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.

A headset assembly system for a bicycle is provided having a handlebar stem (1), radially fastenable by tightening to a fork tube (2), rotatable by headset bearings (7) with respect to a head tube (3) wherein the headset bearings are fastened (7); a retaining flange (4), radially fastenable by tightening to the fork tube (2); a thrust ring (5), axially movable along the fork tube (2); such that the retaining flange (4) and the thrust ring (5) are configured to contact each other by a ramp (6) which relates a rotation with a movement relative to each other; the thrust ring (5) is arranged such that, when the thrust ring (5) is rotated around the fork tube (2) with the retaining flange (4) fastened to the fork tube (2), the thrust ring (5) moves with respect to the retaining flange (4) pushing the stem (1) against the headset bearings (7).

A stem includes a stem body, a column and a locking device. The stem body is provided with a perforation. The column is disposed at one end of the stem body and provided with a first aperture, the perforation is in communication with the first aperture. The locking device is disposed in the perforation and includes a clamping part, two sliding blocks and a first fixing member, the clamping part is located between the sliding blocks, and the first fixing member penetrates the clamping part and the sliding blocks. When the first fixing member moves toward the inside of the perforation, the first fixing member drives the sliding blocks to approach each other and squeeze the clamping part, such that the clamping part moves in a direction toward the first aperture. According to this, the assembly and disassembly procedures of the present invention are quite simple and easy to operate.

A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.

A motorcycle, or saddle type vehicle, is disclosed that may have at least one seat and at least two wheels, at least one hub electric motor. A large dry storage compartment may be positioned between the rider and steering mount. A rechargeable battery and battery management system may be located below the storage compartment in a battery housing, where the battery housing may be a structural component of the chassis. A rear electronics housing may be attached to and located behind the battery housing, and may contain major electrical components such as electric motor controller and contactors. Two structural members, or frame side rails, may form sides of the storage compartment and extend between the electronics housing and steering mount. The electronics housing may also connect to the battery housing such that the battery housing reinforces and strengthens the chassis, or structural frame.
