A motorcycle includes a display unit for representing information on the driving state and operating parameters of the motorcycle, an operating unit to generate control commands for controlling the display unit, and a multifunctional device with a screen. An application can be installed on the multifunctional device to allow other applications installed on the multifunctional device to be opened. The selection of further applications to be opened by the application can be represented on the screen in the form of pictograms. A control unit uses control commands for controlling the application, and the further applications to be opened by the application can be transmitted to the multifunctional device. The control commands for controlling the application, and the further applications to be opened by the application, can be generated by the operating unit, and a switching device can switch between control of the display unit and control of the multifunctional device.

A method for regulating vehicle access comprises receiving, from an electronic device of a user, a request to access a vehicle. The vehicle can be disposed at a designated geographic location. Next, geographic information of the user is received from the electronic device. The geographic information is determined with the aid of the electronic device of the user. The user is then provided access to the vehicle if, based on the received geographic information, a geographic location of the user is within a given distance from the designated geographic location of the vehicle.

A holding system (10) for releasable attachment of a flat item (12) to an object (14) includes a receiving structure (16) is associated with the flat item (12) or the object (14) and a retaining structure (18) is associated with the other one. The structures (16, 18) engage with each other. The retaining structure (18) includes two latching elements (20, 22) arranged in opposite directions and movable relative to one another and have latching sections (24) which engage in corresponding receiving sections (26; 26) of the receiving structure (16). The latching elements (20, 22) are movable relative to one another so that a distance (a1) between the latching sections (24) can be changed to switch the retaining structure (18) between a release position and a latching position. The retaining structure (18) has a base body (30) and only one latching element (20) is movably guided in respect to the base body (30). Another latching element (22) arranged opposite the movable latching element (20) is fixed immovably to the base body (30) or forms an integral part of the base body (30).

A visual warning system for transmitting a signal from a first user to a second user. The system includes a first and second visual warning assembly. Each visual warning assembly includes a case having a base and a front face and an enclosed space within the case. Each visual warning assembly also includes an antenna and a lighted button configured to illuminate and de-illuminate. Finally, each visual warning assembly includes a microcontroller disposed within the enclosed space and electrically coupled together with the antenna and lighted button. The visual warning assembly can send and receive communications having instructions to and from other visual warning assemblies. As the lighted button of the first visual warning assembly is illuminated by a user, an instruction is sent to the second visual warning assembly illuminating the lighted button of the second visual warning assembly.
