An electric assist vehicle is described, which may have a cargo area, a drivetrain including an external crankset and an electric motor, and a speed control system. The speed control system automatically limits the maximum operating speed of the vehicle based, at least in part, on a load mass (e.g., a gross weight) of the vehicle and/or the cargo area of the vehicle. Limiting the speed includes, for example, reducing the power of the electric motor and/or increasing a braking force on the vehicle.

A luggage container for a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or a vehicle similar to a motorcycle is provided. The luggage container includes a first container part which defines a storage volume for stowing luggage and has a container opening for loading and unloading the storage volume. The luggage container also includes a second container part for optionally closing the luggage container. The first container part has a net assembly in an edge region of the container opening, having a retaining net for at least partially closing the container opening. The net assembly is configured to permit adjustment of the retaining net between at least two positions, in order to vary a portion of the container opening closed by the retaining net.

A luggage holder with an integrated pocket has an inner wall which delimits a luggage space. The pocket is detachably connected to the inner wall of the luggage holder by a connection arrangement. The connection arrangement has at least one connecting section that is designed to engage detachably with a corresponding recess that receives the respective connecting section.

A bicycle storage accessory mountable on a bicycle frame or seat post that includes a cylindrical container providing an enclosed interior space, a rear facing lid that incorporates an LED light, and a mounting bracket. Correspondingly mating attachment structures on the container and mounting bracket include a first portion having protrusions extending radially outward from an axis of rotation of the container, and a second portion having pockets extending radially outward from the axis of rotation. The container connects to the mounting bracket via axially bringing the two together, then rotating one or the other so that each radial protrusion is received into a respective pocket. A locking mechanism prevents undesired back rotation. The LED lid incorporates a two-stage magnetic locking system with haptic feedback and structures for attaching the LED lid to the mounting bracket. A wheel guard may be attached between the mounting bracket and container.

A bicycle battery pack that can be reduced in volume includes a housing configured to be located on a frame of a bicycle and battery cells accommodated in the housing. The battery cells include at least a first battery cell and a second battery cell. The housing includes a side wall extending in a longitudinal direction of the frame in a state located on the frame. An outer portion of the side wall includes at least one groove. The at least one groove is recessed toward a region between the first battery cell and the second battery cell.

A convertible backpack system and method for conversion between a backpack, to comfort pad, to poncho, to water collection device, to a blind, to a tent, to a hammock, to a seat, to a playpen or storage container, and to an office pack.

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 motorcycle case includes an inner case part which is fastenable to a motorcycle and an outer case part connected to the inner case part that is displaceable laterally relative to the inner case part. A driven gearwheel mechanism couples the inner case part and the outer case part where a width of the motorcycle case is adjustable by displacing the outer case part relative to the inner case part. The gearwheel mechanism includes at least a first gearwheel group and a second gearwheel group which each have a plurality of gears coupled to one another, rotating together and assigned to an axis of rotation, where respective teeth of adjacent gearwheel groups mesh. The first gearwheel group and the second gearwheel group each have at least one spur gear and at least one bevel gear and either the spur gears or the bevel gears of adjacent gearwheel groups mesh.
