Disclosed are a bicycle and a parking control device including a lock, a parking switch button, a posture detection module, an unlocking module, and a control module. The parking switch button is installed on a control module, and configured to generate a trigger signal upon being pressed down; the control module is connected with the parking switch button, the posture detection module, the unlocking module, and the lock; and when the bicycle is unlocked, and the parking switch button is pressed down to generate trigger signal, the control module determines from posture information of the bicycle whether the bicycle satisfies a parking condition, if so, the control module will control the lock to lock the bicycle; when the bicycle is locked, the parking switch button is pressed down to generate trigger signal, the unlocking module generates a unlocking instruction, the control module controls the lock to unlock the bicycle.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with a cable lock assembly for a micromobility transit vehicle. A lock assembly may include a latch, an actuator, and an electric motor. The latch may be movable between a first, locking configuration securing a locking pin in place and a second, unlocking configuration disengaging the latch from the locking pin. The actuator may be coupled to the latch and movable between a plurality of positions, such as first, second, and third positions. The first position may secure the latch in the first configuration. The second position may move the latch to the second configuration. The third position may allow the latch to move between the first configuration and the second configuration. The electric motor may move the actuator between positions. A tolerance between the actuator and the latch may limit a load applied to the actuator by the latch.

The disclosed apparatus may include a pin that is pushed in between two spokes of a wheel to lock the vehicle and removed from between the spokes of the wheel to unlock the vehicle. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a pin holster for securing the pin while the vehicle is unlocked. In some embodiments, a single-sided lock mechanism may be permanently affixed to and/or built in to a vehicle, increasing the ease of use of the single-sided lock by preventing users from misplacing the lock. In one embodiment, a single-sided lock may include a mechanism for preventing accidental re-locking of a lock that has just been unlocked, further improving the user experience. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

A hub lock includes a lock body fixedly mounted on a rear fork and a lock disc connected to the hub, the lock body includes a lock pin movable in a first direction between first and second critical positions, the lock disc has a lock slot and a guiding face capable of opposing the lock pin in the first direction, the lock pin is fitted in the lock slot at the first critical position, the lock pin is slidingly fitted to the guiding face during a movement from the second critical position towards the first critical position, the lock slot has first and second limiting faces opposite each other along a circumferential direction of the hub and both connected to the guiding face, a size of the first limiting face is greater than a size of the second limiting face in a depth direction of the lock slot.

A lock and a bicycle are provided. The lock includes a power source, a driving block, a driven assembly and an elastic transmission. The driving block is connected to the power source in a transmission manner. The driving block is capable of moving between a first position and a second position under drive of the power source. The driven assembly includes a driven block and a latching tongue connected to each other, and the driven assembly is capable of moving between a locking position and an unlocking position. The elastic transmission component is connected between the driving block and the driven block in a transmission manner, and when the driving block is disposed on the second position, the elastic transmission component has a tendency to drive the driven assembly to move to the locking position.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices for locking a bicycle to a station. The lock can be arranged to slide, rotate and pivot. It includes a lock body and locking arm that swings open to allow a portion of a bicycle within a lock area. A lock latch secures the locking arm to the lock body when the lock arm is closed to secure the bike. Electronics within the bike lock allows for automated locking and unlocking as well as sensors that detect theft. The bike lock can communicate with the user via a mobile app.
