Bicycle telescopic apparatus

A bicycle telescopic apparatus includes a first tube, a second tube, a positioning structure, a memory, and a controller. The second tube is telescopically received in the first tube and configured to be adjustably movable with respect to the first tube in a longitudinal direction of the bicycle telescopic apparatus. The positioning structure includes an electrical actuator to adjustably position the second tube relative to the first tube in the longitudinal direction. The memory is configured to store setting information for a predetermined relative position of the first tube and the second tube, and the setting information is changed via an electrical setting operation. The controller is configured to control the electrical actuator to position the second tube relative to the first tube at the predetermined relative position.

Bicycle seat post structure

A bicycle seat post structure includes an upper tube and a lower tube. The lower tube includes an inserted space and a wire passage. The inserted space is configured for the upper tube to be movably disposed therein. The wire passage is located at one side of the inserted space and is configured to receive at least one wire.

SPRING CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLY WITH LOW OIL LEVEL FOR BICYCLE DROPPER POST
20230322318 · 2023-10-12 ·

A dropper post may include an outer tube and an inner tube slidable relative to the outer tube between an extended position and a retracted position. A spring cartridge may include an axially extending cylinder containing a combination of a liquid and a gas and having a sliding surface and a piston with a sealing portion dividing the cylinder interior to provide a first chamber and a second chamber. Moving the inner tube toward the retracted position expands the first chamber. When inner tube is in the extended position the sealing portion is at least partially submerged in the liquid, the second chamber contains a layer of the gas above a layer of the liquid and the first chamber contains the liquid and when the inner tube is in the retracted position the first chamber contains the liquid and a layer of gas between the liquid and the sealing portion.
