A stem cap audio system enables detachable attachment of a speaker assembly to the stem cap of a bicycle. A speaker base is configured to detachably couple to the stem cap. The speaker is coupled to the base and may be configured for easy one-hand operation, wherein functions of the speaker are initiated by simply pushing down on the speaker housing. The speaker housing is configured to actuate or depress down into the speaker base and a speaker control interface is actuated by contact with a portion of the base. An elastomeric interface is configured between the speaker and base to rebound the speaker after actuation to change a function of the speaker operation. This easy one hand operation can be operated while riding and with a gloved hand.

A personal mobility device includes a helmet, for example, when renting the personal mobility device, and can improve user safety based on an output of a sensor provided in the helmet. The personal mobility device further includes: a transceiver; a helmet storage device in which the helmet provided with at least one sensor is stored; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to be wirelessly connected to the helmet when receiving a signal indicating separation between the helmet storage device and the helmet from the helmet storage device, and to control the transceiver to transmit a signal requesting the activation of the at least one sensor to the helmet.

A method for operating a motorcycle. In the method, an environment of the motorcycle is acquired and free spaces in the environment that are usable by the motorcycle are detected, and a change in the free spaces and a trajectory of the motorcycle are predicted and evaluated for conflicts, and in a conflict case, a conflict-free alternative trajectory is ascertained for the motorcycle and communicated to a rider of the motorcycle.
