A saddled electric-powered vehicle is configured by including approximately rectangular parallelepiped batteries, a battery case in which the batteries are housed, battery-side terminals provided on bottom surfaces of the batteries, and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals. The battery case is arranged below a seat, and pressing holders that press the batteries housed in the battery case from above are provided while making a front and rear pair for each battery. The battery case is formed in a bottomed box shape with an upper side open. Each pressing holder is provided with a rubber portion brought into contact with an upper surface of each battery. The saddled electric-powered vehicle can enhance convenience by optimizing an arrangement and a housing structure of portable batteries.

A straddle-type electric vehicle includes two approximately rectangular parallelepiped batteries, a battery case in which the batteries are housed, battery-side terminals provided on bottom surfaces of the batteries, and case-side terminals engaged with the battery-side terminals. The two batteries are arranged next to each other in a vehicle width direction. An operation lever for connecting or separating the battery-side terminals and the case-side terminals to/from each other is provided. The operation lever is arranged in a middle in the vehicle width direction between the two batteries, and the battery-side terminals and the case-side terminals are arranged nearer outer sides in the vehicle width direction. A pair of front and rear link mechanisms for coupling the operation lever and the case-side terminals to each other is provided in front of and behind the battery case.

A foldable electric scooter and a manufacture method of the same. The foldable electric scooter includes a main body assembly, a front fork assembly located at the front end of the main body assembly, a rear fork assembly located at the rear end of the main body assembly, a telescoping plate assembly located on top of the front fork assembly and a handlebar assembly located on top of the telescoping plate assembly. The foldable electric scooter has a double headset design that increases a rake angle for more steering stability while still keeping the steering upright for an upright holding of the handlebars. The foldable electric scooter is manufactured by stamping of flat plate material.

A battery unit for a drive mechanism for a bicycle comprises at least one decoupling element. This allows for a decoupling of a housing for receiving a battery from the bicycle frame. The battery unit may in particular be mounted in an elastically dampened manner in the bicycle frame.

A bicycle component controller is basically provided with a processor. The processor is configured to perform a gear shift control based on a sprocket assembly information of at least one sprocket assembly. The sprocket assembly information at least includes a single shifting distance and shifting gate information. The single shifting distance corresponds to an axial spacing between adjacent sprockets of the at least one sprocket assembly.
