A straddle-type vehicle comprises a radiator through which air flowing from a front flows in a forward and rearward direction of a vehicle body; an engine which generates driving power for allowing the straddle-type vehicle to travel, the engine being disposed rearward of the radiator; and a cover unit covering from above a space formed between the radiator and the engine, and the engine, wherein the cover unit includes: a hard cover which is located at a front side of the cover unit, extends rearward from the radiator, and covers the space formed between the radiator and the engine; and a soft cover which is located at a rear side of the cover unit, extends rearward from the hard cover, and covers the engine.

An air guide structure of a saddle-type vehicle includes a front side cover which covers a front side of the saddle-type vehicle, extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and includes a first cover member and a second cover member. The first cover member is arranged inside the second cover member. The second cover member overlaps the first cover member to partially cover the first cover member from outside. A cavity extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction is formed as an air guide passage by overlapping the first cover member and the second cover member. An outer edge of the second cover member separates from the first cover member at a part of a front side of the air guide passage to form a gap. An air intake hole is formed downward by the gap and is configured to introduce traveling air into the air guide passage.

A canopy for a vehicle, such as an electric bicycle, comprises a front assembly, a rear assembly, and a photovoltaic panel operative to charge the vehicle's batteries. The front and rear assemblies comprise struts which may be curved to make the canopy more aesthetic. The assemblies comprise struts which may be curved to any arbitrary shape such as circular or elliptical. The photovoltaic panel may be made from flexible material to accommodate the curved shape of the assemblies. The canopy may further include an output power controller to control the output power of the photovoltaic panel.

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.

A retractable top for a motorcycle including a windshield and a storage compartment, the retractable top is provided with at least one hinge secured to the storage compartment, at least one folding member for pivotably securing a front section of the retractable top to an adjacent section of the retractable top, and at least one buckle for securing the front section of the retractable top to the windshield. Each buckle includes a first hook disposed on an inner surface of the windshield, a pivotal loop configured to place on the first hook, a second hook disposed on an inner surface of the front section of the retractable top, and a third hook pivotably secured to the pivotal loop and configured to secure to the second hook. The retractable top and the windshield are configured to releasably fasten together.

A bike having an energy recovery device includes a driving wheel that is coupled to a rear wheel driving shaft pulley of the bike and rotates with the rear wheel of the bike. When a wire is pulled by the bike rider, an outer peripheral surface of a rotating wheel contacts an outer peripheral surface of the driving wheel and rotates together by means of friction with the driving wheel. When the wire pulling force is released, contact with the driving wheel is released. A piston moves in the forward/backward direction inside a cylinder of a compressor. During operation, air is compressed by the movement of the piston, exits through an exhaust opening formed on the rear portion of the cylinder, and is stored in an air tank through an air hose.

In a to-be-cooled body protection structure of a saddle-ridden vehicle, a guard member protects at least a front portion of a to-be-cooled body requiring cooling with a travelling air, straddles over a pair of left and right frame members, is supported to the body frame, and located at a rear of a front wheel. A plurality of through-holes are provided on the guard member, each include at least one linear edge portion linearly extending, and are formed into non-circular shapes. The non-circular through-holes are arranged such that linear ribs are formed between linear edge portions, as said linear edge portion, facing each other of adjacent ones of the non-circular through-holes. Accordingly, while protecting the to-be-cooled body from a small stone etc. jumped up by the front wheel, a larger amount of travelling air is guided to the to-be-cooled body side.

A snowmobile includes a frame, at least one ski, a seat, a handlebar connected to the at least one ski via a steering shaft, and a single-piece hood. The single-piece hood includes a forward position located approximately equal to a first horizontal plane, a lower portion that extends rearwardly from the forward position and a top portion that extends rearwardly from the forward position, wherein the bottom portion is located beneath the first horizontal plane and the top portion is located above the first horizontal plane.

A leaning vehicle including a vehicle body frame having a main framework part, a seat, left and right steps, left and right front wheels, at least one rear wheel, a leaning linkage mechanism including left and right swing arms swingably supporting the left and right front wheels and connected to the vehicle body frame via left and right support parts, respectively, and a buffer device buffering movement of the left and right front wheels. The leaning vehicle leans the vehicle body frame leftward and rightward when turning left and right, respectively. The main framework part includes a main-framework-front portion that is located further forward than centers of the left and right steps, that is wider than a distance between the left and right support parts, and that supports the leaning linkage mechanism at a position further downward than at least a part of the left and right steps.
