A bicycle including a handlebar attached to a frame at substantially a midpoint and a seat post, a plurality of light sources normally disposed to project light in either of a first, second or third forward direction, said plurality of light sources controlled by a microcomputer which employs a sensor to monitor the immediate position of either the handlebar with respect to the frame or the orientation of the bicycle with respect to the horizontal, and which selects the appropriate light source to be illuminated to project light in the most preferred direction to illuminate the anticipated path of the bicycle to improve visibility and safety during operation, particularly under low ambient light conditions, and wherein the microcomputer activates one or more front or rear turn signals, and brake lights in response to movement of the bicycle, handlebars or a manual signal.

The present disclosure relates to a seat post for a bicycle, a moped or the like, comprising a seat post tube, wherein said seat post tube comprises an opening member that is configured to allow a closure element of the seat post to perform a movement, by means of which a region inside the seat post tube can be accessed in order to insert or remove an elongated object, wherein said seat post tube comprises an upper portion and a lower portion opposite the upper portion, said upper portion being configured to be connected to a seat clamping device and/or to a seat, and wherein the closure element is preferably provided in the region of the upper portion. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a frame for a bicycle, a moped or the like, a use of a seat post or frame according to the disclosure, a folding lock, a locking system and a lock/handlebar combination.

This saddle-type vehicle includes a warning vibration generator (205) that generates a predetermined vibration to issue a warning to a driver, the warning vibration generator (205) includes a warning selection unit (210) that selects a predetermined warning in accordance with a strength of driving assist control, and, in accordance with the warning selected by the warning selection unit (210), the warning vibration generator (205) generates a vibration (a haptic vibration) as a warning in a frequency band that avoids a vibration frequency common to a motorcycle.

An integrated bicycle control device has a handlebar portion of a bicycle handlebar assembly. The handlebar portion has a body with a gripping portion adjacent a distal end of the body and a transition portion spaced from the gripping portion. A compartment may be formed in the transition portion and an opening in the body may permit access to the compartment. An actuator is disposed near the distal end of the gripping portion. A control element and/or other elements or circuitry may be disposed within the compartment. The control device may include integrated accessory attachment structure.

A method for controlling engine braking in a vehicle comprises: determining a position of a throttle operator; determining a speed of the vehicle; and determining an engine braking mode selected. In response to the position of the throttle operator being a fully released position and the selected braking mode being a first engine braking mode: controlling an engine and a position of a throttle valve according to the first engine braking mode for applying a first level of engine braking. In response to the position of the throttle operator being the fully released position and the selected braking mode being the second engine braking mode: controlling the engine and the position of the throttle valve according to the second engine braking mode based at least on the speed of the vehicle for applying a second level of engine braking. A vehicle implementing the method is also disclosed.
