Seat post head assembly
A seat post head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing coupled to a seat post, the housing including a cylindrical bore, and a first and second threaded chamber. A rotatable core is inserted into and rotates within the cylindrical bore, the rotatable core including a seat rail clamp assembly to fixedly clamp a set of seat rails and provide independent adjustment of a fore-aft location of the seat without affecting a pitch of the seat. The assembly additionally includes a first threaded member that threads into the first threaded chamber, contacts the rotatable core, and adjusts the pitch of the seat without affecting the fore-aft location of the seat. The assembly also includes a second threaded member that threads into the second threaded chamber, contacts a different portion of the rotatable core, and provides a physical hard stop against a change in the pitch.
Bicycle Seats
A seat for a pedal-powered vehicle includes a support frame, a left seat element, a right seat element, and a nose. The left and right seat elements and the nose are implemented as separate components supported by the support frame. The two seat elements support a seated rider's weight while the nose does not. The seat elements and the nose form a gap below the seated rider's perineum area. The seat elements pivot forwards and backwards when the seated rider is pedaling. The seat elements counter-pivot when the seated rider is pedaling. Each seat element includes a concave surface that supports the seated rider.
VEHICLE AND VEHICLE COMPONENTS
A position adjusting system for use in a vehicle includes a seat for supporting a rider, a rear wheel and a steerable front wheel, a steering arrangement including a handle bar for allowing the rider to control the steerable wheel, and a hub for interconnecting the components of the wheeled vehicle. The steerable wheel is steerable about at least two axes. The position adjusting system includes an adjustable seat support movably connected to the hub, an adjustable handle bar support movably connected to the hub, and a releasable position locking system configured to lock the position of the components of the vehicle relative to the hub. The hub includes a first portion and second portion, wherein the first and second portions are moveably connected to one another, such as by pivoting, sliding, or a combination of pivoting and sliding.
MOBILE BODY
A mobile body (1A) includes: a base body (3) tiltably assembled to a movement operation section (2) that can move on a floor surface; an occupant riding section 6 installed to the base body (3) by a connection mechanism (4); an auxiliary ground contact section 7 connected to the occupant riding section (6) and in contact with the floor surface in a slidable or rollable manner when a tilt amount of the occupant riding section (6) with respect to the floor surface increases to a predetermined amount; and a control device (80) which controls the movement of the movement operation section (2) to stabilize the attitude of the mobile body (1A). The connection mechanism (4) elastically rocks the occupant riding section (6) with respect to the base body (3) according to the movement of the center of gravity of a user P riding on the occupant riding section (6).
Seat Bench Arrangement for a Motorcycle
A seat bench arrangement for a motorcycle is provided, with a tank bearing which is designed for connecting a tank bladder to a vehicle structure, and a seat bench for receiving a motorcyclist. The seat bench is connected to the tank bearing such that the tank bearing forms a bearing for supporting the seat bench.

MODULAR BICYCLE DESIGNS
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a configurable electric micro-mobility vehicle that can be configured with modular accessories. The micro-mobility vehicle is configurable by including a structure that is adapted to receive and secure one or more of the modular accessories within a short amount of time. The micro-mobility vehicle may include a battery compartment for receiving a modular battery pack and securing the battery pack to an electrical connector of the micro-mobility vehicle. The battery compartment may be physically coupled to a seat tube of the micro-mobility vehicle. The battery compartment may include an opening at one end of the battery compartment for inserting and removing a battery pack.
VARIABLE WHEELED VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a main body configured to allow a user to ride on the main body, two driving wheels rotatably coupled to the main body, and a controlling wheel part rotatably coupled to the main body to control a direction of the vehicle in which the main body travels at a specific drive velocity by making contact with a ground surface to rotate about a vertical direction in a three-wheel mode. The main body includes a seat part formed to receive the user in a seated position, a steering part configured to obtain an inclination degree to perform steering based on the inclination degree in which the user seated on the seat part is inclined, in the three-wheel mode, and a post configured to connect the steering part with the seat part.
Seating apparatus
A seating apparatus may include a seating unit and a pair of hollow supporting structure. In one embodiment, the hollow supporting structure is bowl-shaped springs which can be disposed underneath a seating unit to receive and support the buttocks of the user. In another embodiment, the seating unit can include a regular seat, a stool, a bicycle seat, and even a horse saddle. More specifically, the buttocks of the user can be received in a concave surface of each bowl-shaped spring so a complete support over a large area is provided to the user's buttocks and pubic bone to eliminate the pressure therefrom. Furthermore, the springs can also be used as cushions to absorb impact on the user's lower body portion. In another aspect, the hollow supporting structure is a pair of rings, and in a further aspect, the hollow supporting structure is a pair of bowl-shaped units.
