The present disclosure provides an apparatus configured to couple to a bicycle and act as a handlebar grip. The apparatus is equipped with a GPS unit, a controller, and a wireless communications module for communicating with a user device such as a smartphone. The positioning data of the apparatus, and thus of a bicycle to which it is affixed, is tracked and recorded, and can be used to calculate various useful metrics. The GPS functionality also allows for increased security and theft prevention features.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional lighting apparatus for a bicycle, which includes: a lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit detachably mounted on a steering unit of a bicycle; an ascending/descending movement body part vertically movably located in the lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit; and a main lighting lamp unit located in the ascending/descending movement body part and irradiating light, and as a result, a lighting lamp unit can be located at a position desired by a driver by adjusting a height of the lighting lamp unit, thereby enhancing both satisfaction and safety in use.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus employing techniques of computer vision and deep neural networks to provide audible and visual warning indications to vehicle drivers and bicycle riders to reduce the probability of a collision between the vehicle and the bicycle to which it is mounted, particularly in the case of distracted driving. The present invention amounts to an additional set of eyes that is ever-alert and dedicated to watching for impending collisions from behind or from directions not in the operator's primary field of view. When such a potential collision is detected, the present invention provides audible and visual alerts to gain the attention of drivers and riders to reduce the possibility of collision.

A bicycle controller and a bicycle control system are provided that effectively supply power from one battery to a plurality of bicycle components. The bicycle controller includes an electronic control unit that controls power consumed by a plurality of bicycle components. The power is supplied from a common battery. The bicycle components include at least a first component and a second component. In a case where a charge amount of the battery is a first level, the electronic control unit reduces the power of the battery consumed by the first component. In a case where the charge amount of the battery is a second level that is lower than the first level, the electronic control unit reduces the power of the battery consumed by the second component.

A straddle type vehicle comprises: a detection unit configured to detect a situation of a detection area on one of a rear side and a lateral side of a self-vehicle; a distance determination unit configured to determine a change in a relative distance between the self-vehicle and another vehicle detected in the detection area and a notification control unit configured to make a notification to a driver based on one of a detection result of the detection unit and a determination result of the distance determination unit. The notification control unit makes the notification by first notification output if the other vehicle is detected in the detection area by the detection unit, and makes the notification by second notification output if it is determined by the distance determination unit that the relative distance to the other vehicle has become short.

A motorcycle driving assistance device includes: a curve traveling determination unit for determining whether or not an own vehicle is traveling on a curve; a radius-of-curvature calculation unit for, when it is determined that the own vehicle is traveling on a curve, calculating a radius of curvature of the curve; an other-vehicle lane estimation unit for comparing the radius of curvature and a distance between another vehicle and a center of curvature of the curve, and estimating a traveling lane of the other vehicle; and an alarm determination unit for determining whether or not output of an approach alarm is needed, on the basis of a distance between the own vehicle and the other vehicle, a relative velocity of the other vehicle, and a relationship between a traveling lane of the own vehicle and the traveling lane of the other vehicle.

A finding system for locating a bicycle, e-bike, scooter or other personal transportation vehicle within localized area. The system comprises a handheld radio transmitter which, when actuated by a user, sends a signal to a receiver unit affixed to the vehicle. Upon receiving the signal, an alert output device coupled to the receiver unit will emit a beacon signal permitting the user to find the vehicle. The beacon signal may be an audible signal (a bell, beep, chirp, buzz, tone, whistle, horn or siren) and/or a visual signal (such as flashing LED lights or a flashing taillight or headlight).

A toy exhaust device (10) for attachment to a rear stay (11) of the frame of a bicycle, the device (10) comprises an elongate body unit (13) having formations (14, 15) thereon shaped so that the body unit (13) is locatable against the surface (16) of the rear stay 11, which surface (16) faces out from the frame, an exhaust pipe (17) extending from the body unit (13) to the rear of the frame and away therefrom, when the body unit (13) is attached thereto. The device (10) is symmetrically disposed about a plane of division (18) of the device (10), in which plane of division the longitudinal axis of the body unit (13) lies, and such that, in use, when an exhaust device (10) is attached to each side of the frame one device (10) will be a mirror image of the other device (10).

A running bike that can be operated selectively with and without power. The running bike includes a front fork rotatably engaged with a front wheel, a rear fork rotatably engaged with a rear wheel, the rear fork having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a handlebar rotatably engaged with the front fork for steering the running bike. A frame extends between and connects the front fork and the rear fork. The frame includes a down tube having a first end connected to the front fork and a second end opposite the first end and positioned adjacent the rear fork, a top tube connected to and extending between the down tube and the upper portion of the rear fork, and a drivetrain receiving region defined as an area rearward of the down tube, forward of the rear wheel, and below the top tube.
