There is provided a vehicle including: a grip to be operated rotationally; and a traveling operation switch including a pressed portion. The pressed portion has a portion extending in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis of the grip. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a vehicle in which the traveling operation switch is easily operated even when the output adjusting grip is largely rotated to the output-increasing side.

An electronic throttle control assembly for a vehicle has a housing that mounts to a handlebar of the vehicle and defines an interior. A rack gear is mounted in the interior for movement in a linear, translational, and/or radial direction. A pinion gear within the interior moves the rack gear upon rotation of the pinion gear. A sensor target is coupled to the rack gear. A sensor detects a position of the sensor target and generates an electric signal for a vehicle control unit. A grip is coupled to the pinion gear, rotation of the grip moving the rack gear and sensor target in a linear, translational, and/or radial direction, the electric signal varying based on the change in position of the sensor target. Opposing springs within the housing resist movement of the rack gear and rest in a normally preloaded state.

A system for controlling a vehicle fitted with electrical controls, the control system includes a handgrip mounted on a shaft and fitted with a position sensor and with a return spring which is fixed by one end to the handgrip so as to generate a return moment that opposes the twisting of the handgrip. The system includes at least one actuator able to move a cam mounted on the shaft and able to: modify the preload of the return spring according to the position of the cam to which the other end of the return spring is fixed, and/or modify the travel of the handgrip by collaborating with an end stop of the handgrip, the end stop coming into contact with a cam at the end of the travel.

The invention relates to an adjustable-compression suspension kit for a wheeled vehicle, comprising a first suspension with adjustable compression (24), a second suspension with adjustable compression (26), an actuator device (32) for actuating the first and second suspensions, a first cable (34) connected to the actuator device and to the first suspension, a second cable (36) connected to the actuator device and to the second suspension; the actuator device (32) being configured to move the first cable (34) in a first direction while moving the second cable (36) in a second direction in order to increase compression of the first and second suspensions (24, 26). Characteristically, the actuator device is configured to move the first cable in the second direction while moving the second cable in the first direction, in order to reduce the compression of the first and second suspensions.

A system is provided for shifting gears in a cycle. The shifter system includes a motor that delivers a torque to propel the cycle. A variable ratio transmission is coupled with the motor. A cable transmits movement to shift the variable ratio transmission. A cable pulley is connected with the cable and is rotated to move the cable. A lever is coupled with the cable pulley and imparts rotation to the cable pulley. A sensor is positioned to detect an initial input on the lever that does not rotate the cable pulley. A controller interrupts the torque from the motor in response to the initial input and prior to a shift in response to the transmission of movement by the cable.

A miniature vehicle includes a chassis frame, front and rear wheel assemblies operatively coupled at front and rear ends of the chassis frame respectively, a motorized assembly supported on the chassis frame to power the rear wheel assembly, and a foot steering arrangement operatively coupled to the front wheel assembly. Therefore, the user is able to control the miniature vehicle by the feet of the user to precisely steer and control the miniature vehicle.

The present disclosure provides a cable-controlled adjusting apparatus. The cable-controlled adjusting apparatus includes an adjusting element rotatably joined with the fastening element of a handlebar of a bicycle and a fixing element. A stopping wall is disposed on the adjusting element. A plurality of first grooves is disposed on the stopping wall. The fixing element includes a rod body passing through the adjusting element and an elastic element and includes a head portion pressing against the stopping wall. A plurality of second grooves is disposed on the head portion toward the adjusting element. A ball is sandwiched between the first and second grooves. The elastic element is located between a stopping member and the stopping wall. A cable passes through the fixing element. One end of the cable is fixed to the head portion and the other end passes through the fastening element and is connected to a controller.

A two-way gear shift system 300 for a pedally propelled vehicle comprising; a two-way gear shift operator 100 comprising a two-way wire spool 120 fixed to the shift handle, comprising first, second and third spool plates 130, 140, 150, a two-way gear shift actuator 200, first and second shift cables 310, 320 comprising shift wires interconnecting the two-way gear shift operator and the two-way gear shift actuator.
