ADAPTOR BAR FOR BICYCLES
An adaptor bar includes a retractable tube unit. Two end parts are respectively connected to two respective ends of the tube unit. Two C-shaped hooks are respectively fixed to the two ends of the tube unit. Each hook includes a first connection portion. Two plates are respectively connected to the two end parts. Each plate includes a first section, a second section and a third section. The second section is formed inclinedly between the first and third sections. The third section of each plate is fixed to the end part corresponding thereto. The first section of each plate is removably engaged with the first connection portion of the hook by sliding the end part. The first section includes a first recess and a second recess. The second recess is located close to the second section and includes a recessed reinforcement which reinforces a portion between the first and second sections.
Transforming electric scooter having a stand-on configuration and a ride-on configuration
An electric transformable scooter that can transform between a stand-on configuration and a ride-on configuration. The scooter has a fixed frame member at the front to which the front wheel and handlebar are mounted, and movable frame member that extends between the rear wheel and the fixed frame member. The front end of the movable frame member slides or otherwise adjusts to either a lower position or an upper position on the fixed frame member. When the movable frame member is at the lower position and locked thereat, it is generally horizontal, and its top surface defines a stand-on floorboard for stand-on operation. When the movable frame member is slid to its upper position and locked thereat, it is inclined from front to rear, and portion rotates away and locks thereat to become a seat for ride-on operation.

NARROW THREE WHEELED VEHICLE WITH STABILIZING AND MODULAR MECHANISMS
A three-wheeled vehicle includes a vehicle frame supported by a single wheel engaging the ground in the front and two wheels engaging the ground in the rear. The operator area of the vehicle may include seating for a driver and a passenger, one in front of the other. The three-wheeled vehicle is uniquely designed so that it can be easily modified by addition or removal of additional structures after it is purchased. The vehicle is ultra-narrow but achieves stability by unique mechanisms.
PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR CARTS TYPE VEHICLES BY USING A SELF-BALANCING SCOOTER COUPLED BY MEANS OF AN ARTICULATED STRUCTURE
This invention consists of a propulsion system for cart type vehicles, or carts (1), whereby a self-balancing scooter, or hoverboard (2), is attached at its rear by means of an articulated structure comprising two control arms (31 32), such that the hoverboard (2), in addition to pushing and controlling the speed, is also a means of transport for the driver, who operates by making a natural use of the cart's handlebar, since it is not necessary to have the ability that the natural use of the hoverboard (2) requires, because both control arms (31, 32), in addition to providing stability, being connected to the hoverboard (2) by articulated joints (1231, 1232) located above each corresponding foot placement platform (201, 202) and pointing to the rotation center of the cart (1) when the cart (1) is stationary, control the direction of the hoverboard (2).

Methods and Apparatus for Reconfigurable Autonomous Vehicle
A vehicle may have a seat and front wheel similar to those of a bicycle. However, the vehicle may have two rear wheels. The position of the two rear wheels may be adjustable. When the two rear wheels touch each other, the vehicle may function as a bicycle. When they are moved apart, the vehicle may function as a tricycle. In tricycle mode, the vehicle may travel autonomously without a human rider. In bicycle mode, a human may ride the vehicle like a bicycle. To transition between bicycle and tricycle modes, each rear wheel may rotate about a horizontal axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. In some cases, a bike chain is connected to only one of the rear wheels. In bicycle mode, motion imparted by the chain to one rear wheel may be transferred to the other by friction.
RIDING VEHICLE
A riding vehicle includes: a main body portion supporting a wheel; a seat stay erected on the main body portion and configured to be switched between a riding state in which a person rides and a cart state in which a person does not ride; a seat fixed to an upper side of the seat stay; a frame provided on the seat stay and configured to hold luggage in the riding state and the cart state; a steering stay erected on the main body portion at an interval with respect to the seat stay in a traveling direction; and a handle provided on the steering stay, in which the frame, in the cart state, exists in a region closer to the handle as compared with that in the riding state.

SNOW VEHICLE
Snow vehicle is disclosed. The snow vehicle includes a pair of runners configured to support the snow vehicle travelling over snow and/or ice, an electric motor, and a traction wheel, powered by the electric motor, and configured to cause a propulsion for the snow vehicle while rolling in contact with the snow and/or the ice. The traction wheel is positioned in front of the pair of runners.
