Two-wheeled vehicle
A two-wheeled vehicle is provided including a frame, front and rear ground-engaging members each supporting the frame, a straddle-type seat, a handlebar for steering the vehicle, at least one light device configured to operate in a hazard mode, an engine supported by the frame and operably coupled to the ground-engaging members, a tilt sensor, and a vehicle control unit in communication with the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to detect a tilt angle of the vehicle based on output from the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to determine a tip-over condition of the vehicle based on the detected tilt angle exceeding a threshold tilt angle. The vehicle control unit activates the hazard mode of the at least one light in response to the determination of the tip-over condition.

BICYCLE SADDLE ACCESSORY COUPLING DEVICE
A bicycle saddle accessory coupling device includes a body, a first accessory, a second accessory, and a positioning unit. The body includes an attaching portion coupled to a bicycle saddle, a first connecting portion, and a second connecting portion located between the attaching portion and the first connecting portion. The first accessory includes a first guiding portion removably connected to the first connecting portion and a first coupling portion. The second accessory includes a second guiding portion removably connected to the second connecting portion and a second coupling portion. The positioning unit is disposed on the body and removably coupled to the first and coupling portions.
QUICK CONNECT AND DISCONNECT LATCH MECHANISM FOR MOUNTING ACCESSORIES ON OFFROAD VEHICLES
A latching mechanism removably attaches an accessory to an offroad vehicle without requiring tools. The latching mechanism includes a body, a shaft extending through the body, and a handle riding on a conical surface of the body for rotating the shaft relative to the body. An oblong head extends on a lower side of the body, rotatable by the handle and shaft to a position where the head extends under a shoulder of a mounting recess. A spring system biases the head axially, such that the head can be moved either upwardly or downwardly from a balanced elevation set by a nut tightenable on a bolt. The mounting recess has an upper portion shaped differently from a lower portion. The body includes a hooking portion which extends significantly above the top of the mounting recess.
