AIR INTAKE FOR SNOWMOBILE

An assembly for a snowmobile includes an airbox having a plenum for coupling to a throttle body of an engine and two branches defining openings for air intake. A storage box is mounted between the two branches and defines area for receiving a console. The airbox is part of a hood of the vehicle and includes an opening over a storage box. The disclosure also includes a ribbed bumper mount with a latch assembly for securing the hood.

Absolute acceleration sensor for use within moving vehicles
11407357 · 2022-08-09 · ·

A communication system for a vehicle comprises a mechanism for sensing a braking of the vehicle and a control device for sending a signal to a headlight activation circuit to modulate the vehicle's headlights based upon the braking of the vehicle. In particular, a headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated based upon an application of one or both of a front brake and a rear brake. The headlight activation circuit is able to modulate the headlight between an on position and an off position or modulate the headlight between a high beam position and a low beam position. Consequently, the vehicle is better seen as it approaches likely congestion areas such as intersections and slowing or stopped traffic and attempts to enter traffic.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a front wheel, a handle, a pair of left and right first front lights, and a pair of left and right second front lights. The front wheel is supported by the vehicle body frame. The handle is located farther to the rear than a rotation axis of the front wheel, and is operated by an occupant to turn the front wheel. The pair of left and right first front lights extend linearly in the left-right direction, and are located farther to the rear than a front end of the front wheel and farther to the front than the handle. The pair of left and right second front lights are provided separately from the first front lights.

An electric bicycle includes a frame that has a concave or arc shape. The bicycle also includes two wheels—a front wheel and a rear wheel, with each wheel being connected with an end portion of the frame. A battery-powered electric motor may be connected with the rear wheel to drive the rear wheel and propel the bicycle forward. The battery may be rechargeable. The speed of the bicycle may be controlled by the operator moving a lever with one of their feet. A rotatable knob located on the frame may be used as a cruise control speed setting device. The electric bicycle may be steered by the operator using their feet resting on a pair of foot pegs that are attached to or connected with the front wheel. The electric bicycle may include a regenerative braking system or a friction braking system.

Saddle-type vehicle

A saddle riding vehicle includes a light emitting device (15, 23), an object information acquisition device (17, 26), a control board (20) and an accommodating case (14). The light emitting device (15, 23) radiates light to an outer side of the vehicle, and the object information acquisition device (17, 26) acquires information of an object outside the vehicle. The control board (20), to which the light emitting device (15, 23) is attached, controls the light emitting device. The accommodating case (14) accommodates the light emitting device (20), the object information acquisition device (17, 26), and the control board (20). The object information acquisition device (17, 26) is supported by the control board (20).

HEADLIGHT MODULE AND HEADLIGHT DEVICE

A headlight module includes: a light source for emitting light; a condensing optical element for concentrating the light; and an optical element including an incident surface for receiving the concentrated light, a reflecting surface for reflecting the received light, and an emitting surface for emitting the reflected light. The condensing optical element changes a divergence angle of the light to form a light distribution pattern. The reflected light and light that enters the optical element and is not reflected by the reflecting surface are superposed on a plane including a point located at a focal position of the emitting surface in a direction of an optical axis of the emitting surface and being perpendicular to the optical axis, thereby forming a high luminous intensity region in the light distribution pattern on the plane. The emitting surface has positive refractive power and projects the light distribution pattern formed on the plane.
