Regenerative braking energy dissipater and system and method of using same
A regenerative braking energy dissipater system which is adapted to dissipate energy from a regenerative brake in the case when the battery cannot accept further energy. The system may switch the energy flow from the battery to a dissipater when the battery has reached a high level of charge. The dissipater may include load resistors. The system may be designed such that the airflow around the dissipater flows over and under the dissipating plate.
SADDLE RIDING VEHICLE
A saddle riding vehicle includes: a motor which is a driving power source; a battery which powers the motor; a duct which supplies incoming wind to the battery; and a rear fender which is disposed above a rear wheel and houses the battery. The rear fender includes, behind the battery, a discharge hole which discharges the incoming wind supplied by the duct.

Rear wheel braking device for motorcycle
To provide a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle that can reduce an unsprung mass and the number of pieces of components on the rear wheel side of a shaft drive type motorcycle. In a rear wheel braking device for a motorcycle transmitting a drive force of a power unit of a motorcycle to a rear wheel through a drive shaft that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, the drive shaft includes a propeller shaft that is connected to a rear end of an output shaft through a universal joint, the output shaft protruding to the vehicle body rear side from a case member of the power unit. A brake disk is attached to the output shaft, the brake disk being braked by a rear wheel brake caliper. The rear wheel brake caliper is fixed to a bracket that is arranged in the case member, and is disposed on the vehicle body upper side of the brake disk.
COOLING OF HEAT-GENERATING COMPONENTS IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES
An electric Vehicle (EV) includes a frame extending rearwards from the front portion of the EV towards a rear portion of the EV. A floorboard structure is disposed below the frame and is supported by the frame. A battery is disposed in a cavity defined between the floorboard structure and the frame. A first heat-generating component is disposed in the rear portion of the EV. The EV includes a duct extending from the front portion to the first heat-generating component to conduct air from the front portion to the first heat-generating component. A second heat-generating component is disposed in the cavity. The duct includes: an inlet facing the front portion to receive air from the front portion; a first outlet facing the first heat-generating component to supply air to the first heat-generating component; and a second outlet facing the second heat-generating component to supply air to the second heat-generating component.

Electric bike having improved effect of heat dissipation
An electric bike having an improved effect of heat dissipation has a body, a driving device, and a battery. The body has a frame, a rear wheel, and a front wheel, wherein the rear wheel and the front wheel are mounted to the frame. The driving device is mounted to the body and has a motor and a shell. The motor is connected with the frame and has a front end near the front wheel and a rear end near the rear wheel. The shell covers the motor and has multiple inlets and multiple outlets disposed therethrough. The multiple inlets are located near the front end of the motor. The multiple outlets are located near the rear end of the motor. The battery is electrically connected to the motor. The front wheel, the battery, the motor, and the rear wheel are serially aligned.
STRADDLE-TYPE VEHICLE
A straddle-type vehicle includes a fuel pipe provided on a rear side of an engine, a generator provided on the rear side of the engine and adjacent to the fuel pipe, an outside air introduction duct configured to guide air outside the straddle-type vehicle to the rear side of the engine, and a partition wall provided between the fuel pipe and the generator. The partition wall partitions a region on the rear side of the engine into a generator arrangement region where the generator is provided and a fuel pipe arrangement region where the fuel pipe is provided. The outside air introduction duct includes a first outlet configured to allow the air to flow out to the generator arrangement region.
