A bicycle can include a forward frame triangle that can include a top tube, a bottom tube, a bottom bracket, a structural seat tube, a compliant seat tube, and a pair of seat stays. The top tube can have a first end connected to a head tube and a second end. The bottom tube can have a first end connected to the head tube. The bottom bracket can be connected to the bottom tube. The structural seat tube can be connected to the bottom bracket and the top tube. The compliant seat tube can extend in an upward direction from the bottom bracket to the top tube and within the structural seat tube. The compliant seat tube can be coupled to the forward frame triangle such that the compliant seat post can bend within the structural seat tube.

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 secondary storage compartment may be located under the seat. Additionally, the storage compartments may have electronic locking mechanisms that are activated via a wireless connection to a remote electronic device. The rear suspension may include a swingarm on one side of the vehicle.

The radiator is disposed between the accommodation box and a front wheel. A rear edge lower portion, which is at least part of a rear edge, of the cover with which an opening of the accommodation box can be closed and opened is inclined obliquely in side view of the vehicle body, and the cover is supported in an opening-forward manner with reference to a support shaft disposed along the inclination.

An air intake structure for a saddled vehicle including a downsized air cleaner box and a sufficient intake path is provided. An air intake structure for a saddled vehicle applied to a saddled vehicle including an engine suspended from a vehicle body frame and an air cleaner box disposed behind the engine includes: a side cover mounted on a sidewall on an outer side in the vehicle width direction of the air cleaner box; and a side cover opening formed at the side cover toward the vehicle rear side. Outside air to be taken into the air cleaner box is taken from the side cover opening. The sidewall is provided with an intake opening, and the intake opening is covered with the side cover. The side cover includes a body that covers the sidewall, and a canopy member provided at the surface of the body. The side cover opening is formed of the outer edge of the canopy member.

A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly, a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame assembly, and a cooling assembly positioned below a head portion of the frame assembly and intermediate vertically-extending frame tubes of the frame assembly. A lower end of the cooling assembly is coupled to a lower end of the vertically-extending frame tubes, and an upper end of the cooling assembly is frictionally retained at an upper end of each of the vertically-extending frame tubes.

A scooter includes a diversity of sensors to adapt scooter characteristics to any one or more than one of safety aspects, and scooter, environmental or driver states. Scooter characteristics susceptible to adaptation include throttle response; motor torque; motor speed; speed; maximum current drawn from energy storage system; braking characteristics, such as distribution, maximum braking power, anti-blocking system parameters or braking; adjusting vehicle dynamics, and suspension parameters such as stiffness, or damping coefficient.

A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end, a front ground-engaging member, a rear ground-engaging member, a front fender coupled to the front end of the frame assembly, a rear fender coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly, and at least one saddle bag supported by the rear end of the frame assembly. The at least one saddle bag has a front end, a rear flap generally opposite the front end, an inner side wall coupled to the front end, and an outer side wall generally opposite the inner side wall and coupled to the front end and the rear flap to define an internal cargo portion of the at least one saddle bag. The rear flap defines a rear portion of the internal cargo portion.
