A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.

A handlebar system; the system provides a multi-functional handlebar component for a cycle or similar vehicle. Versions of the system include a housing containing a battery; a handlebar mount configured to attach to the cycle, a subcomponent housing; an energy storage module mechanically coupled to the subcomponent housing; a user interface fixed to the subcomponent housing, and including a speaker, a microphone, and at least one manual input, the user interface adapted to communicate a command from a user; a communication module fixed to the subcomponent housing and electrically coupled to the energy storage module, the communication module including a transceiver electrically coupled to the energy storage module, the transceiver configured to communicate with at least one external communication network wirelessly; and a memory electrically coupled to the energy storage module.

This sharing system shares an electric moving body between a plurality of users. The electric moving body comprises a vehicle body, a driving source that outputs driving force for the traveling of the vehicle body, and a main battery installed in the vehicle body by a provider of the sharing system. Moreover, an ECU of the electric moving body supplies power from a user battery provided by a user who has borrowed the electric moving body to the main battery.

An oscillation-type vehicle includes a front vehicle body that suspends a front wheel in a steerable manner, a rear vehicle body that suspends left and right drive wheels, and an oscillation mechanism that causes the front vehicle body and the rear vehicle body to oscillate relative to each other. The oscillation-type vehicle being capable of carrying out drive control of the left and right drive wheels such that the drive wheels behave differently from each other in response to oscillation of the oscillation-type vehicle, wherein the drive control of the left and right drive wheels is carried out using information on the oscillation and information on a speed of vehicle.

A snow vehicle basically includes a vehicle body, a saddle seat, at least one ski, an engine, a starter motor and a lithium power module. The engine is attached to the vehicle body. The starter motor is operatively coupled to the engine and electrically coupled to a first electrical connection. The lithium power module has a lithium battery with a second electrical connection that is configured to be toollessly connected and disconnected to the first electrical connection.

A seat post assembly for a bicycle has a first tube with a first distal end and a second tube with a second distal end. The first and second tubes are movable relative to one another to establish a distance between the first and second distal ends. A first pressure chamber has a loaded pressure proportional to a load applied along the tube axis. A second pressure chamber has a second pressure not proportional to the load. A flow path connects the first and second pressure chambers. A valve is disposed along the flow path and is configured to move between a closed position closing the flow path and an open position opening the flow path between the first and second pressure chambers. An isolator of the valve is configured to nullify any resultant force produced by the loaded pressure of the first pressure chamber acting on the isolator.

Among others, the present invention provides electric scooters each including a vertical tube, a handle bar element, a platform configured to support a rider, at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel, an electric motor configured to provide a mechanical power to at least one of the front and rear wheels, and a battery housing configured to removably receive and hold one or more battery packs. The one or more battery packs are configured to power the electric scooter, and at least one battery pack is capable of being used as a power supply of an electric power or gardening tool.

An electric vehicle is provided. A cloud is coupled to and in communication with the electric vehicle. The cloud includes a server. A plurality of private keys and private key pairs cryptographically secure sensitive information relative to the electric vehicle. The private keys perform one or more of: decryption; encryption: or signing data. A corresponding public key decrypts or verifies a signature of the data signed by its private key Public keys cannot be used to encrypt or sign data.

Provided is an electric scooter with a top-swappable battery. In some embodiments, the electric scooter a frame having an opening, and a removable deck assembly disposed in the opening, the removable deck assembly comprising a deck having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a battery pack attached to the lower surface of the deck.
