Pole propelled velocipede
A two wheel tandem vehicle is propelled by hand-grasped poles. A front wheel on a forward member and a rear wheel on a rearward member align along a longitudinal axis. The forward member pivots about a substantially vertical steering axis. A saddle and footholds support the rider and together with an accessory contact means allow the rider to balance and steer the device. The rider's hands do not contact the vehicle but are used to propel the vehicle with the poles.
VEHICLE BODY BEHAVIOR CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE BODY
Provided is a vehicle body behavior control device and a method of controlling behavior of a vehicle body which can reduce unstable behavior of the vehicle body. A vehicle body behavior control device incorporated into a vehicle body having a plurality of wheels includes: a brake mechanism which controls behavior of the wheels; and a control part which controls an interlocking brake operation in which a braking force is applied to the plurality of wheels using the brake mechanism when an operation for applying braking to any one of the wheels is performed based on a gradient value of a road surface on which the vehicle body travels.

Braking device for a personal mobility vehicle
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.

ADJUSTABLE PEDAL
An adjustable motorcycle pedal includes a member attached to the motorcycle and a peg attached to the member. The peg is moveable between a first position in which the peg extends from the member in a first direction and is anchored to the member in a manner suitable for a rider's foot to rest on the peg, and a second position in which the peg extends from the member in a second direction and is moveable to adjust the height of the peg relative to the member when the peg is returned to the first position.
Sensor support structure and motorcycle
There is provided a sensor support structure. A bracket is fixed to a vehicle body frame comprised of a plurality of frame members. A sensor is attached to a first attachment surface of the bracket. A component is attached to a second attachment surface of the bracket. The sensor is disposed in a space surrounded by the plurality of frame members of the vehicle body frame.
