A spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle comprises a motor, pedals and a wheel. The motor comprises a motor shell and a spindle having two ends fixedly connected to the pedals respectively. The wheel is spherical or elliptical and is of a hollow structure having two ends formed with openings, and the wheel is arranged on the motor housing in a sleeving manner, is fixedly connected to the motor housing, and comprises a sleeve made from an elastic material. The wheel has a large contact area with the ground at any angles, thus the controllability of the single-wheeled vehicle is greatly improved; in addition, users can get on the vehicle easily, and the operation difficulty of the single-wheeled vehicle is lowered, and user experience is improved; and the reinforcing shells are used to support the two ends of the spherical/elliptical wheel, so that the structural stability of the spherical/elliptical single-wheeled vehicle is improved.

A foldable bicycle (100) having a riding configuration and a folded configuration includes a first wheel (102) and a second wheel (104) interconnected by a frame (106). At least the first wheel (102) has an open centre (108) and includes an annular rotor (110) engageable with the ground in the riding configuration of the bicycle (100) and an annular stator (114) carrying the annular rotor (110), and the frame (106) has a pivotal connection with the stator (114) of the first wheel (102) whereby the frame (106) is pivotable relative to the first wheel (102) for folding the bicycle (100). The frame (106) and the second wheel (104) connected thereto are together so dimensioned and arranged to fit within the open centre (108) of the first wheel (102) in the folded configuration of the bicycle (100).

A seat for a bicycle comprising: a seating surface having a longitudinal length, a longitudinally forward portion, a longitudinally rearward portion, and a lateral width between a first lateral end and a second lateral end laterally opposed to the first lateral end; an underside surface below the seating surface; an opening extending through the seating surface and the underside surface; where the opening has an opening length between a longitudinally forward periphery and a longitudinally rearward periphery and an opening width between a first lateral periphery and a second lateral periphery laterally opposed to the first lateral periphery; where the seating surface includes a bridge portion longitudinally located between the opening and the rearward portion of the seating surface; and where the opening has a lateral width greater than its longitudinal length.

A lift apparatus for a snowmobile and a kit for constructing same. The lift apparatus includes a rear bumper and first and second slides attachable to a tunnel of the snowmobile. The rear bumper includes a transverse bumper portion connected to first and second slide members. The first and second slide members are slidable along the first and second slides, respectively, to position the transverse bumper portion in a riding position or a deployed position. The transverse bumper portion is positioned farther from the snowmobile when the transverse bumper portion is in the deployed position than when it is in the riding position. The transverse bumper portion is configured to be gripped and lifted by a user when the transverse bumper portion is in the deployed position. The rear bumper is configured to lift a rear portion of the snowmobile when the transverse bumper portion is lifted.

A gripping device for a tubular member, such as a bicycle seat tube, is provided. The gripping device comprises an elongated tubular body having an outer layer, inner layer and opposite open ends. The inner wall is capable of adhering to the body of the tubular member, such as the seat tube. When the gripping device is applied to a bicycle, for example, the gripping device disclosed herein allows for an improved grip of the bicycle and correspondingly a reduced strain on a user who wants to transport the bicycle.

A folding personal mobility vehicle includes a foothold part provided with a wheel, a handle part provided with a handle, and a hinge structure between the foothold part and the handle part. The foothold part and the handle part are each configured to be folded using the hinge structure and the foothold part and the handle part are configured so that the foothold part is positioned between the handle parts in a folded state.

A vehicle including a first frame extending in a front-rear direction from a front wheel to a rear wheel, a second frame, a steering part supported by the second frame, a support portion movably supporting the steering part about a pivot axis so that the steering part is positioned above the front wheel when the vehicle is in a traveling posture and is positioned above the rear wheel when the vehicle is in a folded posture, and a movement restriction portion provided near the rear wheel so as to restrict a movement of the steering part toward the rear wheel when the posture of the vehicle changes from the traveling posture to the folded posture.

The present invention provides a handlebar locking device which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar locking device (20) includes (i) a lock unit (30) which is fixed in a steering column (11) that rotates along with a handlebar (5) and (ii) a fixed bracket (70) which is fixed in a head tube (12). The lock unit (30) includes (i) a lock pin (31) having a tip part (31a) that protrudes from a guiding long hole (11a) of the steering column (11) and (ii) a lock pin drive mechanism which controls the lock pin (31) to axially move back and forth. The fixed bracket (70) has an engagement groove (71) with which the lock pin (31) is to be engaged.
