Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide an improved mobility vehicle are disclosed. An example vehicle includes a sensor positioned with respect to a seat to detect pressure by a user with respect to the sensor and to generate a signal corresponding to the pressure; and a processor to convert the signal into a control command for a powertrain to move the vehicle.

A bicycle display is provided that allows the user to recognize the selected operation mode. The bicycle display includes a display screen configured to display an output state of a motor that assists in propelling of a bicycle. The display screen is configured to display an output state of the motor in a first color in a state where the motor is controlled in a first operating mode, and configured to display an output state of the motor in a second color which is different from the first color in a state where the motor is controlled in a second operating mode which is different from the first operating mode.

A dual powered riding lawn mower including a riding mower. The riding mower includes a mowing deck having at least one mowing blade therein. The mower blade is connected to a blade shaft. The blade shaft is connected to a clutch and gear box. The gear box will enable a user to switch between manual power and a battery powered motor. The manual power will include a set of pedals that will spin the blade shaft and propel the riding lawn mower forward. When the electric motor is engaged the pedals are used to charge the battery via an alternator connected to the gear box.

A cart may include a driving wheel, a motor configured to rotate the driving wheel, a motor drive circuit configured to drive the motor, a motor brake circuit configured to electrically brake the motor, a control device configured to control the motor via the motor drive circuit and the motor brake circuit so that a travelling speed of the cart becomes equal to or lower than an upper limit travelling speed, and a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the motor brake circuit. The control device may be configured to change the upper limit travelling speed to a second upper limit travelling speed lower than the first upper limit travelling speed when the upper limit travelling speed is a first upper limit travelling speed and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a first predetermined temperature.

A self-propelled machine includes a drive motor, a handle having two grips, an electromechanical converting device, and a speed adjusting element configured to move relative to the handle to adjust a rotational speed of the drive motor and configured to be operated by a user when the user holds one of the two grips with a single hand. The speed adjusting element is disposed between the two grips. The electromechanical converting device is configured to convert a positional change of the speed adjusting element into an electrical signal for adjusting the rotational speed of the drive motor. The speed adjusting element is movable between a first position and a second position. The rotational speed of the drive motor when the speed adjusting element is in the first position is greater than the rotational speed of the drive motor when the speed adjusting element is in the second position.
