A rack system configured to be mounted onto a side of a vehicle for carrying a container, the rack system having: bracket arms having: a top mounting hole; arm plate mounting holes; arm clamp mounting holes; mounting blocks having: a center block hole; outer block holes; a mounting plate having: inner plate holes; outer plate holes; clamps having: clamp center holes; each mounting block being configured to be mounted onto the vehicle via a first securing means through the outer block holes; each upper arm end being configured to be mounted onto the mounting blocks via a second securing means through the top mounting hole; each bottom arm end being configured to be mounted onto the side via a third securing means through the clamp center holes; and the mounting plate being configured to be mounted onto the bracket arms via a fourth securing means through the outer plate holes.

A compartment for storing an energy source in a vehicle having a protective outer structure and an inner structure. The protective outer structure is maintained in position relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. The inner structure, which holds the energy source, is positioned in the outer structure. The inner structure is maintained in position relative to the outer structure and relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. During an impact to the vehicle, the inner structure is configured to move independent of the outer structure.

A hybrid vehicle may include a battery and a fuel tank, wherein the battery is mounted in a space defined under a body floor, on which a double seat is disposed, and the fuel tank is disposed over an upper end portion of a rear-wheel suspension and a rear of a body cross member.

A fuel tank assembly for a motorcycle. The fuel tank assembly includes a fuel tank defining a fuel containment volume. The fuel tank has an upper wall. A fuel cap is operable to selectively open and close the fuel containment volume. A motorcycle accessory is attachable to the fuel tank via a connection structure including first and second connection portions that are complementary and inter-engageable together to positively define a fully-secured state. The first connection portion is secured to an exterior surface of the upper wall of the fuel tank, and the second connection portion is secured to the motorcycle accessory. The connection structure defines a finite position and rotational orientation of the motorcycle accessory upon relative rotation of the motorcycle accessory with respect to the fuel tank to the fully secured state.
