The present invention relates to bicycles, and is particularly concerned with bicycles having a ridged mounted seat and step through frame that is designed around the seat. The present invention is a uniframe bicycle with a step through design and a rigid mounted banana style seat pedal forward design.

The invention relates to a bicycle (100) having a frame structure (200) that comprises a swingarm structure (225) including a first substantially U-shaped sheet metal part for holding a wheel (103), the frame structure further comprising a frame bridge (219) consisting of a second substantially U-shaped sheet metal part. The first U-shaped sheet metal part is bent substantially in a first bending plane (P) to form a first U-shape, and the second U-shaped sheet metal part is bent in a second bending plane (Q) to form substantially a second U-shape. The first bending plane extends substantially perpendicular to the second bending plane.

Embodiments disclosed herein include an electric assist bicycle adapted for a both personal and public use, and subcomponents of the bicycle. The electric assist bicycle can include a hollow frame with one or more cables routed within the hollow frame. The hollow frame can be configured with an internal battery compartment. The electric assist bicycle can further include a modular electronic locking system.

A front fork for a bicycle is disclosed. The bicycle includes a handlebar, a stem, a headset, a frame and the front fork. The frame has a top tube, a down tube and a hollow head tube, and the stem secures the handlebar to the front fork via the headset such that movement of the handlebar results in movement of the stem and the front fork. The front fork comprises a pair of hollow tubular fork legs and a hollow steerer tube connected to the pair of hollow tubular fork legs and has a first opening formed thereon. Wherein the hollow head tube has a second opening formed thereon and corresponding and communicating to the first opening of the hollow steerer tube when the hollow steerer tube of the front fork is secured to the stem through the hollow head tube.

A bicycle training aid device comprising a cantilevered handle member for grasping by a user and guiding and/or supporting a bicycle, the cantilevered handle member disposed laterally adjacent to and extending in a direction outwardly away from a rear wheel of the bike and is retained on the frame of the bicycle using a plurality of attachment plates, wherein the plurality of attachment plates are configured to be coupled together with fasteners and each having a plurality clips configured to receive frame members on the frame of the bicycle.

A bicycle electric device comprises an electric actuator, a controller, and a switch. The electric actuator is configured to be operated in response to an operation of a bicycle electric operating device. The controller has a pairing mode in which the controller receives identification information of at least one electric telescopic apparatus. The switch is electrically connected to the controller to set the controller to the pairing mode based on a user input received by the switch.

A bicycle electric telescopic apparatus comprises a first tube, a second tube, a positioning structure, an electric positioning actuator, and a power supply. The first tube has a center axis. The second tube is telescopically received in the first tube. The positioning structure is configured to relatively position the first tube and the second tube in a telescopic direction extending along the center axis of the first tube. The electric positioning actuator is configured to actuate the positioning structure. The power supply is to supply electricity to the electric positioning actuator. The power supply is configured to be detachably connected to an electric bicycle component other than the bicycle electric telescopic apparatus.

An apparatus including a bicycle frame including a drive side chain stay. The drive side chain stay can include a drive side chain stay chamber, an inside chain stay cutout, an outside chain stay cutout; and a dropout. The drive side chain stay can be configured such that a chain of a bicycle including the bicycle frame can be inserted through the inside chain stay cutout, the drive side chain stay chamber, and the outside chain stay cutout without breaking the chain.
