Windscreen with adjustable height for a motorcycle, for associating with a front part of the motorcycle vehicle, including a support portion secured on this front part, a transparent portion movable relative to the support portion, and movement apparatus allowing varying height of this transparent portion relative to the support portion. The movement apparatus includes a body guidably movable inside a seat of the support portion and integral with the transparent portion. The movable body including lateral movable coupling elements for cooperating with consecutive and adjacent seats present at different heights on sides of the support portion seat. The coupling elements controlled by a release unit and subjected to thrust action of resilient elements which can thrust these coupling elements inside the seats of the elements in the support portion, to lock the transparent portion at different heights relative to the support portion.

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.

A transportation apparatus that combines pedaled and motored locomotion as selected by the rider. The apparatus includes a set of structural frames including a front frame and a rear frame. In an embodiment of the invention, the front frame and rear frame may be folded together to reduce the size of the apparatus for storage. The apparatus includes a pedal set coupled to a prime mover and motion transfer element located to the front end of the apparatus that together enable pedaled movement without a front axle. One or more rear wheels are motorized for pedal assistance or direct motorized locomotion. The apparatus is relatively low weight and can transport a plurality of passengers.
