OPERATING DEVICE FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
20230078660 · 2023-03-16 · ·

An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base structure, a first switch unit, and a first coupling structure. The first switch unit comprises a first switch base member, a first switch, and a first movable member. The first switch is configured to be activated in response to a first user input. The first switch is mounted to the first switch base member. The first movable member is pivotally coupled to the first switch base member about a first pivot axis such that the first movable member activates the first switch in response to the first user input. The first coupling structure is configured to couple the first switch base member to the base structure such that a position of the first switch base member is adjustable relative to the base structure about the first pivot axis.

METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A TARGET POSITION OF A DISPLAY- AND/OR CONTROL UNIT IN A HOLDING DEVICE, AND CORRESPONDING DISPLAY- AND/OR CONTROL UNIT

A method, and a device that carries out the method, in which the proper holding and/or orientation of the display and/or control unit in the holding device for the carrying out of the further functions is provided.

Dynamic blind spot detector for motorcycle
20230159126 · 2023-05-25 ·

When riding a motorcycle, a vehicle in the rider's blind spot poses a hazard. A fixed range blind spot detector may not properly detect vehicles in adjacent lanes if the motorcycle is at one side or other of the lane that it is travelling in. A lane position sensor detects the position of the motorcycle with respect to the centerline of the lane in which it is travelling. Depending on the sideways position of the motorcycle within its lane, the widths of the detection zones of the blind spot detector are adjusted so that between them they cover a majority of the width of each adjacent lane.

20230064633 · 2023-03-02 ·

A handlebar apparatus for a bicycle that includes an elongated housing having a proximal end and a distal end configured as handle portions that can be grabbed by hands of a cyclist for steering the bicycle. The apparatus further includes a transparent panel encased by the housing, an electronic device also housed in the housing, and a display coupled to the electronic device and juxtaposed to the transparent panel such that the display is visible from outside through the panel. The electronic device can connect an external computing device through a network.

Support structure for meter stay

A support structure for a meter stay applied to a saddled vehicle including a top bridge coupling upper ends of a left-right pair of front forks; a handle clamp supporting a steering handle above the top bridge; and a meter stay supporting a meter device, in which a shaft member extends downwardly and is positioned on a lower surface of the handle clamp; an elastic member is disposed to abut a lower surface of the top bridge; the meter stay is placed to be in contact with a lower surface of the elastic member; and the shaft member passes through the top bridge, the elastic member, and the meter stay in this order, with a fixing member being coupled to a distal end of the shaft member.

Vehicle activation systems and methods for electric vehicles
11602995 · 2023-03-14 · ·

Methods and systems for activating electric vehicles are provided. One method includes, in response to a first command to activate the vehicle, transitioning the vehicle from an inactive state to a wake state where a controller of the vehicle is activated and the vehicle is prevented from being propelled by an electric motor of the vehicle. The method also includes, in response to receiving a second command to activate the vehicle after receiving the first command, transitioning the vehicle from the wake state to a ready state where the vehicle is permitted to be propelled by the electric motor.

SAFETY APPARATUS WITH SENSORY ALERTS TO SURROUNDING PERSONS

The invention relates to a super slim, form fitting, rechargeable and detachable safety device that spans the length of a bicycles, four wheeler, motorcycle, or scooters handlebars that cars and people cannot miss, day or night. It features an adaptable and flexible structure that conforms to the shape and length of one man, two, or four wheeled vehicles or body shapes. Instant invention can utilize sound, lighting or other sensory alerts to notify pedestrians and motorists of the presence of the motorist using it and also features connectivity for data exchange

Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles

Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles include a proximity sensor, a speed sensor, a warning device, and a controller having a bypass mode and a warning mode. The controller compares the speed of the micromobility vehicle with a predetermined speed threshold, enters the bypass mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is less than the predetermined speed threshold, and enters the warning mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is greater than the predetermined speed threshold. The controller does not activate the warning device in the bypass mode. In the warning mode, the controller calculates an estimated time until a potential collision with the object, compares the estimated time object with a predetermined time threshold, and generates a collision warning by activating the warning device in response to the estimated time until collision being less than the predetermined time threshold.
