An electric vehicle rechargeable via electric power transferred from a power outlet separate from the vehicle includes a seat movable between a first position for supporting a person and a second position. A caddy is positioned below the seat to define a cable storage volume. The cable storage volume is accessible when the seat is in the second position. A charging port is positioned outside of the caddy and accessible with the seat in the first position. A charging cable is positioned within the caddy, the charging cable having a first end engageable with the charging port of the vehicle and a second end engageable with the power outlet. The first and second ends of the charging cable are removable from the caddy when the seat is in the second position to enable charging the electric vehicle via the charging cable and the charging port.

A vehicle for a person to ride on a ground surface includes a rigid frame that has front and rear ends and at least a seat on a top side of the frame. A steering mechanism disposed proximate the front end of the frame is adapted for allowing the person to steer a front wheel. A steering fork may include two lower fork members each selectively detachable from two upper fork members of the steering fork at two telescoping attachment arrangements that includes a front suspension arrangement. A rigid frame extension has a front end that is pivotally fixed proximate the rear end of the frame. The frame extension includes at least one rear wheel fixed with a rear end of the frame extension. A motor is fixed with the front wheel and is electrically connected with at least one battery and a throttle switch fixed with the steering mechanism.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that is integrated into a bike lock, lock, or lock assembly.

A motorcycle, or saddle type vehicle, is disclosed that may have at least one seat and at least two wheels, at least one hub electric motor. A large dry storage compartment may be positioned between the rider and steering mount. A rechargeable battery and battery management system may be located below the storage compartment in a battery housing, where the battery housing may be a structural component of the chassis. A rear electronics housing may be attached to and located behind the battery housing, and may contain major electrical components such as electric motor controller and contactors. Two structural members, or frame side rails, may form sides of the storage compartment and extend between the electronics housing and steering mount. The electronics housing may also connect to the battery housing such that the battery housing reinforces and strengthens the chassis, or structural frame.

A motorcycle includes left and right side cases respectively configured to be attachable to and detachable from left and right portions of a body frame, left and right rotation supporters that respectively support upper portions of the left and right side cases, and left and right rotation attenuation mechanisms that respectively attenuate rotations of the left and right side cases about first and second axes. The left and right rotation attenuation mechanisms respectively include bolts that respectively extend in directions of the first and second axes, rotation members respectively connected to lower portions of the left and right side cases and being supported by the bolts to be rotatable about third and fourth axes that are different from the first and second axes, and inner outer cylindrical dampers respectively provided between the bolts and the rotation members.

A bike having an automatic landing wheel apparatus includes a left landing wheel arm on the left side of the bike to vertically move a left landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A right landing wheel arm on the right side of the bike vertically moves a right landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A left driving unit drives the left landing wheel arm to move the left landing wheel upward and downward. A right driving unit drives the right landing wheel arm to move the right landing wheel upward and downward. A speed detection unit detects the speed of the bike. A controller is connected with the speed detection unit, the left driving unit, and the right driving unit to move the left and right landing wheels upward or downward in response to the detected speed of the bike.
