WALKING VEHICLE THAT IS EASY TO SWING AND STEER
A walking vehicle the vehicle frame comprises a vertical tube adjacent to the two front wheels, and a lateral tube at the top end of the vertical tube. The rear wheel is connected to a left pedal and a right pedal. The central rod passes through the lateral tube. The left handlebar sheathes and the right handlebar sheathes each one end of the central rod. The left handlebar are connected to the left pedal. The right handlebar are connected to the right pedal. The gear set comprises a first bevel gear mounted at the right handlebar, a second bevel gear mounted at the right connecting rod, and a connecting gear with a mounting rod passing through the central rod thereof and engaging the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear. This has the effect of facilitating the operation of the walking vehicle for improved handling maneuverability and stability.
CONTROL SWITCH MOUNT STRUCTURE OF STRADDLING FASHION VEHICLE
A control switch mount structure of a straddling fashion vehicle is provided. A front end of a vehicle frame unit of a vehicle is provided with a support member. The support member is provided with a steering handlebar. Two sides of the steering handlebar are each provided with a primary switch mount. An outer periphery of the vehicle frame unit is provided with and covered by a vehicle-body cover unit. The vehicle-body cover unit at least includes a knee-shielding hood. The knee-shielding hood of the support member that is arranged toward a vehicle body rear side is provided with a secondary switch mount. The secondary switch mount includes multiple switch control buttons and multiple trigger switches that are triggerable by the switch control buttons. As such, a control item for a change of a non-vehicle-operating state of the vehicle is controlled to thereby enhance operation performance of the vehicle.
Pivot joint and vehicles that employ a pivot joint
In an aspect, a pivot joint for a collapsing foot-deck-based vehicle is described, comprising a foot deck, at least two wheels coupled to the foot deck, and a handlebar assembly coupled to the foot deck via a locking pivot joint, also referred to as a locking swivel joint, the handlebar assembly comprising at least one handle, the locking pivot joint having a pivot axis that is generally unparallel with a horizontal plane defined by the lowermost surfaces of the at least two wheels, the handlebar assembly being selectively pivotable via the locking pivot joint between a riding configuration in which the handle is generally distal from the foot deck and a collapsed configuration in which the handle is generally proximal to the foot deck.

THREE-WHEELED VEHICLE
A three-wheeled vehicle is disclosed having a vehicle frame supported by front ground engaging members and a single rear ground engaging member. The vehicle includes an engine positioned forward of an operator area and a swing arm coupled to the single rear ground engagement member. The operator area of the vehicle may include seating for a driver and a passenger.

Front two-wheel leaning vehicle
A front two-wheel leaning vehicle, including a handle, a steering shaft, a linkage mechanism and a load transfer mechanism. The load transfer mechanism includes a left-foot-placing part and a right-foot-placing part located between the left front wheel and the rear wheel, for left and right feet of the driver to be respectively placed thereon. The load transfer mechanism transfers a load to the left and right portions of the linkage mechanism through the left-foot-placing part and the right-foot-placing part, or through the right-foot-placing part and the left-foot-placing part, respectively. The steering shaft includes a handle adjusting mechanism configured to adjust, with respect to the left-foot-placing part and the right-foot-placing part, at least one of a handle height, which is a distance from a midpoint between the left and right front wheels to the grip, or an offset amount of the handle with respect to a rotation axis of the steering shaft.

VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a control switch that is configured to generate an operation signal, and a controller that is electrically connected to the control switch to receive the operation signal therefrom, and that is configured to, in response to receipt of the operation signal, transmit a control signal to a tilting mechanism for making the tilting mechanism operate in one of a locked state and an unlocked state. After the vehicle is powered on, the controller is further configured to, when the controller has continuously received the operation signal for a predetermined reception time, determine that the control switch is abnormal, stop transmitting the control signal and control a warning unit to output a warning signal.
Rotation locking device, suspension assembly, and vehicle
A rotation locking device includes a locking module and at least one engaging member. The at least one engaging member is rotatably coupled to the locking module. The locking module is configured to engaging and disengage the at least one engaging member, thereby refraining the at least one engaging member from rotating relative to the locking module.
