A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a lean mechanism, and a lean brake mechanism. The lean mechanism causes the left front wheel and the right front wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The lean brake mechanism brakes a leaning operation of the lean mechanism. The lean brake mechanism includes a brake caliper and a brake disc. The brake caliper is attached to the lean mechanism and has a brake pad. The brake disc is attached to the lower arm of the upper arm and the lower arm that is farther from the brake pad in the front view, has a contact portion that generates braking force by being pressed by the brake pad.

A vehicle for transporting persons and/or goods, having at least one frame which includes of at least one frame element which extends substantially parallel or obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, at least one wheel carrier which can be detachably secured to the frame element and which, together with the frame element, forms a receiving region between the wheel carrier and the frame element. The wheel carrier and the frame element are spaced apart from one another at least in sections so as to form a cavity. The frame also includes at least one wheel unit which includes a wheel and can be fixed or is fixed in a rotatably mounted manner at least in sections in the receiving region between the wheel carrier and the frame element.

A sensor wheel for a human-powered vehicle comprises a wheel body and an attachment part. The wheel body is configured to be rotatable relative to a vehicle body of the human-powered vehicle about a rotational axis along with a rotational hub of the human-powered vehicle. The wheel body includes a plurality of openings spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction with respect to the rotational axis. The attachment part is configured to be operatively coupled to the rotational hub. At least one opening of the plurality of openings has a radial length defined radially with respect to the rotational axis. The radial length is equal to or larger than 8 mm.

A wheel hub (10) comprises a main body (12) and a drive axle arrangement (14) extending through the main body (12). The main body (12) is rotatable about the drive axle arrangement (14). The wheel hub (10) further includes a transmission assembly comprising first and second transmission arrangements (44, 46). The first transmission arrangement (44) is provided on the drive axle arrangement (14), and the second transmission arrangement (46) is provided on the main body (12). The first transmission arrangement (44) is cooperable with the second transmission arrangement (46) to transmit a driving force from the drive axle arrangement (14) to the main body (12). The drive axle arrangement (14) comprises an axle portion (34) and a sprocket carrier (42). The axle portion (34) extends through the main body (12), and the sprocket carrier (42) is configured to carry at least one sprocket.

A wheel module for a vehicle is disclosed including a wheel, said wheel having a wheel rim; a wheel axle, the wheel rim being rotatably mounted on said wheel axle; and a braking device for braking the wheel, said braking device comprising a brake disc and a brake pad. The brake disc and the brake pad being mutually contactable in order to transmit a braking force F1 to the wheel rim, wherein the brake disc can be axially moved to contact the brake pad and the brake pad remains axially fixed.

A brake unit for a vehicle is disclosed, including a housing, a hydraulic unit, a braking element unit, wherein the braking element unit forms or supports a braking partner in a braking device for the vehicle. The housing, the hydraulic unit and/or the braking element unit define a main axis, wherein the hydraulic unit moves the braking element unit in an axial direction relative to the housing, in order to generate a braking force, and having a guide unit.
