A folding vehicle is adjustable between an unfolded position and a folded position. In the unfolded position, the wheels of the vehicle are in a leading and trailing relationship. In the folded position, the components of the folding vehicle have a minimal footprint allowing for compact storage. In the folded position, the wheels may be in a side-by-side relationship with the majority of the vehicle components positioned between the wheels.

A scooter includes a frame which has a footboard and supports a rear wheel, a steering column provided with a front wheel pivotably mounted on the frame, and a motor provided with a drive shaft coupled to the rear wheel via a transmission system. The transmission system includes a rear transverse shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion rotatably coupled to the rear wheel; —a gear system having a sprocket coupled rotatably to the first end portion and in meshing engagement with a toothed gear rotatably coupled to the drive shaft; and—a rear structure attached to the frame, supporting the gear system and the rear transverse shaft, and extending laterally along one side only—right or left—of the rear wheel, such that the second end portion extends from the rear structure to support the rear wheel in a cantilevered fashion.

A motorcycle front suspension includes a fork having a steering member mechanically connected or adapted to be connected to a handlebar of a motorcycle, and an oscillating arm having a first end and a second end. The motorcycle front suspension also includes a rod having a first end, pivotally joined to the steering member, and having a second end pivotally joined to the first end of the oscillating arm, and a shock absorber group, including a spring and a damper, the shock absorber group extending from an attachment head, mechanically connected to the steering member, to an attachment foot, pivotally joined to the second end of the oscillating arm.

A traveling vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left swing part, a right swing part, and an interlocking link mechanism. The left swing part and the right swing part are supported on the vehicle body so as to be swingable in the up-down direction, respectively. A left support part supporting a left front wheel is provided on a front part of the left swing part so as to be rotatable about a left steering shaft. A right support part supporting a right front wheel is provided at a front part of the right swing part so as to be rotatable about a right steering shaft. The interlocking link mechanism rotates one of the left support part and the right support part in conjunction with the other. The interlocking link mechanism is provided between the left support part and the right support part.

A drivetrain system for a reverse trike configured to transmit power from the motor to the rear wheel includes a first and a second drive chain being the only two drive chains utilized. A jackshaft has at one end a first universal joint connected to a first jackshaft sprocket and at an opposite end has a second universal joint connected to a second jackshaft sprocket. The first drive chain is connected between the motor output sprocket and the first jackshaft sprocket. The second drive chain is connected between the second jackshaft sprocket and the rear wheel drive sprocket. The first jackshaft sprocket is rotatably attached to the frame and configured to be movable away from and towards the motor output sprocket. The second jackshaft sprocket is rotatably attached to the frame and configured to be movable away from and towards the rear wheel drive sprocket.

A bicycle comprising a frame; a handlebar assembly attached to an upper steering tube of the frame in such a way that at least the relative rotation between the two with respect to an upper axis is allowed, but the relative displacements between both in the directions perpendicular to the upper axis are restricted; a fork attached to a lower steering tube of the frame so that it has the same degrees of freedom relative to the lower axis between the fork and the lower steering tube as the degrees of freedom relative to the upper axis between the handlebar assembly and the upper steering tube; and a means for rotation transmission for transmitting at least partially a rotation of the handlebar assembly with respect to the upper tube into a rotation of the fork with respect to the lower steering tube.

The invention relates to a chassis, suitable for use in electric vehicles, characterized in that it comprises: a substantially planar loading bed, suitable for receiving a load on top of same, which is located between at least two front wheels and at least one rear wheel of an electric vehicle; wherein said loading bed comprises a channel the chassis also comprises a central shaft housed in said channel; wherein the loading bed is connected so as to pivot relative to said central shaft; wherein the loading bed comprises a plurality of battery housings distributed symmetrically; and the chassis comprises a rear traction and steering assembly and a front suspension and inclination assembly. The invention likewise relates to an electric vehicle comprising said chassis.

A scooter includes a frame which has a footboard and supports a rear wheel, a steering column provided with a front wheel pivotably mounted on the frame, and a motor provided with a drive shaft coupled to the rear wheel via a transmission system. The transmission system includes a rear transverse shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion rotatably coupled to the rear wheel; —a gear system having a sprocket coupled rotatably to the first end portion and in meshing engagement with a toothed gear rotatably coupled to the drive shaft; and —a rear structure attached to the frame, supporting the gear system and the rear transverse shaft, and extending laterally along one side only—right or left—of the rear wheel, such that the second end portion extends from the rear structure to support the rear wheel in a cantilevered fashion.

The invention relates to a propulsion system (1) for a pedal vehicle. The propulsion system (1) comprises a power unit (1) allowing the power originating from a bottom-bracket axle (2) to be combined with the power from two motors (40, 50), a first deformable transmission element (23) allowing the transmission of power to the rear wheel (73) and a casing assembly (19) enclosing particularly the first deformable transmission element (23) and the power unit (1), with the exception of part of the bottom-bracket axle (2).

The saddle-riding motor vehicle (1; 107; 207) comprises a rear driving wheel (5; 105; 205) and a front steered wheel (7; 107; 207). The front steered wheel (7; 107; 207X, 207Y) is connected to a rotatable arm (9; 109; 209X, 209Y) provided with a rotary motion about a steering axis (A-A). A wheel support (37; 137) is connected to the rotatable arm (9; 109; 209) with the interposition of a suspension (17; 117; 217X, 217Y) comprising a shock absorber (22; 122). The suspension (17; 117) comprises a Watt four-bar linkage.
