A compactable bicycle comprising a frame including a first and second frame portions wherein the frame is unfoldable to a use position for riding by the rider and is foldable to a storage position for storage. The bicycle includes: a rear brake, a rear brake lever, a rear break cable passes through a first cable guide, and a brake cable biasing member that is positioned to urge the rear brake cable back through the first cable guide to be between the first cable guide and the rear brake lever; front and rear wheel connectors to hold the front and rear wheels together; a crank, a front sprocket, a rear cassette, rear sprockets, a chain, and a derailleur; a chain guide that is positioned to engage the chain and to limit a lateral angle of the chain relative to the rear sprocket; or first and second frame element locking surfaces and apertures, and a plunger movable to a clamping position and to a release position.

A hybrid pump-action vehicle and therapy device may include a pumping arm attached to a lower pump-action assembly. As the pumping arm is actuated, the lower pump-action assembly moves forward and rearward in response to the pumping action and powers movement of the vehicle. The lower pump-action assembly may be releasably connected to the pump arm so that the pump arm can be disengaged from the pumping action but still be usable for steering. A motor may also be provided to provide assistance or full power to the vehicle based on a user-selectable amount of assistance. And finally, the vehicle may be configured such that it can be collapsed to a fraction of its operating footprint to enable easy transport and storage.

A scooter, including a main body, a front wheel, a first rear wheel, a second rear wheel, a drive part and a controller. The front wheel is rotatably arranged at a front part of the main body. The first rear wheel and the second rear wheel are spaced apart and rotatably arranged at a rear part of the main body. One drive part is provided, which is connected to the first rear wheel, and is configured to merely drive the first rear wheel to rotate, so as to driving the main body to move. The controller is electrically connected to the drive part to adjust a rotation speed of the drive part, so as to adjust a rotation speed of the first rear wheel.

Apparatus is for, or is included with, a vehicle having a vehicular handlebar, and also having first and second pipe portions. The first elongated portion is configured to receive and support a vehicular handlebar, and to be slidably received, at least in part, in the second elongated portion. An engagement device is configured to selectively engage the first and second pipe portions with each other. The engagement device, in use, prevents the first and second pipe portions from rotating relative to each other. The engagement device is also configured to selectively disengage the first and second pipe portions from each other. The engagement device, in use, permits the first and second pipe portions to rotate relative to each other. A clamp assembly is configured to selectively clamp the first elongated portion and the second elongated portion with each other.

The present invention is in connection with the field of the cycling industry, and in particular it refers to a steering system for a bicycle, more specifically to a fixing arrangement between the steering system and the fork of the bicycle. The fixing arrangement according to the invention is advantageously, but not necessarily, adapted for association with a suspension of the single-stem type adapted to be arranged inside the steering head tube and specially conceived, thanks to its compactness, to equip road “racing” bikes.

A motorcycle handlebar riser having upper and lower members. The upper member has a proximal end and a distal end. A first vertical plane laterally bisects the upper member. The upper member distal end has a bar bed to hold a handlebar. The upper member proximal end has a generally flat first attachment face oriented at a predetermined angle relative to the first vertical plane. The lower member has a proximal end and a distal end that releasably attaches to the motorcycle front fork. A second vertical plane laterally bisects the lower member. The lower member proximal end has a generally flat second attachment face oriented at a predetermined angle relative to the second vertical plane. The riser assembles in a first configuration when the attachment faces are axially aligned in one orientation and assembles in a second configuration when the attachment faces are axially aligned in a different orientation.

A stem that can be folded laterally instantaneously about a vertical or near-vertical axis for a bicycle that allows storage/transportation/parking and constituting an anti-theft system. The width of the bicycle is minimized at the handlebar and optionally makes it un-rideable. The foldable stem, supporting a handlebar, that instantaneously folds the handlebar along the bicycle, and is optionally ergonomically adjustable. The foldable stem includes a stem body secured in a hyperstatic manner by an optionally quick-release tightener to a steering pivot. The stem body directly or indirectly supporting at least one substantially vertical rotation bearing on which the stem arm can oscillate. The handlebar stem simplifies and optionally protects the storage, transport and parking of the bicycle.
