The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

An apparatus and a method for bicycle anti-theft and personalized adjustment are provided. When a biometric feature of a user matches a preset biological feature, a brake lever is fixed at a preset position to lock the bicycle, and a variable structure is driven to make personalized adjustments according to bicycle adjustment parameters corresponding to the biometric feature of the user.

On a motorized vehicle with handlebars and handlebar mounted levers, a motorcycle lever retention system includes a button operatively connected to and capable of toggling a rocker switch, a clutch or brake lever having a retracted position and an extended, biased position, a clutch or brake operatively connected to the clutch or brake lever such that the clutch is disengaged or the brake is engaged when the clutch or brake lever is moved into the retracted position, and a mechanism operatively attached to the rocker switch and configured such that when the button is pressed, the rocker switch is toggled causing the mechanism to prevent the clutch from being engaged or the brake from being disengaged and the clutch or brake lever from moving back into the extended, biased position until the button is pressed again.

An object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-type vehicle which can switch between the parking brake state and the neutral state using a clutch actuator configured to operate the clutch and thus lower the manufacturing cost. According to the present disclosure, there is provided a saddle-type vehicle which can be driven by a driver sitting on a seat and steering a bar handle. The saddle-type vehicle can comprise a clutch arranged on a power transmitting path from a driving source to a wheel (or wheels) configured to selectively transmit a driving power of the driving source to the wheel and selectively cut off the transmission of driving power of the driving source; a transmission arranged on the power transmitting path configured to shift gears in accordance with the travelling state of the vehicle; and a clutch actuator comprising an electrically operated actuator configured to actuate the clutch, wherein the clutch can be switched by the clutch actuator between a parking brake state, in which the power transmission between the driving source and the driving wheel is performed under a stopped state of the driving source, and a neutral state, in which the power transmission between the driving source and the driving wheel is cut off.

The subject of this disclosure is a fully armored anti-cut protective brake line system with an anti-theft hand brake restraint for all bicycles with hand brakes. The hand brake restraint cannot operate effectively without the armored brake lines as well as having armored brake lines are of no reason without the hand brake restraint. This invention is a bicycle anti-theft deterrent.

A straddle-type vehicle includes a drive unit used for driving a rear wheel of the straddle-type vehicle, wherein a discharge port that discharges oil in the drive unit is installed on a lower section of the drive unit, and a guide that guides oil to an outside in a vehicle width direction is installed in a vicinity of a lower section of the discharge port.
