Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods perform security actions for electric bicycle in response to potential theft or tampering events at the electric bicycle. The systems and methods can select actions to perform based on information from multiple different sensors, from polling sensors or components of the bicycle for information, based on a context of the event, and so on.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that communicates with a wireless network via one or more wireless communication protocols, where the communication device is configured to manage communications between the wireless network and various components of the electric bicycle. The communication device can include a bicycle communications component that facilitates communications between the communication device and components of the electric bicycle, and a network communications component that facilitates communications between the electric bicycle and the wireless network.

A seat support portion of an electric motorcycle includes: a frame that supports a seat; and a tray having a flat structure. The frame has a folded structure having opposing sides. The frame and the tray are attached to each other and define a storage compartment of the electric motor cycle. The folded structure of the frame partially defines the storage compartment.

A straddle-type vehicle includes a driver seat on which a driver rides, a cylinder head of an engine arranged in a region in front of and below the driver seat, an exhaust pipe that is connected to an exhaust port formed on a front surface of the cylinder head and exhausts exhaust of the engine, and a control unit that is arranged in an engine front space formed in front of the cylinder head, above the exhaust pipe, and below an upper end surface of the engine and controls the straddle-type vehicle.

A bicycle frame lighting system comprising a top light assembly and a bottom light assembly. The top light assembly is assembled to left and right sides of a top tube of a bicycle, wherein the top light assembly includes a pair of top light assembly components that can be detached and re-attached such that top tube is secured between a cavity formed between the top light assembly components. The bottom light assembly is assembled to left and right sides of a bottom tube of the bicycle, wherein the bottom light assembly includes a pair of bottom light assembly components that can be detached and re-attached such that bottom tube is secured between a cavity formed between the bottom light assembly components. The bicycle frame lighting system further comprises a battery housing holding a power source for powering the top light assembly and the bottom light assembly.

A core of the electric motorcycle includes a monocoque that partially encloses a housing for a motor and gearbox. Separate suspension mounts attach to the core, which permits them to be exchanged for other mounts to provide different suspension geometries. A power electronics unit attaches to the front of the monocoque. The shape of the monocoque allows for the proper positioning of the center of gravity of the motorcycle in order to provide a balanced ride.

A vehicle for a person to ride on a ground surface includes a rigid frame that has front and rear ends and at least a seat on a top side of the frame. A steering mechanism disposed proximate the front end of the frame is adapted for allowing the person to steer a front wheel. A steering fork may include two lower fork members each selectively detachable from two upper fork members of the steering fork at two telescoping attachment arrangements that includes a front suspension arrangement. A rigid frame extension has a front end that is pivotally fixed proximate the rear end of the frame. The frame extension includes at least one rear wheel fixed with a rear end of the frame extension. A motor is fixed with the front wheel and is electrically connected with at least one battery and a throttle switch fixed with the steering mechanism.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a bike-supported communication device that is integrated into a bike lock, lock, or lock assembly.
