Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.

Provided is a multi-functional turn signal lamp for a bicycle that can be used in a state of being fixed or being detachably attached to an end portion of a handle bar of the bicycle, can perform a turn indicator function, a front lighting function or a brake signaling function via LEDs mounted at the end portion of the handle bar and can enable a user to listen to music via a speaker using the power of a battery upon inserting a portable repository. Also, the present invention can enable a turn indicator lamp composed of an LED part (6) to be operated, or a brake lamp function to be performed by selectively pushing each key of a key part (4) and can enable a module (22) to be separated from a grip part (37), and the grip part (37) to be tightly fixed to the handle bar (50).

A communication system comprises a distance calculator configured to sense objects approaching from the rear and or sides of a moving body. Particularly, the communication system is able to indicate that an object may be too close and/or approaching the moving body at an unsafe speed and/or an unsafe closure rate. In response the communication system is able to generate a response. For example, in some embodiments, the response is an external indicator that the object is too close and/or approaching the moving body. Alternatively, or in conjunction, the communication system is able to generate a warning to the moving body that an object is approaching. The warning is able to alert the moving body that the object is in the area and/or may be approaching the moving body.

A safety system for bicycles includes a radar, a controller, and a warning apparatus, which includes a tube, a vibrating motor, and an impact sounder. The vibrating motor includes a rotary shaft and an eccentric block. The impact sounder includes an elastic member and an impact block. The elastic member includes a first end fixed to the inner wall of the tube and a second end connected to the impact block. When the controller decides to issue a warning based on a radar signal, it outputs a control signal to drive the rotary shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotary shaft drives the eccentric block to rotate and vibrate, and the eccentric block strikes the impact sounder to make the impact block hit the inner wall and thus generate an impact force and emit a sound. The warning apparatus simultaneously provides the bicycle rider with vibrating, impacting, and audible warning.

This invention concerns a sound and performance emulator (1) for an electric propulsion vehicle (100) with a first sensor (2) to emit a clutch signal (2a) relative to the position of a clutch (101) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a second sensor (3) to emit a gear signal (3a) relative to the position of a gear-switch (102) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a control unit (4) which receives an acceleration signal (5) relating to an accelerator position (103) of the electric propulsion vehicle (100); a vehicle speed signal (6) and/or an engine revolutions signal (7) relating to the engine revolutions (RpmExt) of the electric motor (104); the clutch signal (2a); and the gear signal (3a). The control unit (4) calculates a simulated engine revolutions value (RpmFinal) and a simulated gear inserted value (GearInserted) of a simulated endothermic combustion vehicle. The control unit (4) provides a requested simulated torque value and/or an output throttle signal (OutputThrottle) to be sent to the electric propulsion vehicle (100) to control it.

Programmable devices and associated methods for alerting pedestrians and vehicle operators are provided. In accordance with various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, programmable devices for alerting pedestrians and vehicle operators are provided, the programmable device for alerting pedestrians and vehicle operators comprising: a housing having an attachment mechanism and an actuator disposed thereon, the attachment configured for engagement with a portion of a bicycle on a location proximate to at least one hand of a user while the user is in a riding position on the bicycle; a data input component disposed along the housing and configured to receive at least one audio file; a speaker in electrical communication with the data input and operably coupled with the actuator, the speaker configured to produce sound corresponding to the at least one audio file upon engagement of the actuator by the user; and at least one light source operably coupled with the actuator, the at least one light source configured to produce at least one lighting projection configuration upon engagement of the actuator by the user.

Described herein are systems and methods for motorbike collision avoidance. One or more sensors or devices can be used to monitor the operating conditions of a motorbike and, upon a determination that a collision or drop has occurred, or is likely to occur, an alert system can be activated. The alert system can comprise one or more auxiliary illumination devices and/or acoustic devices configured to draw the attention of other motorists. The alert system may aid the other motorists in noticing the motorbike and approximating the motorbike's position, size, distance, or speed. The alert system can also be activated by the motorbike rider to communicate to other motorists that the rider believes a collision is possible or that a situation requires caution.

A safety device storage kit for a personal mobility apparatus can safely store a user-wearable airbag module of a personal mobility apparatus from the risk of theft and loss, and can improve the safety by indicating the fact that the personal mobility apparatus is running in the form of a light beam and/or sound from a speaker.
