Cycle display fixture with cycle retention assembly
A display fixture for holding one or more cycles includes a linear track, a stop, a wheel mount, and a coupling member. The linear track defines a channel along the linear track. The channel is open upwardly and extends from a first end to a second end of the linear track. The stop is secured to the first end of the linear track. The wheel mount is slidably received along the linear track. The wheel mount includes a cam member, slidably interacting with the linear track, and an extension member, extending as an upward bridge between opposing sides of the cam member to receive a wheel of one of the one or more cycles by extending over a portion of the wheel. The coupling member extends through the wheel mount and the linear track to selectively secure the wheel mount in of position along the linear track.
SECURING ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
In some embodiments, a docking station includes a scooter locking section that allows the electric scooter to be removed from the docking station when the electric scooter is in a non-rotated orientation and prevents the electric scooter to be removed from the docking station when the electric scooter is in a rotated orientation.
LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES FOR ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
Systems and methods for illuminating an electric scooter are described. The systems and methods generate randomized patterns of lights based on movement of the electric scooter, such as in response to vibrations or other forces applied to the electric scooter as it travels through an environment. For example, the systems and methods can receive movement data from one or more vibration sensors of the electric scooter, generate a continuous wave pattern based on the movement data, and cause lighting devices (e.g., addressable LEDs (light emitting diodes)) to emit light in response to the continuous wave pattern. The resulting light, in some cases, is an ever-changing pattern of light and intensity.
COLLECTING ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
Systems and methods for collecting electric scooters are described herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods facilitate a “snaking” configuration of attaching, coupling, or fixing multiple electric scooters to one another. The snaking configuration enables multiple electric scooters to be collected together and moved to various locations, such as locations where the electric scooters can be rented, serviced, and so on. Further, the systems and methods enable any electric scooter to act as a collecting scooter, and thus a scooter share service or other fleet of scooters can manage the collection and provisioning of scooters in a location without special vehicles or equipment, among other benefits.
VEHICLE DOCKING STATIONS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
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.
MOTORCYCLE LOCKING SYSTEM
A system for locking the wheel of a motorcycle and hence the motorcycle itself utilizes a locking housing with a back wall, dual sidewalls, and a bottom floor which partially circumscribe a slotted space for receiving the Wheel of a motorcycle. The bottom floor has lateral sections extending outside the sidewalls. A locking base is provided which has rail members extending along the side of the base, the rail members being configured to slidably receive the lateral sections of the bottom floor. Bolts secure the locking housing to the locking base when the system is assembled to receive the front wheel of a motorcycle. An elongated cycle lock is provided to extend through holes in the sidewalls and the motorcycle wheel positioned within the slotted space, to secure the wheel and thus the motorcycle within the locking housing.
Mobile Safety Device And Kickstand For Two-Wheelers
The invention relates to a two-wheeled bicycle stand having at least one foot (6) comprising at least one recess (9), said at least one recess forming at least one cavity upon contact between said foot (6) and a surface, characterized in that in at least one of said cavities a vacuum can be built up and released, and characterized in that the release of the vacuum and/or the build-up of the vacuum necessitates a verification. Such a bicycle stand can be fastened to a bicycle, resulting in improved stability and protection against theft.
Motorcycle lifting device and method
A foldable device for lifting a motorcycle that has fallen on its side has a bipod with two supports, a telescopic elongated main body, a handle, a ratchet strap coupled to a lever, a main strap having a closed loop in one end, and two secondary straps. The unfolded device is positioned firmly held to the floor besides the fallen motorcycle, centered between the gasoline tank and the seat, with the handle pointing up and the ratchet facing the motorcycle. The main strap passes below the motorcycle, so its closed loop end is wrapped to the motorcycle's foot peg and its open end is introduced into the ratchet. The lever is activated as many times as necessary until the wheels touch the floor, the secondary straps pass through the wheels attaching both ends to the bipod supports and the lever is activated again until the motorcycle is lifted.
Bicycle transport case
A bicycle transport case includes a container adapted to be opened and closed. The container includes a first outer side and a second outer side and has a chamber for receiving a bicycle frame defined by interior sides of the first and second outer sides. A retaining device configured to retain the bicycle frame at various angular orientations is pivotally and detachably connected to the container. The retaining device includes a main guide rail pivotally connected to the container about an axis and at least one retaining stand for retaining the bicycle frame movably mounted on the main guide rail and adapted to be locked in various positions on the main guide rail.
Vehicle docking stations systems and methods
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.
