinder to press the pads on the rim of the wheel. Each tie-rod is driven at one end by a secondary transmitter piston interacting with a primary transmitter piston and driving a receiver piston holding the pad at its other end. The rotational movement of the key cylinder is converted into a translational movement of the primary transmitter piston by an indirect movement converter.

A mobile device holder for mobility object includes: a main body coupled to a top end of the mobility object; a display positioned on a top surface of the main body and configured to provide a passenger of the mobility object with information; and a holder configured to be stored in the main body when coupled to a first side of the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second side of the main body and mount a mobile device thereon when separated from the first side, wherein the mobile device is supported together on the holder and a top surface of the display when mounted.

An electric vehicle fastening and charging combined system for a charging and storage station, such as those used for bicycle or scooter sharing programs, where a multi-purpose cable extends between the charging and storage station and the electric vehicle, and serves to fasten the electric vehicle to the charging and storage station to prevent removal or theft of the electric vehicle, and to conduct electricity to charge the electric vehicle, and wherein the fastening and/or detaching of the cable is controlled by a wireless signal.
