A three wheeled velocipede for three wheeled transport of a driver and a passenger includes a rear frame. A rear wheel is rotationally coupled to the rear frame. A drive train is coupled to the rear frame and operationally coupled to the rear wheel. The drive train is configured to transfer pedal motion imparted by a driver to the rear wheel. A first seat, positioned to seat the driver, is coupled to the rear frame. A front frame is pivotally coupled to a front end of the rear frame. A second seat is couplable to the front frame. The second seat is positionable to seat a passenger. Each of a pair of front wheels is rotationally coupled to a respective opposing side of the front frame.

Brake calipers and rotors for bicycles are described herein. An example brake caliper includes an outboard caliper portion to be disposed inboard of a frame of the bicycle. The outboard caliper portion includes an outboard caliper body and an outboard brake pad that is fixed relative to the outboard caliper body. The brake caliper also includes an inboard caliper portion coupled to the outboard caliper body. The inboard caliper portion is disposed inboard of the outboard caliper portion when the brake caliper is coupled to the bicycle. The inboard caliper portion includes an inboard caliper body and an inboard brake pad that is movable relative to the inboard caliper body.

The present disclosure relates to the positioning of a disc brake caliper mounted to a rigid bicycle fork. In one aspect, the disc brake caliper is attached to a portion in front of the fork and the front wheel axle, hence exposing the disc brake caliper to the maximum cooling potential of the airflow. Further, the disc brake caliper is positioned roughly horizontally in-line with the wheel axle to provide aerodynamic benefits for the trailing front wheel axle.

A bicycle braking and parking device includes a casing, two brake pads, a locking pin, and an electromagnetic driver. The casing has an accommodation space and two pistons located at two opposite sides of the accommodation space. The accommodation space can accommodate part of a brake disk. The brake pads are located at the accommodation space and located between the pistons. The pistons can push the brake pads, and the brake pads can clamp the brake disk. The locking pin is movably disposed on the casing. The electromagnetic driver can force the locking pin to move between a released position and a locked position. when the locking pin is in the released position, the locking pin is separated from the brake disk. When the locking pin is in the locked position, the locking pin is inserted into the brake disk to limit a motion of the brake disk.

A motorcycle includes: a front wheel brake that brakes a front wheel that is supported by a front fork; a rear wheel brake; a control unit that controls an ABS modulator connected to the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake on the basis of front wheel speed and rear wheel speed; and a front wheel rise detection unit that detects whether the front wheel is likely to rise from a road surface, wherein when the front wheel rise detection unit detects that the front wheel is likely to rise, the control unit operates the front wheel brake through the ABS modulator.
