The invention relates to a shock-absorbing seat tube, including an outer tube and an inner tube sleeved within the outer tube. The inner tube is adapted for connection to a bicycle saddle from below through a joint. The seat tube is provided with a height adjustment device having a supporting end inserted into the inner tube, and a shock-absorbing device disposed in the inner tube at a position above the height adjustment device and includes a fixing part and a damper part. The fixing part passes at its top end through the inwardly protruded portion of the inner tube and is arranged in the barrel portion of the inner tube. The damper part is arranged between the inwardly protruded portion and the supporting end.

An apparatus adjusting saddle angle for bicycle includes an elastic member forward a central axis in a longitudinal direction of a seat post, a lower body coupled to the seat post and protruding forward to support the elastic member, and an upper body including a saddle coupling portion to the saddle, supporting upper end of the elastic member on upper portion, and hinge-coupled to the lower body to rotate in rotation axis such that the saddle angle is changed for the lower body fixed to the seat post by external force. The elastic member and the rotation axis are in front and rear of the centerline of the lower body, respectively. The saddle coupling portion is in front of the centerline of the lower body and rear of the elastic member, and above the rotation axis. Thus, saddle angle is easily adjusted to improve user's convenience and riding comfort.

A saddle riding vehicle includes an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft, a starter motor having a rotary shaft connected to the crankshaft, a main shaft connected to the crankshaft, a countershaft connected to the main shaft and configured to transmit power to a driving wheel, a battery configured to supply electric power to the starter motor, a rotation detector configured to detect a rotation state of the crankshaft, an acquisition part configured to acquire a rotational speed on the basis of the rotation state detected by the rotation detector, and a controller configured to stop the starter motor in a case the rotational speed is equal to or smaller than first threshold in a state in which the rotary shaft, the crankshaft, the main shaft and the countershaft are connected.

An adjustable seat assembly for a motorcycle has a seat pan and an adjustment mechanism. The seat pan includes a base portion and two pivoting portions that are pivotally connected to the base portion and are arranged laterally adjacent to one another on the base portion. The base portion has a fastening portion for fastening the seat assembly on the motorcycle. The adjustment mechanism is designed to pivot each of the two pivoting portions in relation to the base portion to adjust a lateral width of the seat assembly. A motorcycle with an adjustable seat assembly is also provided.
