An enclosed electric tricycle is disclosed for use in an urban commuting environment. Aspects of the enclosed electric tricycle keep it balanced, protect the rider from the environment, and allow the rider higher visibility to see and be seen by adjacent car drivers. An electric assist feature provides the rider supplemental power during a commute, which may be especially helpful in hilly areas or longer distance commutes.

A storage container assembly for connecting to a frame of a vehicle has a mounting bracket defining at least one aperture adapted to receive at least one first anchor of the vehicle therein, a storage container mounted to the mounting bracket and having a cover, the cover having an open position providing access to an interior of the storage container and a closed position preventing access to the interior of the storage container, a sliding member translatable between a retracted position and an extended position, the sliding member being adapted to engage a second anchor of the vehicle, and an actuator for translating the sliding member from the retracted position to the extended position. The actuator is disposed at least in part in the interior of the storage container and is accessible when the cover is in the open position. A vehicle having the assembly is also disclosed.

A motorcycle is disclosed, which includes which includes a first and second saddlebag, a monitoring unit configured to monitor a tilt of the motorcycle, and a bag adjustment unit configured to lift the saddlebags when the tilt of the motorcycle exceeds a tilt threshold. A method and computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed, which facilitate various acts. These acts include facilitating a communication between a remote unit and the motorcycle, and controlling an aspect of at least one of the monitoring unit or the bag adjustment unit via the communication.

A saddlebag support apparatus includes at least two arms and a support frame with a geometric shape. The arms are removably connected, for example, to a rear section of a vehicle, for example, a motorcycle. The support frame extends from lower ends of the arms. The support frame defines a receptacle for receiving one or more attachment elements of a saddlebag to secure the saddlebag to the support frame. The saddlebag support apparatus includes an interconnecting member positioned and connected between the two arms for precluding deflection of the support frame when the saddlebag is mounted onto the support frame, thereby providing rigidity to the support frame. The saddlebag support apparatus includes one or more connector elements positioned at predetermined locations on an inner plane of the support frame for receiving and accommodating one or more attachment elements of the saddlebag to secure the saddlebag to the support frame.

A scooter is provided. The scooter comprises a frame assembly including a main frame for a user, an extendable frame movably connected to the main frame and configured to be extendable away from the main frame at an interface at which the main frame and the extendable frame meet, and a wheel assembly connected to the frame assembly. The extendable frame forms a cargo space at an extended position.

A gas can is configured to be secured to a rack of a motorcycle. The gas can have a generally flat profile so that the rack may still be used to transport luggage or other items even when the gas can is secured to it. The gas can may include a pair of opposing brackets that each have a J hook that can be secured underneath a bar of the rack. At least one of the brackets can include a sliding portion that can be slid to move the corresponding J hook thereby unlatching the J hook from the bar.

The present invention provides means of connecting a single or multiple bicycle panniers to a supporting surface. By providing a means of connecting to a support surface such as wall or office cubicle, embodiments of this invention increase accessibility to an otherwise stored pannier. Use of embodiments of this invention have the new and unexpected result of reducing damage to panniers caused by routine contact with surfaces such as the ground or floor. This reduction of damage results in longer weatherproof and high visibility characteristics of panniers. Some embodiments of this invention contain partial replications of a standard bicycle rack, thus providing a connection method equal in connection/disconnection ease as between the pannier and said bicycle rack. Some embodiments of this invention provide a barrier between the pannier and the supporting surface, preventing wear to the supporting surface from repeated connection and removal of the panniers.

A micromobility vehicle for use in a vehicle share system includes a frame, a footboard fixed to the frame, a seat fixed to the frame, handlebars, and a computing device. The frame includes a horizontal portion and an angled portion. The seat is separated from the footboard in a vertical direction by a fixed distance. The handlebars are separated from the footboard in the vertical direction by a fixed distance. A cargo storage location is at least partially disposed between the seat and the footboard. The computing device is fixed to the frame and capable of executing a transportation matching system application.
