Shock absorber structure and mobility device including same
A shock absorber includes a stationary part; a steering part extending in a longitudinal direction and rotatably coupled to the stationary part by a rotation axis in the longitudinal direction; a sliding part which forms an internal space containing fluid between the steering part and slidably coupled to the steering part in a direction in which the steering part extends; an elastic body having both ends respectively coupled to the steering part and the sliding part to support the steering part and the sliding part and maintain the internal space between the steering part and the sliding part; a flow path formed in the sliding part and configured to communicate the internal space between the steering part and the sliding part to outside so that the fluid can flow; and a steered driving wheel slidably connected to the sliding part.

Bicycle Fork and Bicycle Fork System
A bicycle fork including two fork legs connected with each other via a fork bridge. The fork bridge is connected with a steer tube. For a simpler arrangement of shift cables, hydraulic lines, cables and the like, the steer tube includes at least one flattening extending in the longitudinal direction of the steer shaft.

Tilting two wheel front fork assembly for a vehicle
A front fork assembly includes a shock absorbing assembly and an anti-revolving guiding member arranged in a front-rear direction and extending in an up-down direction to interconnect a suspending bracket and the connecting bridge, left and right connecting levers interconnecting a swing arm assembly and a crank pivoting shaft, and left and right cranks for mounting with two front wheels of a tilting vehicle. Occurrence of speed wobble of the front fork assembly is prevented to render driving of electric bicycles, scooters and motorcycles equipped with the front fork assembly better and safer, to shorten the braking distance of vehicles, to prevent spinning of vehicles during braking, to prevent side slip during turning, to provide more comfortable feeling of shock absorption of vehicles, and to render the driving stable when passing over obstacles.
STRADDLED VEHICLE
A straddled vehicle including: a vehicle body frame having a head pipe and a down frame extending downward and rearward from the head pipe; a steering shaft rotatably inserted in the head pipe; a front fork linked to the steering shaft, the front fork including an outer tube and an inner tube that is slidably inserted in the outer tube; a bottom bridge linking the front fork and a portion of the steering shaft that is downward relative to the head pipe; a radiator arranged rearward of the front fork, the radiator overlapping the outer tube in a front view; a front wheel supported by the front fork; a front fender arranged upward of the front wheel; and a rectifier member attached to a portion of the outer tube that is upward of the front wheel and downward of the bottom bridge, the rectifier member extending rearward.

ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTORCYCLE ASSEMBLY
A system for a motorized vehicle having a frame and a wheel rotatably coupled to the frame has a first fender housing mounted to the frame, a second fender housing coupled to the first fender housing so that a volume is defined therebetween and an electronic component disposed in the volume.

A motorcycle (10) comprising a first frame member (110) having a first opening (128) and a plurality of wires. A joint member (140) is coupled to the first frame member and at least a second frame member (122, 62). The joint member has a second opening (142) therethrough. The plurality of wires extend into the first opening through the first frame member and through the second opening of the joint member.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STABILIZING FRONT FORK SUSPENSION OF A BIKE
A suspension stabilizer and method are described which may be attached to a bike having front fork suspension to improve handling and reduce rider fatigue. The suspension stabilizer may include a counterweight, a spring assembly and a guide assembly. The spring assembly may be arranged to provide a spring force between the counterweight and the guide assembly to resist linear motion of the counterweight along a guide assembly axis. The counterweight and spring assembly may have a natural motion frequency of 3 to 15 Hertz and may be based on one or more characteristics of the front fork suspension.
