Bicycle control device
A bicycle control device includes a housing member, a control lever member, a shift-operating mechanism and a hydraulic fluid pressure generator. The housing member has an attachment part for attachment to a handlebar, and a grip part extending longitudinally between first and second ends of the grip part. The attachment part is provided on the first end of the grip part. The attachment part is provided on the first end of the grip part. The control lever member is pivotally provided with respect to the housing member. The shift-operating mechanism is supported by the housing member. The shift-operating mechanism includes a control cable attachment part that is configured to be coupled to a shifting device by a control cable. The hydraulic fluid pressure generator has a cylinder provided in the grip part of the housing member, and a piston movably disposed within the cylinder by movement of the control lever member to generate fluid pressure for controlling a braking device. The cylinder is disposed closer to the second end of the grip part than the shift-operating mechanism.
Bicycle operating device
A bicycle operating device for operating at least one bicycle component. The bicycle operating device includes a base member configured to be mounted on a bicycle handlebar that defines a handlebar axis and a first operating member rotatably supported on the base member about the bicycle handlebar when the base member is mounted on the bicycle handlebar. The first operating member is configured to be at least partially adjustably supported on the base member.

Master cylinder
An improved master cylinder for use with a hydraulic clutch or hydraulic brake system. The master cylinder has a master cylinder body defining a bore. A piston is configured to slide in the bore when an actuation lever is compressed by a user. Sliding of the piston as a result of the depression of the lever causes the piston to depress a spring and to increase hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic line leading to the brake or clutch. A spring is configured to return the piston when pressure is released from the actuation lever. The master cylinder body in some embodiments is configured for lateral position adjustment relative to a mounting bracket. In some embodiments the master cylinder has a reservoir. The reservoir can be oriented at a tilted angle relative to the body of the master cylinder. In further embodiments the master cylinder has an outlet nut that is configured for attachment to the hydraulic line. The outlet nut is configured such that removal of the outlet nut allows for access to the bore, including the spring and piston.
DIRECT-DRIVE DOUBLE WING SCOOTER
A direct-drive double wing scooter includes a frame, an actuation assembly, a drive assembly, and a transmission assembly. The actuation assembly includes left and right swing wings each pivoted close to a front end of the frame through a pivot. The drive assembly includes a first turning shaft and a second turning shaft penetrating two sides of the frame. A distance between the first turning shaft and the pivot is defined as a first distance. A distance between a rear end of the right swing wing is defined as a second distance, or a distance between a rear end of the left swing wing is defined as a second distance. The first distance is in the range of 0.10-0.65 times the length of the second distance. The direct-drive double wing scooter provides a simple and reliable drive way and has transportation, amusement and fitness effects.
ABS hydraulic unit
To improve the degree of freedom with which an ABS hydraulic unit is attached to a handlebar, an ABS hydraulic unit includes a main housing that has at least part of a hydraulic circuit formed inside and is equipped with a mounting portion for mounting a brake lever and an attachment portion having at least part of a side surface of a through hole formed along a first direction, the through hole being for attaching the ABS hydraulic unit to a handlebar. The ABS hydraulic unit also includes a master cylinder that has a piston portion that moves in conjunction with the brake lever, the master cylinder being for increasing, with the movement of the piston portion, the pressure of brake fluid inside the hydraulic circuit. A piston insertion hole that extends in the moving direction of the piston portion and is for inserting the master cylinder is formed in the main housing along a second direction that intersects, but is not orthogonal to, the first direction.
