A device for a gear shift system for a vehicle, the gear shift system comprising a gear shift member, the device comprises a device member, and a member connector configured to connect to the gear shift member and thereby connect the device to the gear shift system so that, in use, one of the device member and the gear shift member is beneath a rider's foot to provide a first member, and the other of the device member and the gear shift member is above the rider's foot to provide a second member, wherein in use downwards movement of the first member effects a first gear shift and in use upwards movement of the second member effects a second gear shift.

There is provided a vehicle shift control device. A shift mechanism is configured to shift and transmit rotation of a crankshaft extending in a width direction of a vehicle to a driving wheel. A shift pedal is configured to receive a shifting operation for the shift mechanism. A shift detection mechanism is configured to detect a shift instructed via the shift pedal. A shift actuator is configured to perform a shift operation of the shift mechanism, in response to a detection content of the shift detection mechanism. The shift detection mechanism includes a detection unit configured to rotate in response to the shifting operation of the shift pedal and a sensor configured to detect rotation of the detection unit. A rotary shaft of the detection unit and a rotary shaft of the sensor are arranged at different positions, as seen from a side.

A transportation device that has two or more wheel axes, auto-balance based drive control, and a rider platform which adjusts its auto-balancing neutral pitch to follow the incline of the riding surface based on incline data from sensors located on a non-pivoting part of the device. Possible forms of the transportation device include a scooter, a skateboard-like device, and a device with continuous tracks.

A personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, includes at least one battery and motor for powering at least one driven wheel. The vehicle also includes a braking assembly configured to isolate the motor from the at least one driven wheel such that power is terminated from the motor to the at least one wheel in response to a user engaging a braking assembly of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a switch or position sensor that interacts with the braking assembly to initiate the isolation of the motor from the at least one driven wheel and the switch or position sensor preferably is inaccessible to the foot of the user.

A safe two-wheeled self-balancing vehicle includes two power wheels, a motion sensor, a control circuit, a chassis structure, a direction control input device, and a power source. The power wheels are installed at two sides of the chassis structure. The motion sensor is connected to the control circuit and fixed to the chassis structure opposite thereto. The direction control input device is connected to the control circuit. The control circuit drives the power wheels. A protection wheel support is disposed at a front side or both the front side and a rear side of the chassis structure. A floating protection wheel is installed at a front end of the protection wheel support. The protection wheel support is connected with the chassis structure or a structure of the protection wheel support, which enables the floating protection wheel to move freely in a vertical direction with respect to the chassis structure.
