Cargo bike
Cargo bike comprising a collapsible frame, the collapsible frame being adjustable between an elongate state in which the collapsible frame positions a front and rear wheel of the cargo bike at a first distance along a longitudinal axis of the cargo bike, and a collapsed state in which the collapsible frame positions the front and rear wheel at a second, smaller distance along the longitudinal axis of the cargo bike, a cargo holder for holding cargo that comprises a face that extends substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis, and wherein in the collapsed state of the collapsible frame at least one of the wheels extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cargo bike and at least partially overlaps with the transversely extending face.
FOLDING PORTABLE ELECTRIC SCOOTER
A three wheeled stand-up or sit down foldable and portable electric personal mobility vehicle suited to fulfilling the needs of a broad spectrum of users. The front end wheel assembly comprises an electrically powered front wheel hub motor that provides power to move forward and backward. An electric control box mounted flush to the steering fork assembly with means of electrically connecting hub motor, battery, and controls. An upper sub-part comprises a telescopic handlebar to control direction of the front wheel, controls comprising a brake lever, throttle, and forward/reverse switch to control speed, and an ignition headlight assembly with removable keys. Below the handle bars comprise a folding column enabling the steering column and handlebar assembly to fold down. A lower subpart comprises a foldable metal support frame comprising hinged pivot points at the lower rear to mate with rear chassis allowing front wheel assembly to fold down upon the rear chassis, comprising a mechanism to secure the front frame assembly into a locked, unfolded position (ready to drive) or in an unlocked folded position (ready to stow). Continuing further down the front support frame comprises a kick out support wheel which drops down and touches the ground when moving to folded position allowing for the rear chassis to form a tri pod stance between the two rear wheels and the kick out wheel. Conversely, when moving into unfolded position, said support wheel tucks back under rear chassis. A second part, a rear chassis assembly comprising a flat platform surface mounted on a rectangular metal frame. Said metal frame comprises a mounting bracket for a removable seat post and a rear axle connected to the frame in which respective left and right rear wheels are mounted. Rear chassis further comprises a metal housing recessed under said flat platform which comprises a removable battery pack and electrical means for charging and providing power to the front frame assembly electrical systems. The front end of the rear chassis frame comprises respective pivot points to mate with front frame assembly comprising a centered U shaped notch in the frame to allow the fastening or releasing mechanism to set into place securely connecting front chassis to rear chassis into upright and ready to drive position or releasing from ready to drive position and folding for stowing.
COMPACT FOLDING ELECTRIC BICYCLE
A vehicle is configurable between an expanded arrangement and a folded arrangement. A front wheel is rotatably and removably mounted in a front fork at a front axle. A front wheel quick release skewer configured to couple the front wheel to and decouple the front wheel from the front fork. A main frame has a head tube configured to receive the front fork and a seat tube distal therefrom. A rear wheel assembly includes a rear wheel carrier pivotably coupled with the seat tube and selectively coupled with the seat tube by seat stays. A quick release clamp is configured to enable selective pivoting of the handlebar relative to a steering tube about a pivot axis of steering tube hinge. A rear wheel carrier mount is provided to the rear wheel carrier and is configured for removable coupling of the front axle with the front wheel removed from the front fork.
Electric bicycle
An electric bicycle includes a motor and a controller. A heart rate monitor is programmed to communicate a heart rate signal representing a heart rate of an occupant to the controller. The controller is programmed to receive a destination distance of the electric bicycle relative to a predetermined destination. The controller is programmed to provide instruction to adjust power to the motor based at least on the heart rate signal and the destination distance.
Foldable electric vehicle
The invention discloses a novel rapidly foldable electric vehicle comprising a main beam, a rear wheel, a cross beam, a bracket and a forward/backward movable saddle, wherein a pin is arranged at a junction between a lower end of the bracket and the main beam, a supporting post is arranged at the lower end of the bracket, the bracket and the supporting post are rotatably arranged about the pin, an included angle of less than 180 is formed between the supporting post and the bracket, and a towing wheel is arranged at a lower end of the supporting post. When the vehicle is folded, the saddle slides forward from a rear part of the cross beam and drives the bracket and the supporting post to rotate counterclockwise about the pin, the towing wheel moves downward and backward and gradually touches the ground, and after the towing wheel touches the ground, the rear wheel leaves the ground and the saddle moves to a front part of the cross beam to complete the folding action, thus the vehicle is in a towed or flat state. When the vehicle is towed, the towing wheel is positioned at a middle-rear part of a vehicle body, and when a human body stands upright, the vehicle body tilts, its center of gravity naturally shifts backward, the vehicle body has less pressure on the human body and towing is performed with less effort. When the vehicle is folded, the saddle moves forward without moving backward and the rear space of the vehicle body can be saved. When the vehicle is folded and laid flat, the towing wheel touches the ground and the vehicle body does not tip over easily.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PACKING A HUMAN-POWERABLE WHEELED VEHICLE
A bicycle frame system comprises a connection module that rotatably connects a front frame section to a rear frame section. The connection module comprises a hinge section and a clamp section. The hinge section is below the clamp section when the bicycle frame system is in a ridable orientation. The connection module hinge section has a horizontal axis of rotation configured for rotating a front bicycle frame section approximately 180 degrees downwards and rearwards relative to a rear bicycle same frame section to convert the bicycle frame system from a ridable configuration to a folded configuration. The connection module clamp section comprises a front clamp block, a rear clamp block and a fastening device. The fastening device is configured to secure the front clamp block to the rear clamp block when the bicycle frame system is in a ridable configuration. The interface between the front clamp block and the rear clamp block comprises at least one v-shaped feature configured to prevent the front clamp block from moving laterally relative to the rear clamp block when the front clamp block is pressed against the rear clamp block.
Foldable vehicle
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.
Electric bicycle
A bicycle includes a frame including first and second segments pivotable relative to each other between a folded position and an unfolded position. A magnet is fixed relative to the first segment. An electromagnet is fixed relative to the second segment and disposed in a magnetic field of the magnet when the frame is in the folded position. A controller is configured to power the electromagnet to repel the magnet to unfold the frame.
