A body posture detection device comprises: a correction value calculation unit that sequentially calculates a correction value for estimating a roll angle of a vehicle body on the basis of a variable correction coefficient set according to a determination of a state determination unit and detection values of a speed sensor and a detection unit; and a roll angle estimation value calculation unit that calculates an estimation value of a current roll angle of the vehicle body by integrating a value obtained by correcting an estimation value of a roll angular velocity on the basis of the correction value. The correction value calculation unit sets the variable correction coefficient so as to reduce the correction value when the parameter exceeds a threshold.

A tilt control system for a sidecar and a motorcycle. The tilt control system can include a main frame, a tilting frame, and an actuator. The actuator can be coupled to the main frame and to the tilting frame, and can be configured to control tilting of the tilting frame relative to the main frame. The tilt control system can include a sensor, and a controller in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The controller can be configured to determine an operating parameter based on sensor data received from the sensor, compare the operating parameter to a threshold criteria, and cause the actuator to control the orientation of the tilting frame relative to main frame, based on the comparison of the operating parameter to the threshold criteria.

A human-powered vehicle control device is a control device of a human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control an electric component that is different from a motor providing a propelling force to the human-powered vehicle and that is provided in the human-powered vehicle. The electric component is controlled in accordance with a total driving force including a human-power driving force applied to a drive train of the human-powered vehicle and an assistance force by the motor.

Electric bikes (“e-bikes”) configured to achieve automatic and dynamic ride control based on a rider's desired ride objective without requiring direct physical inputs from the rider during the ride are disclosed. A rider specifies, via her mobile device or a device integrated with the e-bike, various input parameters representative of a desired ride objective. An objective-based ride control algorithm is then executed to determine—based on sensor information indicative of input variables such as pedal cadence, vehicle speed, current transmission position, electric motor power, GPS location, terrain elevation, and the like—settings for controlled variables such as transmission ratio, motor assist level, braking force, and/or suspension pressure in order to support the rider's desired ride objective, as represented by the specified input parameters. As such, a rider achieves a desired ride experience without having to directly manipulate controlled variables during the ride.

A method, a device, and a two-wheeler including a device of this type, in which at least one wear parameter that represents the wear of at least one wear part or a component of the two-wheeler is generated, determined, or ascertained. It may be provided that a shared wear parameter for multiple wear parts or in each case separate wear parameters for individual wear parts is/are generated, determined, or formed. Typical components on a two-wheeler, in particular on a bicycle, that may be subject to wear include the brake pads, the brake disks, a sprocket, a chainring, a chain, or a tire. In addition, brake fluid in a hydraulic brake may also be subject to wear, it being possible for the brake fluid to absorb either air, water, or dirt, thus impairing the responsiveness of the pressure transfer.

A device for determining an accident of personal mobility in real time, a system for rapidly identifying and coping with the accident, and a method for determining the accident of the personal mobility are provided. The device includes a sensor device that obtains at least one of an angle between the personal mobility and a ground, an amount of impact on the personal mobility, or a speed of the personal mobility, and a determination device that determines whether the accident of the personal mobility has occurred based on the at least one of the angle, the amount of impact, or the speed.

A rough road detection system is disclosed. The system includes a sensor data receiver to receive sensor data from one or more sensors monitoring a vehicle. A sensor data evaluator to: identify a repeating pattern in the sensor data, the repeating pattern indicative of a terrain type being traversed by the vehicle, determine a value of the repeating pattern, obtain a present set of operational values for at least one damping characteristic of an active valve damper coupled with the vehicle, and modify the present set of operational values for the at least one damping characteristic of the active valve damper based on the value of the repeating pattern to develop a modified set of operational values for the at least one damping characteristic of the active valve damper.
