A steering system includes a front fork, a front wheel, a handlebar, two bar ends, and two steering members. The handlebar includes a support bar and two elbows disposed at two opposite ends of the support bar. The two bar ends each includes a grip and a linkage; the linkage fits through the corresponding elbow and connects with the grip. Each of the steering members connects the corresponding bar end to the front fork, so that the swing direction of the grips determines the turning direction of the front fork and thus the travel direction of the front wheel. A bicycle using the steering system is also provided. The steering system and the bicycle of the present invention utilize swinging of the grips of the bar ends connected to the two elbows extending from the handlebar to control the travel direction of the front wheel.

A multifunctional hand guard for a vehicle with a handlebar, said guard having at least three functional modes. The multifunctional hand guard includes: (a) a main hand guard body structure; (b) a cut out cover (insert); and (c) an adjustable guard shield, as well as attachment mechanisms. The cover may be inserted or removed and the shield may be up, down or in between or it may be removed, depending on weather conditions and the desire of the user.

A handlebar mount includes a first side body and a second side body; and a central body, the central body interconnecting the first and second side bodies. The handlebar mount further includes a first elastic portion and a second elastic portion, oriented on the first and second side bodies, respectively. The handlebar mount further includes a first hook and a second hook, the first and second hooks oriented to receive the first and second elastic portions, respectively, and hold them securely.

A two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle is disclosed. In one aspect, the two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle comprises a first wheel and a second wheel, the first wheel and the second wheel being spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another. The two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle further comprises a foot placement section connecting the first wheel and the second wheel. The two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle further comprises a set of position sensors in the foot placement section, the set of position sensors configured to generate inclination angle signals and velocity signals of the two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle. The two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle further comprises a first gravity sensor and a second gravity sensor in the foot placement section, the first gravity sensor and the second gravity sensor configured to generate weight signals and gravity angle signals. In addition, the two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle comprises a control logic configured to output control signals that control the movement of the two-wheel, self-balancing vehicle in response to the inclination angle signals, the velocity signals, the weight signals, and the gravity angle signals.

Discloses methods and apparatus for headset transmissions mounted to a steerer tube rotationally mounted relative to a head-tube and headset of a cycle frame. A first transmission member mounts about a rotational axis of the steerer tube. The first transmission member rotates with the steerer tube about the rotational axis, and can also translate relative to the steerer tube to transmit a first displacement force to or from a handle bar mounted device. The first displacement force is transmitted to the first transmission member from an interior of the steerer tube. A second transmission member mounts about the rotational axis of the steerer tube. The second transmission member is rotationally isolated to rotate relative to the first transmission member, and can translate with the first transmission member. The second transmission member allows transmission of a second displacement force, from the first displacement force, to a cycle frame mounted device.

The front wheel suspension device for a saddle-ride type vehicle, includes a front fork having a lower end supporting a front wheel; a steering member rotatably supported by a body frame, and rotated about a rotational axis in accordance with operation of a handlebar; and a link member composed of an upper link and a lower link. The upper link of the link member has one end rockably connected to the steering member. The lower link has an upper portion rockably connected to the other end of the upper link and a lower portion rockably connected to an upper end of the front fork. A handlebar grip portion is formed at both ends of the handlebar in a vehicle width direction with the handlebar grip portion being disposed between the upper link and the lower link in a side view.
