A weather protection screen comprising a transparent flexible waterproof sheet (210), characterised in that the weather protection screen further comprises a rotatable shaft (200), and two coiling support members (100) fixed at their proximal ends to the rotatable shaft (200) proximate respective opposite ends of the rotatable shaft (200); wherein: the transparent flexible waterproof sheet (210) is mounted between the two coiling support members (100); and the coiling support members (100) and transparent flexible waterproof sheet (210) are movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, such that, when in the stowed configuration, the coiling support members (100) and the transparent flexible waterproof sheet (210) are wrapped around the rotatable shaft (200) in a wound arrangement, and when in the deployed configuration, the transparent flexible waterproof sheet (210) and at least the corresponding portions (130) of the coiling support members (100) are unwound and extended from the rotatable shaft (200), having a qualitatively opposite curvature to the wound arrangement of the stowed configuration.

A motor-less leg-powered curved treadmill produced that allows people to walk, jog, run, and sprint without making any adjustments to the treadmill other than shifting the user's center of gravity forward and backwards. A closed loop treadmill belt running between front and rear pulley rollers is formed with a low friction running surface of transverse aluminum, wooden, plastic, rubber or carbon fiber slats attached to each other in a resilient fashion. Since an essential feature of treadmill is the concave shape of the running surface of belt in its respective upper portion, the treadmill configurations insure that this shape is maintained during actual use. These configurations prevent the concave upper running surface portion from being pulled taut into a flat shape between the front and rear pulley rollers.

A bodywork for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a scooter, has a roof element and a storage compartment. The roof element has at least two roof struts and a cover for the storage compartment. The roof element is mounted so as to pivot around an axis of pivot between at least two positions. In a first, lower position of the roof element, the roof struts are arranged in a stored position, the storage compartment has a reduced volume and is closed by the cover. In a second, upper position, the roof struts are arranged above a driver's seat and the storage compartment has an enlarged volume.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a motorized tricycle includes a lean mechanism and an active system that is operably coupled to the lean mechanism that receives an signal indicative of an interaction with human, that is operable to detect a lean of the body of the human and that is operable to receive a sensed movement on the seat via multisensory devices, and to generate and send a signal to the lean mechanism from the signal, the lean and the sensed movement.

The present invention relates to a three-wheel monocoque motorbike-type vehicle designed to increase the survival of persons (users or pedestrians) in the event of an accident. The vehicle is characterized by its inverted-tricycle configuration and is provided with: a monocoque chassis (1) to protect the users from injury in the event of accidents; safety seats provided with retaining systems (8) and mechanical detachment (9) from the chassis of the vehicle to prevent the direct transmission of energy from collisions; and systems for absorbing the energy of impact in order to protect the users (4, 5, 6) and pedestrians (7).

A step-through type vehicle includes: a frame assembly; at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel connected to the frame assembly and rotated by a power unit; and a plurality of portions comprising one or more flexible portions, and one or more fixed portions. The fixed portions include a front structure, a rear structure, and a top structure disposed between the front structure and the rear structure. The flexible portions include at least one retractable member. The top structure and the retractable member include a plurality of solar panels. The retractable member is detachably attached with the top structure, and is retracted upwardly towards the top structure, and stretched downwardly from the top structure towards the front wheel and the rear wheel. The retractable member is foldably stowed inside at least one box like compartment, which is at least one part of the rear structure.

A bike having an automatic landing wheel apparatus includes a left landing wheel arm on the left side of the bike to vertically move a left landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A right landing wheel arm on the right side of the bike vertically moves a right landing wheel rotatably coupled to the lower end portion thereof. A left driving unit drives the left landing wheel arm to move the left landing wheel upward and downward. A right driving unit drives the right landing wheel arm to move the right landing wheel upward and downward. A speed detection unit detects the speed of the bike. A controller is connected with the speed detection unit, the left driving unit, and the right driving unit to move the left and right landing wheels upward or downward in response to the detected speed of the bike.

A cargo bicycle which can be driven using muscle power and/or an electric drive, with at least one pick-up area in or on which or at least one swap body and/or an additional load can be or is positioned and with at least one driver area which is positioned in front of the pick-up area in regard to the direction of travel of the cargo bicycle and which includes at least one seat unit, one pedal unit, one steering unit, one flashing roof element at least over the driver area and one at least area by area limiting floor plate of a floor unit in the driver area in the direction of the travel surface. The floor plate and roof element include at least an area by area distance to one another which is at least the body size of an operator.
