The present application discloses a portable charging device for transportation. The portable charging device comprises a body, a solar panel and a connector. The solar panel is coupled to the body. The connector is coupled to the body, the solar panel and an electronic device, wherein the solar panel is capable of charging the electronic device. A charging system is also disclosed. The charging system comprises a bike and a portable charging device coupled to the bike. The portable charging device comprises a body, a solar panel and a connector. The solar panel is coupled to the body. The connector is coupled to the body, the solar panel and an electronic device, wherein the solar panel is capable of charging the electronic device.

Lighting devices and sets comprising multiple lighting devices are described. The lighting device may include a housing, at least one light source such as a light-emitting diode (LED), a rechargeable battery, optionally a microprocessor, and at least one solar panel. The lighting device may include a mount configured to secure the lighting device to a support, such as a frame or other portion of a vehicle or other device. The set of lighting devices may include first and second lighting devices, each including a light source, optionally wherein the light sources may emit different colors of light.

The active lighting device of a bicycle includes a first optical system with a first light source for long-distance illumination, controlled by a control unit, and a second optical system with a second light source for short-distance illumination, controlled by the control unit. It includes a light sensor for determining the light intensity of a location in which the bicycle is situated and allows the control unit to adapt the light intensity of the light sources, if they are activated and if the ambient light intensity is below a determined light threshold. Moreover, a speed sensor is provided for determining the speed of the bicycle in use on a path, so that the control unit controls the activation of the first light source from at least one determined speed threshold. An orientation detector is provided for orienting the light sources depending on a curve travelled by the bicycle in use.

An integrated bicycle lighting assembly which allows for both frontward and rearward bicycle illumination that can be fixed to the bicycle via rivet or bolt and which is adjustable, controllable via a controller on the handlebar, and includes a power source which has the ability to be removed or coupled with a solar panel or dyno generator.

A modular system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a casing with an accessory. Self-alignment of the casing and the accessory may provide a secure connection of the casing with the accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the casing against the accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the casing towards the accessory.

A intelligent headlight system for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a bicycle body; a portable terminal which may be carried by a rider of the bicycle body and has a GPS module, for detecting the location information of the bicycle body, so as to measure the running speed on the basis of the location information of the bicycle body; and a headlight apparatus which is disposed on the bicycle body so as to cast light on the scene ahead of the bicycle body, is communicatably connected to the portable terminal so as to receive the running speed of the bicycle body, and is formed such that irradiation patterns may vary in accordance with the running speed of the bicycle body.

A bicycle frame including frame struts, an electric motor, one compartment for a power supply unit and multiple supply cables for a front light and a rear light which are fastened by a multiple-part adapter arrangement with a bicycle-side adapter part and a lighting device-side adapter part.
