A motorcycle, or saddle type vehicle, is disclosed that may have at least one seat and at least two wheels, at least one hub electric motor. A large dry storage compartment may be positioned between the rider and steering mount. A rechargeable battery and battery management system may be located below the storage compartment in a battery housing, where the battery housing may be a structural component of the chassis. A rear electronics housing may be attached to and located behind the battery housing, and may contain major electrical components such as electric motor controller and contactors. Two structural members, or frame side rails, may form sides of the storage compartment and extend between the electronics housing and steering mount. The electronics housing may also connect to the battery housing such that the battery housing reinforces and strengthens the chassis, or structural frame. A secondary storage compartment may be located under the seat. Additionally, the storage compartments may have electronic locking mechanisms that are activated via a wireless connection to a remote electronic device. The rear suspension may include a swingarm on one side of the vehicle.

A saddle-type vehicle is equipped with a rearview mirror. The rearview mirror includes a stay extending from a vehicle body outward in a vehicle width direction, and a housing connected to an extending end portion of the stay and extending outward in the vehicle width direction, the housing including a mirror body. The housing further includes an upper wall and a lower wall which are arranged at positions overlapping each other in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The upper wall has an upper outer surface portion whose length in a front-rear direction is shorter than the length of a lower outer surface portion of the lower wall in the front-rear direction, as viewed in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the vehicle width direction.

A motorcycle includes, in a body front portion: a headlight that includes a headlight case and a lens coupled to a front end of the headlight case; and a headlight cowl that covers a periphery of the headlight. The lens includes a cylindrically-shaped peripheral wall portion coupled to the headlight case. A cylindrically-shaped cover member gradually decreasing in diameter toward the rear of the vehicle is placed between the headlight and the headlight cowl. The cover member covers at least the outside of the peripheral wall portion of the lens.

A vehicle lamp is provided on a vehicle capable of traveling around a corner by inclining a vehicle body in a turning direction. The vehicle lamp includes a headlamp mounted on a front portion of the vehicle, and a combination lamp disposed on a vehicle body cover in a region adjacent to the headlamp so as to be visible from the front of the vehicle. The combination lamp includes a plurality of light emitting segments. Depending on arrangement locations, the light emitting segments differ in at least one of the shape of, the size of, the color of, and a distance between the light emitting segments.

A vehicle light, wherein light to be emitted by a base light source which is offset with respect to an emission surface is first conducted radially outwards in targeted manner and is then reflected in an axial direction with respect to the emission surface, uses light-conducting bodies, which are spaced apart from a deflection mirror, or a light-conducting space, which extends first radially and then axially, to obtain as light-intensive, uniform and directional light emissions as possible.

A position light-integrated blinker apparatus for a saddle riding vehicle with improved visibility a blinker-light light source; position-light light sources; and a housing which houses both the blinker-light light source and the position-light light sources. A position light light-emitting region formed by illumination of the position-light light sources surrounds a blinker light light-emitting region formed by illumination of the blinker-light light source.

A position light-integrated blinker apparatus for a saddle riding vehicle with improved visibility a blinker-light light source; position-light light sources; and a housing which houses both the blinker-light light source and the position-light light sources. A position light light-emitting region formed by illumination of the position-light light sources surrounds a blinker light light-emitting region formed by illumination of the blinker-light light source.

A bicycle safety lighting assembly for improved rider visibility and safety includes a front lighting array, a rear lighting array, and a control mechanism. The front lighting array is coupled to a front of a bicycle and comprises a running light, a headlight, and a pair of front turn signals. The rear lighting array is coupled to a back of the bicycle and comprises a brake taillight and a pair of rear turn signals. The control mechanism is coupled to a handle bar of the bicycle and comprises a housing, a battery coupled to the housing, a microprocessor, and a plurality of controls. The microprocessor is in operational communication with the battery and a brake system of the bicycle. The plurality of controls is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with each of the microprocessor, the front lighting array, and the rear lighting array.

The invention is directed to illuminated footboards for a motorcycle. Two pairs of footboards are provided: front footboards for the operator, and rear footboards for a passenger. Both pairs of footboards provide a row of sequentially brightening yellow light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the side surfaces, which function as turn signals. The front footboards provide white light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front surfaces similar to vehicle headlights, and the rear footboards provide brightening red LEDs on the rear surfaces which function as brake lights. Alternately, illuminated footpegs may provide single yellow LEDs on the ends as turn signals, and white LEDs on the front surfaces.

The lamp body structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a taillight, and a cover covering the taillight from the periphery. The cover includes a pair of rear-side turn signal lamps fixed to the cover such as to be located on both left and right sides of the taillight. The rear-side turn signal lamp is provided with a fixture for fixing the rear-side turn signal lamp to the cover. The taillight is inserted into an opening provided in the cover, whereby a lens is exposed to outside and is covered by the cover from the periphery. The rear-side turn signal lamp includes a guard section covering the fixture.
