The present invention relates to an electric motorcycle realized so that it can be subjected to a simple maintenance process. Such motorcycle is realized so that all the components at major risk of failure or deterioration are grouped in an unique compact and easily removable block called “block of electric components”. Moreover, the structure of the same motorcycle is conceived so that the extraction of said “block of electric components”, even if it is bulky and heavy, results simple and that it is also reduced at minimum the risk that such operation occurs in an incorrect way, or that it can provide other kinds of damage. All this aims at making the motorcycle maintenance and the restoration of its full function possible also at not specialized sites.

Personal transportation devices having at least first and second foot platform units that are each fore-aft self-balancing. Various connector structures are disclosed that permit movement and/or positioning of the foot platform units at difference distances or spacings from one another. The spacing may be releaseably set or free moving or other. The connecting structure may maintain a parallel relationship between the two foot platform units, in the line of direction of travel of the device. The foot platform units may move laterally or longitudinally or both, depending on the embodiment, from one another.

A straddled vehicle including a frame structure having a frame body, a rear arm swingably supported by the frame structure, a driving wheel rotatably supported by the rear arm, a drive motor supported by the frame structure or the rear arm, and an electric power generation unit supported by the frame body but not by the rear arm. The electric power generation unit includes: an electric power generation engine arranged with an offset toward a first direction from a center of the straddled vehicle with respect to a left-right direction, not overlapping the drive motor in a side view; and an electric power generator further in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, than the electric power generation engine, overlapping the electric power generation engine, but not overlapping the drive motor, in the side view. The electric power generator is driven by the electric power generation engine to generate electric power.

Tyre, in particular cycle tyre, with a device for generating rotation-dependent signals, a method for producing said tyre and a system for controlling a cycle drive with such a tyre. Tyre, in particular cycle tyre, with a device for generating rotation-dependent signals, in which the device is arranged in the tyre (1, 3) or is connected to the tyre and has a signal-generating element (6, 14), which is held in a retaining element connected positively or non-positively to the tyre body, wherein the receiving element is arranged substantially on the outside of strengthening elements or reinforcing elements of the tyre and the signal-generating element is held in the retaining element in such a way that the signal-generating element forms part of the outer surface of the tyre or protrudes beyond the outer surface of the tyre.

The present invention refers to an electric vehicle. As compared with the solution in prior art which is that assembling the finished product of wheel hub motor with the casing, the inventor of present invention creatively dismantles the structure of the original finished product of wheel hub motor with discarding at least one hub cover. Such solution simplifies the structures and reduces the weights of the wheel hub motor and the electric vehicle, moreover, it can reduce the gap between the casing and the wheel hub motor and thus decrease the overall thickness of the electric vehicle, especially decrease the thickness of the electric unicycle for easy to carry.

A pedal connection mechanism includes a left and a right pedal, and a transverse connecting member. The first cylindrical shaft is provided along the bottom of the left pedal. The left side of the top wall of the transverse connecting member is provided with the first support member. The second cylindrical shaft is provided along the bottom of the right pedal. The right side of the top wall of the transverse connecting member is provided with the second support member. The present invention further provides an electric balancing vehicle using this pedal connection mechanism. The left pedal and the right pedal are not connected with each other through an intermediate shaft. Their motion statuses are controlled respectively by the left foot and the right foot independently. The transverse connecting member shares the weight of a human body. The force distributes evenly. The balancing vehicle is flexible and durable.
