COWLING STRUCTURE
A cowling structure for a straddle-type vehicle. The cowling structure includes a cowling covering a lamp unit. A front surface of the cowling has an opening through which a lens surface of the lamp unit is exposed to a front side. A lower surface of the cowling has an opening area through which a lower surface of the lamp unit is exposed to a lower side.
Scooter-type vehicle
A scooter-type vehicle including a front vehicle cover covering a head pipe, a rear vehicle cover extending backwards from a foot rest and covering a space below a saddle, and a headlight unit disposed in front of the front vehicle cover. The headlight unit includes a reflector headlight, including a light source disposed at one side further right or left than the head pipe and a first reflector, and a projector headlight, including another light source disposed at the other side further right or left than the head pipe, a second reflector, and a lens disposed in front of the second light source in a convex shape toward the front. In a side view, a portion of the projector headlight overlaps with the reflector headlight. In a top view, a rear end of the reflector headlight is located further forward than a rear end of the projector headlight.
Smart lighting system and method
A smart lighting system for a vehicle is described. The smart lighting system includes at least one signal generator, and a lighting stem assembly. The lighting stem assembly further includes a signal receiver; a light control PCB module, and at least one light source. The at least one light source may be a rotatable lighting source, and the left indicator light and the right indictor light. Upon receiving signal by the signal receiver from a signal generator, the light control PCB module controls the operation of the rotatable lighting source, and the left indicator light and the right indictor light. The signal generator may generate the signal based on detection of gesture by a motion sensor mounted on a helmet of a rider.
HEAT DISSIPATION DEVICE
A vehicle head light capable of correcting projection angle automatically includes a head light body having a light head retaining seat and a reflective cup locked; a passive gear cover and a front end thereof being formed with a passive gear; a bearing fixing seat; a bearing being fixed in the bearing fixing seat; the passive gear cover being arranged within the bearing, a motor locked in the bearing fixing seat; a horizontal sensor and a controller serving to control rotation angle of the motor; and a driving gear combined to an output spindle of the motor. The horizontal sensor automatically detects rotation angle of the head light or the inclination of the body of the motorcycle and detection data is transferred out to cause the motor and the driving gear are driven to drive the head light body to correct the light projection angle or swing angle.
Rechargeable bicycle light system
A bicycle tail light or front light has a mounting base to connect to the bicycle, and an LED light unit for insertion into and removal from the base. The light unit includes a printed circuit board with LED driver and a rechargeable battery, all of which are encapsulated by a direct overmolding that forms a casing for the unit. For charging the light unit is pulled out from the base and plugged into a USB port. A tongue with USB blade at the back of the light unit functions to secure the light unit to the mounting base, and the attachment of the units switches power to the light unit. A motion detector on the PCB shuts off the LED if no motion is detected for several minutes, thus eliminating need for any exterior switch.
Bicycle with Integral Electrical Generator
A bicycle includes a frame formed of various interconnected tubes with a front wheel and a rear wheel mounted thereon. The frame includes a headlight module and taillight module that are each powered by an internal rechargeable battery. A pair of pedals at the lower end of the frame operate an internal generator to automatically recharge the battery whenever the rider is pedaling.

Straddle-type vehicle
A straddle-type vehicle comprises a vehicle body frame; a heavy weight vehicle member mounted on a vehicle body; a support member fastened to the vehicle body frame to support the heavy weight vehicle member; and a vehicle body behavior sensor which detects a behavior of the vehicle body, and the vehicle body behavior sensor is mounted on the support member.
Headlight for a Single-Track Motor Vehicle, and Single-Track Motor Vehicle with Headlight
A headlight for a single-track motor vehicle has a support part, a light module which is connected to the support part, a first bearing device, a second bearing device, and a coupling device. The light module is mounted by the first bearing device in a rotatable manner about a first main axis relative to the support part and by the second bearing device in a rotatable manner about a second main axis perpendicular to the first main axis. The coupling device couples the light module to the support part such that the light module is rotated about the second main axis during a rotation about the first main axis.
Removable Battery Powered Motorcycle Headlight And Lighting Kit With Same
A motorcycle lighting system including a headlamp adapted to be easily mounted upon, and easily removed from, a motorcycle without a headlamp, such as a motocross motorcycle. The headlamp is battery powered and may have removable batteries to allow for substitution during or between rides. The headlamp is mounted with resilient material to enhance vibration resistance. A lighting kit may include handlebar mounted pointable lights also coupled to the headlamp battery.
