The present invention relates to a monocoque frame (100) for a motorcycle, comprising: a structural loop (102) formed of composite material, comprising a plurality of mounts for mounting components of the motorcycle; and at least one structural panel (104, 106) formed of composite material, removably mounted to an open side of the structural loop (102). The or each structural panel (104, 106) comprises at least one elongate formation (110a, 110b) for providing structural rigidity. The invention further relates to a motorcycle, such as an electric motorcycle, incorporating the monocoque frame.

A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.

An electric motorcycle is provided. The electric motorcycle includes a frame, a battery, a motor electronically connected to the battery, a chain connecting the motor to a rear wheel, and a dual-sided swing arm configured to maintain the rear wheel, the dual-sided swing arm comprising a right side swing arm spar and a left side swing arm spar, the dual-sided swing arm joined to the frame at a pivot point forward of the rear wheel. The motor is positioned within the dual-sided swing arm at a motor location between the pivot point and the rear wheel.

A motorcycle, or saddle type vehicle, is disclosed that may have at least one seat and at least two wheels, at least one hub electric motor. A large dry storage compartment may be positioned between the rider and steering mount. A rechargeable battery and battery management system may be located below the storage compartment in a battery housing, where the battery housing may be a structural component of the chassis. A rear electronics housing may be attached to and located behind the battery housing, and may contain major electrical components such as electric motor controller and contactors. Two structural members, or frame side rails, may form sides of the storage compartment and extend between the electronics housing and steering mount. The electronics housing may also connect to the battery housing such that the battery housing reinforces and strengthens the chassis, or structural frame. A secondary storage compartment may be located under the seat. Additionally, the storage compartments may have electronic locking mechanisms that are activated via a wireless connection to a remote electronic device.

An electric vehicle includes a steering element that can include a handle bar element. A platform supports a ride of the electric vehicle. At least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel are included and coupled to the platform. An electric motor provides a mechanical power to at least one of the front and rear wheels. A battery housing removably receives and holds one or more battery packs, where the one or more battery packs are configured to power the electric vehicle. A camera is included.

A bicycle includes a frame, a motor, a battery, a key interface, a crank set, and a shell. The frame defines a cavity and an opening providing access to the cavity. The motor is coupled to frame beneath the cavity. The battery extends at least partially into the frame. The battery is configured to power the motor. The key interface is positioned along an exterior of the frame. Turning a key in the key interface releases the battery to facilitate removing the battery from the frame. The crank set is coupled to the motor. The crank set includes crank arms. The shell extends at least partially over the opening.
