Bike lock
The disclosure discloses a bike lock used to lock the bike to prevent bike theft. A first shaft and a second shaft of the bike lock are connected to the handlebar and the front wheel of the bike, respectively. When the bike lock is in a locking mode, the first shaft is not linked to move with the second shaft, preventing the user from controlling the front wheel by the handle effectively. When the bike lock is in an unlocking mode, the first shaft is linked to move with the second shaft. The first shaft can be linked to move with the second shaft by two different linkage mechanisms. One is to link the first shaft with the second shaft with a pin; the other is to firmly engage an engaging structure of one of the shafts to another.
Handle lock structure for saddled vehicle
An electric handle lock structure for a saddled vehicle which can provide a compact arrangement around a handle to thereby achieve miniaturization of a vehicle body front portion. A handle lock structure for a saddled vehicle includes: a handle steering shaft operated by a handle; a front wheel steering shaft disposed to steer a front wheel in front of the handle steering shaft; a top bridge which is fastened to an upper end of the handle steering shaft and to which the handle is fixed; and an electric handle lock device that is electrically operated and is provided between the handle steering shaft and the front wheel steering shaft in the proximity of the handle, and the electric handle lock device is disposed so that at least part thereof overlaps below the top bridge in a plan view.

SCOOTER STEERING LOCK
An improved locking mechanism for securing a scooter or other vehicle. The locking mechanism can secure a wheel of the scooter in a left or right steering position. The locking mechanism can be manually actuated by the user, such as by a foot or hand of the user. Once the wheel is secured in place, the scooter may be difficult to ride without unlocking. The locking mechanism can be unlocked through a wireless connection with a remote control (e.g. a phone).

DEVICE FOR PASSIVE CONTROL OF STEERING MECHANISMS
A device for preventing the front wheel of a bicycle from turning, comprising a clamp, a lever, and a receiver. The clamp is configured to be removably coupled with the steer tube of a bicycle, and is adjustable. The adjustable clamp is configured to be secured tightly around the steer tube to prevent rotation of the front wheel of the bicycle and to prevent rotation of the clamp around the steer tube. The lever is coupled with the clamp and is rotatable from vertical, through horizontal, to the proper angle to meet the receiver, which is disposed on a cross bar or down tube of a bicycle. The lever includes a knob and the receiver is configured to receive and slightly contract around the knob, temporarily coupling the steer tube and the cross bar or down tube, locking the wheel in its position when the lever is engaged.

Handlebar locking mechanism, handlebar locking device, and moving body
The present invention provides a handlebar locking mechanism and a handlebar locking device, each of which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) which makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar locking device (20) includes an engagement hole (11c) made in a steering column (11a), a lock pin (31) which locks a handlebar (5) in a case where a pin tip part (31a) of the lock pin (31) is engaged with the engagement hole (11c), and a lock pin drive mechanism which (i) moves, in a case where the handlebar (5) is to be locked, the lock pin (31) so that the pin tip part (31a) is engaged with the engagement hole (11c) and (ii) moves, in a case where the handlebar (5) is to be unlocked, the lock pin (31) so that the pin tip part (31a) is removed from the engagement hole (11c). The engagement hole (11c), the lock pin (31), and the lock pin drive mechanism being contained and provided in a frame (2) of a bicycle (1) so as to be not viewable from outside of the bicycle (1).

Handlebar lock system
The present invention provides a handlebar lock system which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) includes a handlebar locking device which makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar lock system includes: a handlebar locking device (20); and a user interface (8) which notifies a user of an operation state of the handlebar locking device (20), which operation state includes at least a lock state of the handlebar (5). The handlebar locking device (20) is provided in a frame of a bicycle so as to be not viewable from outside of the bicycle. The control section (100) identifies the operation state, and then outputs, via a communication section (101), information indicative of the operation state thus identified. A control section (8a) of the user interface (8) receives, from the handlebar locking device (20), the information indicative of the operation state. According to the information thus received, the control section (8a) notifies the user of operation information on the handlebar locking device (20).
