Bicycle
Bicycle comprising a head tube (3), a down tube and a steering tube. The head tube comprises a cable passage (14) connecting the interior of the head tube with the interior of the down tube. The steering tube (16) engages an upper bearing (18) and a lower bearing (19) within the head tube. The upper bearing is below the cable passage. Cables (12) enter the head tube (3) at a top end of the head tube and leave the head tube via the cable passage (14) to the down tube (4).

STEERING LINKAGE FOR BICYCLES
A steering linkage assembly that allows an offset between a steering axis and a headtube axis of a bicycle. In turn, rider cockpit dimensions are divorced from vehicle performance aspects such that vehicle performance aspects may be tailored regardless of rider size. The steering linkage assembly generally includes linkage members on an opposite side of a linkage chassis than handlebars of the bicycle to improve performance by increasing steering angle range allowed by the linkage. In addition, different linkage members and linkage chasses may be provided to accommodate different offsets between the steering axis and the headtube axis.

Motorcycle with two front steering wheels and a steering handlebar with variable steering ratio
Motorcycle including at least one rear wheel, at least two front steering wheels, a handlebar, the front wheels being rotatable about respective lateral steering axes, according to lateral steering angles; the handlebar being rotatable according to a central steering angle about a central steering axis, the front wheels being kinematically connected to the steering handlebar by transmission means that realize a transmission ratio defined by the ratio between the lateral steering angles and the central steering angle, where the transmission means has a steering bar, kinematically connected to the handlebar, which directly links the front wheels together, wherein the transmission ratio between the front wheels and the steering handlebar is variable as the central steering angle of the handlebar varies.

DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR-ASSISTED BICYCLE, AND ELECTRIC MOTOR-ASSISTED BICYCLE
A display apparatus for an electric motor-assisted bicycle includes a tubular connecting pipe to allow a member coaxial with a steering axle of the electric motor-assisted bicycle to be inserted therein, and a display extending outward from the connecting pipe in a radial direction of the connecting pipe. The display includes a display surface to display a state of the electric motor-assisted bicycle and a button located on a surface of the display different from the display surface. A component of a depression direction of the button in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the connecting pipe is larger than a component in a direction of the axis of the connecting pipe.
BAR HANDLE DEVICE
A bar handle device includes a fixing portion attached to a steering mechanism, a short portion to which grips are attached, and a long portion connecting the short portion and the fixing portion. The long portion is composed of a first bar member and a second bar member interconnected in serial, and includes a cross-linking member connecting the first bar member and the second bar member.

Mobility vehicle
A pump-action mobility vehicle may include a pumping arm attached to a foot slide. As the pumping arm is actuated, the foot slide moves forward and rearward in response to the pumping action. The foot slide may be connected to a drive mechanism that selectively engages a chain or belt that loops around a drive wheel arranged on an axle of the vehicle. When the drive mechanism catches and moves the belt or chain in a forward direction, the axle rotates in a forward direction to drive the vehicle forward. A reverse mechanism may also be provided that selectively causes the drive mechanism to catch and drive the belt or chain in an opposite direction.
