A brake module is provided. The brake module includes a first brake lever, a second brake lever, a moveable member, a first cable, a second cable, a first brake unit, a second brake unit, a third cable and a fourth cable. The first cable connects the first brake lever and the moveable member. The second cable connects the second brake lever and the moveable member. The third cable connects the first brake unit and the moveable member. The fourth cable connects the second brake unit and the moveable member. When a lever force is applied to the first cable or the second cable, the third cable applies a first brake force to the first brake unit, the fourth cable applies a second brake force to the second brake unit, and the lever force is smaller than the sum of the first brake force and the second brake force.

A simple and inexpensive power brake system for a three-wheel vehicle with two wheels in the rear. One embodiment of the present invention allows the backing plate of a drum brake to rotate about twenty degrees on the axle of the front wheel that is attached to a brake drum, or a backing plate of a caliper of a disk brake to rotate about twenty degrees on the axle of the front wheel that is attached to a brake disk. Rotation of the backing plate is coupled to actuate the rear brake(s).

A motor vehicle control system including a foot control assembly having a left-side foot control and a right-side foot control, and a hand control assembly having a left-side hand control and a right-side hand control. The left-side foot control is in communication with a left-signal and the right-side foot control is in communication with a right-signal and configured to control brake functions. The left-side hand control includes a clutch twist and the right-side hand control includes a throttle twist. The clutch twist configured to control a clutch when a twisting motion is applied, and the throttle twist is configured to control a throttle when the twisting motion is applied by the user. The foot control assembly and the hand control assembly are configured to be used in combination for operating a motor vehicle.

A motorized scooter is provided for use as an assistive mobility aid. The motorized scooter is easily folded for storage or transport. It comprises a front wheel in rotatably engagement with a steering tube, the front wheel including a hub and spokes extending therefrom, an electric motor housed in the hub and in mechanical communication with a cog, the cog engaging the spokes; a handle bar distally attached to the steering tube; a framework, the framework including a plurality of tubes that are in one or more of pivotal or slidable relation; a seat post slidably mounted on the framework; a seat attached to the seat post; and a pair of rear wheels in rotatable engagement with the framework.

A separate driving assistance apparatus connectable to a two-wheeled vehicle, the two-wheeled vehicle comprising a control block for controlling a driving operation, comprises a detection unit for detecting a traveling environment around the two-wheeled vehicle, and a control unit that outputs a controlling signal to the control block of the two-wheeled vehicle based on a detection result by the detection unit, the controlling signal being for assisting driving operation of the two-wheeled vehicle.

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.

A braking system for vehicles comprising a pilot pump provided with a manual actuation means, the pilot pump being fluidically connected to a hydraulic actuator device in turn operatively connected to a braking device associated with a wheel of said vehicle, wherein the hydraulic actuator device delimits a first and a second actuation chamber fluidically separated by a movable septum along an axial direction X-X, the first actuation chamber containing fluid pressurized by the pilot pump, the second actuation chamber being filled with fluid under pressure and being provided with a delivery duct fluidically connected to said braking device. Advantageously, the hydraulic actuator device comprises a by-pass, offset axially with respect to said delivery duct and fluidically connected with the latter, the movable septum being connected to motor means in order to translate axially, independently of the braking action imposed through the manual actuation means of the pilot pump, the system comprising a processing unit and control operatively connected with the motor means and programmed so as to pass from a condition of standard operation or deactivation of the motor means, in which the movable septum connects the first actuation chamber with the by-pass and with the second actuation chamber, to a braking correction condition in which the motor means are activated to move the movable septum so that the first actuation chamber is fluidically separated from the by-pass and the second actuation chamber. In this way, the second actuation chamber, fluidically connected to the delivery duct, commands the actuation of the braking device, excluding the action imposed by the user through the pressurized fluid in the first actuation chamber.
