OFF-ROAD VEHICLE
Embodiments include an off-road vehicle with a straddle seat, a plurality of ground engaging members, a prime mover and a frame having a removable frame portion overlying the prime mover, wherein at least a portion of the engine extends above at least a portion of the removable frame portion, and wherein at least a portion of the straddle seat extends over the removable frame portion and the prime mover.
Saddled vehicle
Provided is a saddled vehicle capable of optimizing distribution of a braking force between front and rear wheels at the time of deceleration during linear traveling, before entering a corner, and in a similar situation. A saddled vehicle (1) includes: a front wheel braking component (32) that applies a braking force to a front wheel (WF); and a rear wheel braking component (34) that applies a braking force to a rear wheel (WR), and is configured to operate the front wheel braking component (32) and the rear wheel braking component (34) in an interlocking manner in response to an operation of an operating element (5) as a single operating element. In response to the operation of the operating element (5), the front wheel braking component (32) first starts operating, and thereafter, in response to a braking condition of the front wheel braking component (32) satisfying a first condition, the rear wheel braking component (34) starts operating. In response to satisfaction of the first condition, the braking force of the rear wheel braking component (34) is increased while the braking force of the front wheel braking component (32) is maintained at a first front-wheel-braking force (P1).

All-terrain vehicle
An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, wheels, a vehicle cover, a power supply system a saddle assembly, a brake system, a drive assembly and a suspension system. The all-terrain vehicle is sized for children to ride, with numerous disclosed modifications in accordance with its size and riders. For instance, the saddle assembly includes a locking hook accessible from the rear of the vehicle, and in the locked state holds the main power supply down into its compartment. The brake system uses a pawl for two handed setting of the parking brake. The instrument assembly allows adjustment of the display angle of the display screen. The charger cover uses a damping block to cause the cover to hover at a selected position. The all-terrain vehicle can meet the use needs and safety requirements of all-terrain vehicles for kids, and can ensure the safety of drivers.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM AND APPARATUS
The present invention is directed towards a disk braking system for a bicycle having a rear disk coupled to a rear wheel. A rear brake caliper is coupled to a rear brake lever and the rear brake caliper is also coupled to a hydraulic actuator which has a piston that slides within a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid and hydraulic tubing coupled to the cylinder and a front brake. When the rear wheel and rear disk are rotating, the rear brake caliper can be actuated which causes compresses rear brake caliper against the rear disk to slow the rotation of the rear wheel. The movement of the rear brake caliper can actuate the hydraulic actuator which causes hydraulic fluid to flow through the hydraulic tubing to actuate a front brake.
