A bicycle derailleur comprises a circuit board, an electrical user interface, a motor housing, and a motor unit. The electrical user interface includes a user accessing portion configured to receive a user input. The motor housing includes a motor accommodating space. The motor unit is provided in the motor accommodating space and configured to generate rotational force and configured to be electrically connected to the circuit board. A first direction is defined from the circuit board toward the electrical user interface or from the electrical user interface toward the circuit board. The plurality of second directions is defined to be perpendicular to the first direction. The motor unit is at least partly provided between the user accessing portion of the electrical user interface and the circuit board when viewed in at least one of the plurality of second directions.

A motorized foldable bicycle assembly is foldably collapsible from a ridable elongated, segmented four sectioned frame arrangement. The frame consisting of a front wheel support frame, a front frame, a mid frame and a rear wheel support frame, with a set of electronically controlled motorized front and rear wheels spaced longitudinal alignment, apart one on each end of the four-sectioned elongated frame arrangement. The frame sections are foldable into an unridable configuration wherein the front wheel and a displaced rear wheel are arranged in an aligned, side-by-side adjacent, tandem configuration controllably guided by a steering column supported handlebar motor speed and direction control arrangement. A bicycle-supported tilt sensor actuator is in communication with a control computer and a circuit electronically connected to a bicycle handlebar switch, to permit operator controlled non-riding, self-powered, electric-motor-engaged movement of the tilted, partially foldably collapsed bicycle.

A wireless control system of e-bike includes a control module, a display, a power control module, and an execution module. The control module detects operation signals from a rider of the e-bike. The display transmits the operation signals and displays information of the e-bike, and information to and concerning the rider, and the operation signals. The power control module receives the operation signals and adjusts an auxiliary power according to the operation signals. The execution module adjusts a speed of the e-bike and a status of lights of the e-bike. An e-bike having the wireless control system is also provided.

A vehicle having an electric drivetrain, e.g., an electric motorcycle, includes a handlebar and switchgear(s) mounted on the handlebar. Vibration generation device(s) are provided in the switchgear(s) and transmit vibrations to the handlebar via the switchgear. The vibrations may be sensed by the driver or operator of the vehicle and provide to the driver or operator of the vehicle feedback or other information relating to the vehicle or its operation.

Methods and systems for activating electric vehicles are provided. One method includes, in response to a first command to activate the vehicle, transitioning the vehicle from an inactive state to a wake state where a controller of the vehicle is activated and the vehicle is prevented from being propelled by an electric motor of the vehicle. The method also includes, in response to receiving a second command to activate the vehicle after receiving the first command, transitioning the vehicle from the wake state to a ready state where the vehicle is permitted to be propelled by the electric motor.

There is provided a saddle-ride type vehicle including: a vehicle body; a camera attached to the vehicle body; a recorder main body including a storage medium that stores imaging information captured by the camera; and a cover member detachably attached to the vehicle body as an exterior component and covering at least an access portion to the storage medium in the recorder main body when the cover member is attached.
