Bicycle light systems and methods

Bicycle light systems and methods operate to project multicolor lighting patterns on the front and/or rear of the torso of a bicycle rider. Multicolor light schemes provide increased visibility, accentuate the rider's form, and provide the rider with an enjoyable and thrilling riding experience. Low light intensity configurations effectively operate to light the rider's body while not shining excessive amounts of light other riders. Light housing configurations prevent unwanted light from reaching the rider's eyes, and limit the illumination patterns to desired locations on the rider's torso.

Handlebar Systems and Method

A handlebar system; the system provides a multi-functional handlebar component for a cycle or similar vehicle. Versions of the system include a housing containing a battery; a handlebar mount configured to attach to the cycle, a subcomponent housing; an energy storage module mechanically coupled to the subcomponent housing; a user interface fixed to the subcomponent housing, and including a speaker, a microphone, and at least one manual input, the user interface adapted to communicate a command from a user; a communication module fixed to the subcomponent housing and electrically coupled to the energy storage module, the communication module including a transceiver electrically coupled to the energy storage module, the transceiver configured to communicate with at least one external communication network wirelessly; and a memory electrically coupled to the energy storage module.

LIGHT ASSEMBLY

An improved light assembly includes aligned directional light sources mounted one behind another. A distal one of the light sources occludes light emitted from a proximal one of the light sources. A reflector is interposed between the light sources, with a convex surface facing the proximal one of the light sources. Thus, the light assembly projects a light field extending at least through an 180 hemisphere, and up to about 270 backwards from the forward orientation of the light field, well-illuminating lateral approaches to the assembly.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING DEVICE INTEGRATED WITH BICYCLE

The present invention relates to a multifunctional lighting apparatus for a bicycle, which includes: a lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit detachably mounted on a steering unit of a bicycle; an ascending/descending movement body part vertically movably located in the lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit; and a main lighting lamp unit located in the ascending/descending movement body part and irradiating light, and as a result, a lighting lamp unit can be located at a position desired by a driver by adjusting a height of the lighting lamp unit, thereby enhancing both satisfaction and safety in use.

Micro-mobility fleet vehicle cockpit assembly systems and methods

A cockpit assembly for a micro-mobility fleet vehicle may include at least two visible and at least partially opposed faces linked by a fold aligned along an axis of a handlebar assembly, such as a first face, a second face, and an intermediate portion connecting the first face to the second face. The first face may include a headlight assembly. The second face may include a display of a user interface that is arranged to face a rider of the fleet vehicle. The display may be disposed adjacent to and/or beneath a mobile device holder. The first face, the second face, and the intermediate portion may wrap at least partially around the handlebar assembly to position the first face towards a front of the fleet vehicle and the second face towards a rear, a rider, and/or a seat of the fleet vehicle.

Compact, waterproof rechargeable light assembly

A bicycle light has in one embodiment a mounting base to connect to the bicycle, and an LED light unit for insertion into and removal from the base. The light unit includes a printed circuit board with LED driver and a rechargeable battery, all of which are encapsulated by a direct overmolding that forms a casing for the unit. For charging the light unit is pulled out from the base and plugged into a USB port via an extending USB blade. A motion detector on the PCB shuts off the LED if no motion is detected for several minutes, thus eliminating need for any exterior switch. Another embodiment is without the USB blade, with the battery charged by inductive charging.
