A luggage scooter has a middle frame, a front wheel section, a seat section, and a rear wheel section. The front wheel section has a front wheel frame pivotally connected to the middle frame at a front wheel frame joint. The front wheel frame is mounted to a steering joint. The steering joint is mounted on the middle frame. The steering joint provides steering in both a left and right direction. The front wheel frame joint provides the front wheel frame with configurable position between a stowed position and a deployed position. A front wheel is mounted to the front wheel frame at a front wheel support. A rear wheel section has a rear wheel frame pivotally connected to the middle frame at a rear wheel frame joint.

A straddled vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a bracket, and a footrest. The bracket is attached to the vehicle body frame. The footrest is movably supported by the bracket to be in one of an expanded position and a folded position. In the expanded position, the footrest extends outward from the vehicle body frame in the left-right direction. In the folded position, the footrest is rotated upward from the expanded position. The bracket includes a base portion and an extending portion. The base portion is disposed along the vehicle body frame. The extending portion extends outward from the base portion in the left-right direction. The footrest includes a contact portion that contacts the bracket at the folded position. The extending portion includes a receiving surface that contacts the contact portion, and that is located at an outer edge in the left-right direction of the extending portion.

A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.

A drive assistance device (24) for a saddle type vehicle (1) includes a ride sensor (37) configured to detect a ride attitude of a rider (J), a vehicle body behavior generating part (25) configured to generate a behavior on a vehicle body by a prescribed output, and a controller (27) configured to control driving of the vehicle body behavior generating part (25), the vehicle body behavior generating part (25) includes a brake device (BR) configured to brake a host vehicle, and wherein, when the brake device (BR) is actuated regardless of an operation of the rider (J), the controller (27) actuates the brake device (BR) according to the ride attitude of the rider (J) detected by the ride sensor (37).

The main step structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a fixing member, a step pin, a main step, and a biasing member that biases the main step in a developing direction. The main step structure includes an operating member supported to be rotatable relative to the main step. The operating member is provided with a contact section that makes contact with the fixing member. An engaging mechanism that can switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state of the main step and the operating member is provided. In the case where the main step is moved to an accommodated position and the operating member is made to make contact with the fixing member, the engaging mechanism puts the main step and the operating member into an engaged state.

A straddled vehicle includes a footrest including a center step and a rear step. When a perpendicular bisector of a first line segment connecting a front end and a rear end of the rear step is defined as an imaginary first reference line, a center of gravity of the straddled vehicle is ahead of the first reference line and the grounding point of the rear wheel is behind the first reference line when the first line segment is horizontal. When a second line segment connects a front end and a rear end of the center step, and a straight line perpendicular to the second line segment and extending through the rear end of the first step is defined as an imaginary second reference line, the center of gravity of the straddled vehicle is behind the second reference line within a range of about 100 mm or is ahead of the second reference line.

A foot rest assembly for a motorcycle, where the foot rest assembly has a main body extending along a main body axis from a first end to a second end, a mounting bracket attached to the first end of the main body, and a rotatable body rotatably supported on the foot rest assembly. The main body is configured to support a foot of a user when the foot rest assembly is mounted to a motorcycle. The rotatable body, which may be one or more wheels and/or rollers, is configured to rotate along the ground when the rotatable body contacts the ground as a result of motorcycle operation. The rotatable body is configured to rotate around a rotary axis, which may be obliquely angled relative to the main body axis.
