Multi-modal monocoque assembly for motorcycles
A fastening system for attaching a component to the monocoque of a motorcycle. The fastening system promotes a plurality of riding configurations for the motorcycle. The fastening system includes an assembly of a track and a movable foot piece. The movable foot piece slides along and is locked in the track to secure the component to the track according to a desired riding configuration of the motorcycle. When the component is the headstock, the fastening system allows for a change in the rake angle.

FOOT PLATE FOR SELF-BALANCING SCOOTER, AND SELF-BALANCING SCOOTER
Disclosed are a foot plate for a self-balancing scooter, and a self-balancing scooter. The foot plate (1) for a self-balancing scooter comprises a main body (10) and touch control portions (11). A front side and a rear side of a lower surface of the main body are both connected to the touch control portions, which protrude downwards and are used to trigger a sensor on a self-balancing scooter. The touch control portions at the front side and the rear side of the lower surface of the foot plate for a self-balancing scooter are capable of directly triggering corresponding sensors. The foot plate is applicable to twisting scooters having a left scooter portion and a right scooter portion which are capable of twisting relatively. No additional components are required, and users just need to install the foot plate on a self-balancing scooter. The foot plate has a simple and logic structure, and a self-balancing scooter adopting the foot plate is compact in overall structure, easy to install, convenient to operate, better in control performance, and longer in service life.

Leaning vehicle
A leaning vehicle includes an actuator control unit that causes an actuator to generate an actuator torque in a counterclockwise direction based on a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the case where a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the counterclockwise direction is generated by a rider performing one operation of a right-grip-pushing-force increasing operation, a left-grip-pulling-force increasing operation, a right-grip-pulling-force reducing operation, and a left-grip-pushing-force reducing operation. The actuator control unit causes the actuator to generate an actuator torque in a clockwise direction based on a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the case where a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the clockwise direction is generated by a rider performing one operation of a left-grip-pushing-force increasing operation, a right-grip-pulling-force increasing operation, a left-grip-pulling-force reducing operation, and a right-grip-pushing-force reducing operation.

Self-Balancing Enclosed Motorcycle
A self-balancing enclosed motorcycle includes a platform base, a seat, a first wheel and a second wheel, a rear cabin, a door component and a gyroscope system. The gyroscope system includes a housing, a gyroscope sensor, a calculation device, an electrical coding device, a microprocessor, a servomotor, a vertical corrective rod movably extended from the servomotor, a first balancing assembly and a second balancing assembly. The first balancing assembly is mounted in the housing to engage with the vertical corrective rod. The second balancing assembly mounted in the housing at an opposite side of the first balancing assembly to engage with the vertical corrective rod. The vertical corrective rod is normally retained in a substantially vertical orientation with respect to the platform base.
