A control device of a bicycle includes an actuator and a first controller. The first controller is configured to generate and transmit, from the first controller to a second controller of the bicycle, messages for a predetermined time period at a first transmission rate in response to activation of the actuator. The first controller is further configured to, after the predetermined period of time, generate and transmit, from the first controller to the second controller, one or more messages at a second transmission rate until the actuator is deactivated. The first transmission rate is greater than the second transmission rate, and each of the messages includes data identifying the activation of the actuator.

A straddled vehicle, including a cross member connecting right and left seat frames, a seat above the cross member and right and left seat frames, left and right side covers, a rear fender, an intake passage formed below the seat, between the left and right side covers and above the rear fender, an air cleaner located in a front part of the intake passage, left and right inlet ports located in a rear part of the intake passage, first and second fastening portions respectively fastening the right and left side cover to the right and left seat frames or to the rear fender. In a rear view of the vehicle, the cross member is convex upward and does not overlap the right or left inlet port, and the first and second fastening portions are located outside the intake passage, or are located inside the intake passage but does not overlap the right or left inlet port.

An auxiliary fixing device for a bicycle includes a body and a supporting rod unit. The supporting rod unit includes first and second supporting rods coupled to the body. Each of the first and second supporting rods includes a connecting portion, a supporting portion, and an extension portion between the connecting portion and the supporting portion. The extension portion of the first supporting rod has an end adjacent to the connecting portion of the first supporting rod and another end extending away from the second supporting rod. The extension portion of the second supporting rod has an end adjacent to the connecting portion of the second supporting rod and another end extending away from the first supporting rod.

The present invention allows a user to ride a bicycle while lying with his/her face down, thereby lowering the center of weight and improving the driving stability, increasing the velocity by reducing the air resistance during driving, and increasing the generation of thrust by easily transferring the force of the user to pedals, and comprises: a frame provided with a front wheel and a rear wheel such that the user can ride while lying with his/her face down; and an acceleration means installed on the rear wheel and generating power and acceleration according to pedaling.

The disclosure provides an adjustable child's seating system for attaching to the frame of a bicycle. The seating system comprises a crossbar on which a connection hub is mounted. The connection hub attaches both a saddle and leg assembly to the crossbar. The connection hub is adjustable to adjust the angle of tilt of the saddle and/or the angle of the leg assembly relative to the saddle.

In the saddle-ride vehicle, a front fork includes a fender support portion, the fender support portion is located on an inner side of a vehicle body relative to an inner surface of the front fender, and a fork guard is disposed on a rear side of the fender support portion, and the fork guard extends to an inner side of the vehicle body relative to the fender support portion. In the saddle-ride vehicle, the front fender includes an extending portion extending from the inner surface of the front fender to an inner side of the vehicle body, and the extending portion is disposed in front of a space formed between the fender support portion and the inner surface of the front fender.

The invention includes apparatus and methods of use for an adjustable disarticulated seat, which in a preferred embodiment may include one, or a plurality of independently or synchronously adjustable disarticulated inserts positioned within insert interface apertures on the distal extended portion of a saddle. An actuator element may be responsive to the one or more disarticulated inserts through one or more cords configured to be retracted or release in response to the action of the actuator causing the extension upward or release downward movement of the one or more inserts within the insert interface aperture.

A seat that includes an upper surface, a lower surface, one or more pressure sensors communicatively coupled to a controller, and a plurality of artificial muscles disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface. Each of the plurality of artificial muscles is communicatively coupled to the controller. Each of the plurality of artificial muscles includes a housing having an electrode region and an expandable fluid region, a dielectric fluid housed within the housing, and an electrode pair positioned in the electrode region of the housing. The electrode pair is actuatable between a non-actuated state and an actuated state such that actuation from the non-actuated state to the actuated state directs the dielectric fluid into the expandable fluid region, expanding the expandable fluid region.
