Operating device for human-powered vehicle
An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, an operating member, an accommodating structure, and a second electric power source. The operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The accommodating structure is configured to accommodate a first electric power source. The second electric power source is electrically connected so as to supply electricity to a wireless communicator. The second electric power source is separate from the first electric power source.
Seat height adjusting device for a vehicle and vehicle including the same
A device for adjusting a seat height of a personal mobility includes a hollow seat frame extending in a longitudinal direction, a seat support shaft coupled to an upper portion of the seat frame and configured to slide upward and downward, a pedal shaft coupled to a lower portion of the seat frame, a lifting screw shaft extending downward in a state of being fixed to the seat support shaft inside the seat frame, and a rotation screw shaft fastened to the lifting screw shaft inside the seat frame and configured to raise and lower the lifting screw shaft by rotating based on operation of the pedal shaft.
Motorized dropper post assembly
A dropper post assembly includes a lower tube and an upper tube slidably mounted to the lower tube. The assembly includes a motor with a motor shaft that rotates bi-directionally. The assembly also includes a lead screw that is directly or indirectly mounted to the motor shaft such that the lead screw rotates in unison with the motor shaft. The assembly also includes a lead screw nut threaded onto the lead screw and mounted within the upper tube such that the lead screw nut is unable to rotate relative to the upper tube. The assembly further includes a lead screw sheath configured to receive at least a portion of the lead screw that extends past an upper end of the lead screw nut.
Pneumatic only height adjust seat post assembly
A seat post assembly for a bicycle includes a first tube having a first distal end and a second tube having a second distal end. A distance between the first distal end of the first tube and the second distal end of the second tube is at a maximum when the first tube is in a first position relative to the second tube. The seat post assembly also includes a first chamber and a second chamber that are fluidly coupleable. The first chamber is a positive fluid chamber, and the second chamber is a negative fluid chamber. The seat post assembly includes a fluid volume disposed in the first chamber and the second chamber. The fluid volume includes a compressible fluid. The first chamber is configured to act as a spring configured to bias the first tube towards the first position relative to the second tube.
VEHICLE
A vehicle, in particular bicycle, with a frame, a handlebar connected to the frame rotatably about a steering axis, two front wheels and a rear wheel. In order to achieve a particularly pleasant driving behavior, the front wheels are rotatably mounted in front wheel hearings rigidly connected to the frame about front wheel axles, the rear wheel being mounted rotatably about a rear wheel axle in at least one rear wheel bearing, wherein at least one rear wheel bearing is rigidly connected to a swing arm which is pivotably connected to the frame about an articulation axis, the handlebar being coupled to the swing arm in this way that a movement of the handlebar about the steering axis causes an opposite movement of the swing arm about the articulation axis.
MOTORIZED COMPONENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM OF HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A motorized component of a human-powered vehicle includes an electric actuator and controller circuitry configured to control the electric actuator. At least one of the electric actuator and the controller circuitry is configured to be electrically connected via an electric cable to a remotely located power source configured to supply electricity to an assist drive unit configured to assist pedaling. The motorized component is other than a rear derailleur.
Control apparatus, control system, and electric component for human-powered vehicle
A control apparatus for a human-powered vehicle comprises a first controller. The first controller is configured to establish, in response to a user input, a wireless communication channel between a first wireless communicator of a first communication device and a second wireless communicator of a second communication device via a wired communication channel which is established between the first communication device and the second communication device through an electric cable and a first communication port configured to be connected to the electric cable.
TELESCOPIC SEATPOST
A telescopic bicycle seatpost (10, 10′) for allowing a modification, while moving, of the height of a saddle (17) with respect to the frame of a bicycle as a function of pedaling needs, comprising a pair of telescopically-coupled tubular elements defined by a male tubular element (14, 14′) inserted into a seat tube of the bicycle frame, and by a female tubular element (15, 15′) coaxial to said male tubular element, a seatpost lock or head (16) arranged at one end of the female tubular element (15, 15′) on the opposite side with respect to that of coupling to the male tubular element (14, 14′), the seatpost comprising mechanical means for enabling/disabling an axial sliding movement of the female tubular element with respect to the male tubular element arranged on the seatpost itself and cooperating with shape and force coupling with means for locking in place the female tubular element (15, 15′) in order to define two or more height configurations of the saddle with respect to the seat tube of the frame.
Human-powered vehicle control device
A control device including an electronic controller for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control an adjusting device that is configured to adjust a seat height of the human-powered vehicle upon determining the human-powered vehicle is being stopped while traveling uphill.
