NOTIFICATION SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED VEHICLE

A notification system for an electric power assisted vehicle includes two or more notifiers to notify a user that a remaining charge of a battery that supplies power to an electric motor is low, and a controller configured or programmed to control operations of the two or more notifiers. The two or more notifiers include two or more of a display panel to display the remaining battery charge, a lamp to emit light, and a sound component to produce sound. The controller is configured or programmed to compare the remaining battery charge with a predetermined value, and when the remaining battery charge is lower than or equal to the predetermined value, to notify the user that the remaining battery charge is low by a combination of the operations of the two or more notifiers.

SAFETY APPARATUS WITH SENSORY ALERTS TO SURROUNDING PERSONS

The invention relates to a super slim, form fitting, rechargeable and detachable safety device that spans the length of a bicycles, four wheeler, motorcycle, or scooters handlebars that cars and people cannot miss, day or night. It features an adaptable and flexible structure that conforms to the shape and length of one man, two, or four wheeled vehicles or body shapes. Instant invention can utilize sound, lighting or other sensory alerts to notify pedestrians and motorists of the presence of the motorist using it and also features connectivity for data exchange

Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles

Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles include a proximity sensor, a speed sensor, a warning device, and a controller having a bypass mode and a warning mode. The controller compares the speed of the micromobility vehicle with a predetermined speed threshold, enters the bypass mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is less than the predetermined speed threshold, and enters the warning mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is greater than the predetermined speed threshold. The controller does not activate the warning device in the bypass mode. In the warning mode, the controller calculates an estimated time until a potential collision with the object, compares the estimated time object with a predetermined time threshold, and generates a collision warning by activating the warning device in response to the estimated time until collision being less than the predetermined time threshold.
