A handlebar assembly including: an upper bracket rotatable with a steering shaft; a handlebar extending in a left-right direction; a handle holder supporting the handlebar and including: a pair of handlebar supporting sections positioned respectively on left and right sides of the steering shaft, a main body positioned away from the handlebar supporting sections in an up-down direction view, and a pair of connecting arm sections connecting the handlebar supporting sections to the main body; a pair of supporting connecting sections connecting the handlebar supporting sections to the upper bracket, where the handle holder is displaceable in the up-down and/or lateral direction; and a body connecting section connecting the main body to the upper bracket. A distance between each of the supporting connecting sections and the body connecting section, in the up-down direction view, is greater than a sum of a width and a thickness of each connecting arm section.

A bicycle has a front fork, within which the front wheel is mounted, attached to the head tube. Extending downwardly from each end of a lateral member are downwardly projecting forks, each comprising a primary portion, the respective primary portions extending downwardly and substantially parallel to each other. The longitudinal axes of both the main portion and a rider's lower leg are aligned. By aligning the wakes created by the forks and the lower leg a reduction in overall system drag is provided. Additionally or alternatively, the rear wheel may be provided between downwardly projecting stays, each comprising a primary portion, the respective primary portions extending downwardly and substantially parallel to each other. By aligning the downwardly projecting stays with the lower leg beneficial drag reduction is achieved.

A straddle vehicle includes a front fork unit provided to be inclined rearwardly, a front cover provided forwardly of the front fork unit, and having a rear cover member, and a front cover member separately provided from the front cover member and positioned forwardly of the rear cover member, a headlamp provided at the front cover, a holder attached to the rear cover member and holds the headlamp, and a driver that drives the headlamp. The driver stored in the front cover such that the driver is located at a position farther upward than the headlamp, farther rearward than a first virtual line extending in a up-and-down direction through a rear end of the headlamp in a front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, and farther rearward than a second virtual line extending in parallel with an axis of the front fork unit in the side view of the vehicle.

A vehicle handlebar mounting device and system includes a handlebar clamping assembly, a steering clamping assembly and an isolator. The handlebar clamping assembly having an upper clamp component and a lower clamp component each having protrusions that extend outward from one surface and that are joined together to form a single circular opening for receiving a handlebar. An isolator that is constructed from an impact absorbing material includes a circular-shaped main body having a hollow central channel, a plurality of protrusions extending outward from one end and a plurality of apertures extending through the protrusions. Each of the apertures receiving the plurality of protrusions of the handlebar clamping assembly. The vehicle steering clamping assembly includes a riser and a clamp structure that form a circular opening for receiving the isolator and handlebar assembly.

A child vehicle includes a front frame having a handlebar with a steering tube and a front fork having a fork stem and a front wheel, a rear frame including a head tube and a rear wheel, and a sleeve assembly mounted to the front frame and engaging the rear frame to rotatably connect the front and rear frames in a tool-less manner. A method of tool-less assembly of a child vehicle includes inserting an end of the fork stem through the head tube, sliding an inner sleeve over the end of the fork stem and positively connecting the inner sleeve to the fork stem, sliding the outer sleeve over an end of the steering tube, connecting the steering tube to the fork stem, and connecting the outer sleeve to the inner sleeve. A child vehicle having a rear wheel connected to the vehicle in a tool-less manner and a method of achieving such a tool-less connection is also disclosed.
