Vehicle

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a steering swivel unit supported on a head pipe of the vehicle frame and angularly movable about a steering axis, a front wheel angularly movable in unison with the steering swivel unit, and a steering handle mounted on the steering swivel unit. The vehicle has a steering handle turning mechanism that makes the steering handle angularly movable about the steering axis relatively to the steering swivel unit. The steering handle turning mechanism includes a handle turning motor for angularly moving the steering handle about the steering axis.

DEVICE FOR PASSIVE CONTROL OF STEERING MECHANISMS
20200070911 · 2020-03-05 ·

A device for preventing the front wheel of a bicycle from turning, comprising a clamp, a lever, and a receiver. The clamp is configured to be removably coupled with the steer tube of a bicycle, and is adjustable. The adjustable clamp is configured to be secured tightly around the steer tube to prevent rotation of the front wheel of the bicycle and to prevent rotation of the clamp around the steer tube. The lever is coupled with the clamp and is rotatable from vertical, through horizontal, to the proper angle to meet the receiver, which is disposed on a cross bar or down tube of a bicycle. The lever includes a knob and the receiver is configured to receive and slightly contract around the knob, temporarily coupling the steer tube and the cross bar or down tube, locking the wheel in its position when the lever is engaged.

System and Method for Balancing a Bicycle
20200010141 · 2020-01-09 ·

This disclosure relates to a system for balancing a bicycle. The system can comprise a frame, a tension system, and a steering system. The frame can be capable of mounting to a bicycle. The tension system can be capable of connecting with handlebars of the bicycle. The steering system can be mounted to the frame, further the steering system can be in communication with the tension system such that manually maneuvering the steering system can adjust tension within the tension system to steer the bicycle.

Steering assembly for micromobility transit vehicles

A micromobility transit vehicle may include a steering assembly. The steering assembly may include a fork, a steer tube, a stiffening brace, and a stem. The steer tube may extend from the fork and be positioned to rotate within a headtube. The stiffening brace may extend from the fork and be positioned about the headtube. The stiffening brace may include a first engagement surface. The stem may be coupled to the steer tube and the stiffening brace to secure the steering assembly to the headtube. The stem may include a second engagement surface complementary to the first engagement surface and engaged with the first engagement surface to rotationally lock the stem and stiffening brace together.

Foot-deck-based vehicles having adjustable steering characteristics

A foot-deck-based vehicle having an adjustable steering characteristic is provided. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a foot-deck with a front end, a rear end, and at least one rear wheel proximal to the rear end. A front wheel assembly is coupled to the foot-deck proximal to the front end to pivot relative to the foot-deck about a front wheel assembly pivot axis that is at an acute angle to a vertical axis when the foot-deck-based vehicle is upright. The front wheel assembly includes at least one front wheel rotatably coupled to a front wheel support. A steering characteristic adjustment structure adjustably controls a steering characteristic of the foot-deck-based vehicle.
