The top plate may include a plurality of slots, each of which is configured to receive a neck portion of a scooter. Each of the slots may be configured to support a scooter in an upright position when the scooter is placed therein. The slots may be tapered, allowing for scooters of varying designs to be supported therein. The rack plate may also include one or more apertures configured to receive a portion of a locking mechanism, such that the locking mechanism can be used to secure a scooter within a slot to prevent theft.

Lock mounting assemblies are disclosed for storing and mounting a locking apparatus to a transportation device. The mounting assemblies include one or more straps or connectors for securing the mounting assembly to the transportation device. The mounting assemblies having a structure to securely retain the locking apparatus on the transportation device and provide easy access to and release of the locking apparatus from the mounting assembly.

Configurable safety device comprising a main branch which, in turn, comprises a cable delimited by a flashing and a steering lock, with a series of rings and anchorage clamps of complementary geometries arranged on the cable in such a way that, in the locked position, all these elements are closely joined and the anchorage clamps are blocked without the possibility of opening, while in the unlocked position, spaces are generated between the elements, anchorage clamps and rings, allowing the opening of these anchorage clamps. The passage from the closed to the unlocked position is obtained by increasing the available cable extension, and the passage from the unlocked to the locked position by decreasing it. For this purpose, the steering lock has the means to increase or decrease this extension of available cable as well as a latch to fix it.

The present invention relates to a bicycle lock for blocking of a wheel of a bicycle in a locked state. The bicycle includes a tube assembly including a frame with mutually fixed tube elements and movable tube elements, such as a front stay. The bicycle includes a housing, a bolt for providing a blocking action in a blocking state with which the wheel is blockable, a channel for arranging therein of the bolt, and a latch for, in a latching state of the lock, keeping the latest in the blocking state. The latch in the blocking state is in cooperation with receiving means defining a state of cooperation in which the bolt and the receiving means block the wheel of the bicycle.

A bicycle inductive lock included a housing, a lock body, and a control circuit device. An annular latch and the lock body are disposed in the housing. A back cover is configured to close the housing. The annular latch has a first engaging groove, a second engaging groove and a third engaging groove. The lock body includes a first baffle that can be engaged in the first engaging groove or the second engaging groove, a second baffle that can be engaged in third engaging groove, and a speed reduction motor having a lever. The lever includes an angle control block and an eccentric paddle. The control circuit device includes an induction unit and a key fob. The key fob is configured to generate induction with the induction unit for transmitting a signal. With the above configuration, the bicycle inductive lock can sense the signal to be locked or unlocked.

Systems and methods related to seat clamp assemblies for micro-mobility transit vehicles are disclosed. A seat post clamp assembly may include a seat clamp configured to physically secure the seat post clamp assembly to a seat post tube of the micro-mobility transit vehicle. The seat clamp may further include an adjustment handle coupled to the seat clamp via a first fastener and a second fastener. The first fastener may be inserted through a first through-hole of the seat clamp, a second through-hole of the seat clamp, and a first fastener slot disposed in the adjustment handle. The first fastener may be received in a first axle disposed in the adjustment handle. The second fastener may be inserted through a third through-hole of the seat clamp and a second fastener slot of the adjustment handle. The second fastener may be received in a second axle disposed in the adjustment handle.

A bicycle includes a frame, a motor, a battery, and a key interface. The frame includes a head tube, a down tube coupled to the head tube, a central hub coupled to an end of the down tube opposite the head tube and defining an internal cavity, and a mount positioned at least partially directly underneath the internal cavity. The motor is coupled to the mount such that the motor is positioned at least partially underneath the internal cavity. The battery extends at least partially into the internal cavity of the central hub and positioned at least partially directly above the motor. The battery is configured to power the motor. The key interface is supported by the mount. Engaging the key interface releases the battery to facilitate removing the battery from the frame.

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.

An electronic lock includes a lock shell, a rope winded disc, a lock rope head, a sliding lock block, and a controlling and driving device. The lock shell has a first lock hole and an insertion hole. A lock rope is winded at the rope winded disc, and the lock rope is operatively pulled out from the rope winded disc or returns inside the rope winded disc. The lock rope head is inserted into the insertion hole and connected with one end of the lock rope. The sliding lock block is disposed inside the lock shell through a spring, and one end of the sliding lock block is placed in the first lock hole.

The present disclosure provides high security, personalized locking devices for securing a wide variety of personal transportation devices. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may provide a locking mechanism that is keyed to the specific user. For example, the locking mechanism may be keyed to a user's biometric signature (e.g., a fingerprint, palm print, retinal image, voice recognition, and the like). The personalized locking devices disclosed herein are easy to transport and easy to use. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may be configured to securely fasten a user's personal transportation device (e.g., motorcycles, mopeds, Segways, bicycles, scooters, skateboards) to an external structure (e.g., a bike rack, a fastening post, etc.) for the purpose of theft prevention.
