Bicycle power meter
A bicycle power meter includes a strain gauge, a signal processing unit, a processor, and a signal transmitter. The strain gauge is disposed on at least one of an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall of a handlebar of a bicycle. The signal processing unit connected to the strain gauge by signal correspondingly outputs an electrical signal based on a deformation of the handlebar detected by the strain gauge. The processor connected to the signal processing unit by signal receives the electrical signal sent by the signal processing unit and calculates a measuring value based on the electrical signal and sends the measuring value in an output signal. The signal transmitter connected to the processor by signal receives the output signal sent by the processor and converts the output signal to a wired or wireless signal and sends the wired or wireless signal to a terminal device.
PERCH MOUNT HANDGUARD
A handguard assembly for handlebars is provided. In one embodiment, the handguard mounting assembly includes a pair of arm members, a pair of modified perches, a pair of adapters, and a pair of mounting devices. In this embodiment, the modified perches are used to install the handguard. Each arm member is configured to connect to one of the pair of mounting devices through the modified perch and is further configured to connect to an end portion of a respective handlebar. The adapters are used to connect the modified perch and mounting hardware when the perches are installed in front and back direction. The adapters are not needed when the perches are installed in up and down direction.

Motorcycle light for realizing at least one light function
The invention relates to a motorcycle lamp (2) for implementing at least one lamp function. The motorcycle lamp (2) comprises a housing (4) having a light-emission aperture (6), a bracket (8) mounted on the housing (4) for securing the motorcycle lamp (2) to a motorcycle, at least one light source (10) disposed in the housing (4) and a front optics (12) made of a solid transparent material disposed between the at least one light source (10) and the light-emission aperture (6), wherein the at least one light source (10) comprises an LED and is disposed and oriented in the housing (4) such that it emits light in a main radiation direction (14) extending through the light-emission aperture (6), and wherein the front optics (12) closes the light-emission aperture (6) and deflects and shapes the light emitted by the at least one light source (10) to generate a light distribution corresponding to a lamp function implemented by the motorcycle lamp (2). In order for the lamp (2) to improve the lateral perceptibility without the use of additional optical elements in the optical path, it is proposed that a light-emission surface (16) of the front optics (12) has a first convex curvature when viewed in a horizontal plane (yz) and a second convex curvature when viewed in a vertical plane (xz), the latter being smaller than the first convex curvature in the horizontal plane (yz) or flat.
Bicycle power meter
A bicycle power meter includes a strain gauge, a signal processing unit, a processor, and a signal transmitter. The strain gauge is disposed on at least one of an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall of a stem of a bicycle. The signal processing unit connected to the strain gauge by signal correspondingly outputs an electrical signal based on a deformation of the stem detected by the strain gauge. The processor connected to the signal processing unit by signal receives the electrical signal sent by the signal processing unit and calculates a measuring value based on the electrical signal and sends the measuring value in an output signal. The signal transmitter connected to the processor by signal receives the output signal sent by the processor and converts the output signal to a wired or wireless signal and sends the wired or wireless signal to a terminal device.
Electric tricycle
An electric tricycle with a tricycle frame, at least two pedals, and an electric motor. The tricycle frame has a steering assembly with handlebars and a front wheel and a rear wheel assembly with two rear wheels mounted on a rear axle. The pedals are rotatably coupled to the rear wheel assembly. The pedals have an engaged configuration where the pedals are engaged with the rear axle and a disengaged configuration where the pedals are disengaged from the rear axles. The electric motor is mounted on the rear wheel assembly and is electrically coupled to a battery. The electric motor is configured to engage with the rear axle when the pedals are in the disengaged configuration. The electric motor may have a forward clutch to rotate the rear axle in a first direction and a reverse clutch to rotate the rear axle in a second direction opposite the first direction.

THREE-WHEELED TILTING VEHICLE
There is described a three-wheeled vehicle (1) with two front steered wheels and two footboards (41.1, 41.2) on which the driver stands to drive the vehicle. The footboards are supported on a tilting four-bar linkage, having a front crosspiece 27 and a rear crosspiece 33, between which two rocker arms 31.1 and 31.2 extend. The front steered wheels are supported by the rocker arms and rotate around steering axes (S.1, S.2).

Head Tube Assembly
The present invention relates to a head assembly for a bicycle including a front fork tube arranged to extend through a head tube of a frame of the bicycle and a tensioning assembly for tensioning of the headset assembly relative to the front fork tube, such as for rotation relative to the front fork tube by means of a suitable bearing. The tensioning assembly includes a tensioning member, such as a bridge or star, preferably with an inner screw thread, arranged in the front fork tube, suitable for receiving a fixation tensioner, such as a tensioning bolt, preferably with an outer screw thread, and for receiving of a tensioning force of the headset assembly, a tensioning sleeve for arranging about a length of an end of the front fork tube and for extending somewhat beyond the end of the end of the front fork tube, and a tensioning cap for applying the tension between the front fork tube and the tensioning sleeve by means of the fixation tensioner. The headset assembly is suitable for functional mounting and tensioning by means of the fixation tensioner prior to mounting of a bicycle handlebar or handlebar bend to the headset assembly.
