A seat assembly for a vehicle having a longitudinal axis has a seat pan, a cover support adjacent to the seat pan and a seat cover comprising an upper surface and a first longitudinally extending side surface and a second longitudinally extending side surface. A heating and cooling module is disposed at least partially within the cover support. An air inlet is in communication with the heating and cooling module. The air inlet communicates air from a port in the seat cover to the heating and cooling module. An ambient condition sensor generates an ambient condition signal. A user interface generates a user setting corresponding to a comfort condition. A controller is coupled to the ambient condition sensor and the heating and cooling module. The controller controls the heating and cooling module in response to the user setting and the ambient condition signal.

A vehicle including a system for transferring energy between on-board vehicle components and/or between on-board and external components. The vehicle is configured to heat various components through induction to provide comfort to the rider and/or to transfer energy for charging one or more vehicle components.

Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response to current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.

An apparatus for monitoring a biosignal of a cyclist includes an electrocardiogram measuring sensor measuring an electrocardiogram signal of a cyclist, an electromyogram measuring sensor measuring an electromyogram signal of the cyclist, and a determination module determining muscle fatigue of the cyclist, based on at least one of a change in a heart rate of the measured electrocardiogram signal and a change in a frequency component of the measured electromyogram signal.

A control system includes a detection device and an electronic controller. The detection device is configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver. The electronic controller is configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information.

A bicycle image capturing device is provided that reduces annoying operations for changing an operation state. The bicycle image capturing device includes a controller. The controller includes a reception unit and an electronic control unit. The reception unit is configured to obtain information related to a component of a bicycle. The bicycle component is operable in at least a first state and a second state that differs from the first state. The electronic control unit is configured to control a first image capturing unit based on the information obtained by the reception unit.

The present invention relates to a method for user authentication and theft detection using a smart helmet, and the smart helmet is equipped with multiple user authentication means, and the motorcycle may transition to the key-on state only when all these authentication means are successfully verified, allowing for the authentication of authorized users for motorcycle operation and preventing theft of the motorcycle. Furthermore, by equipping the smart helmet with a means to detect the user's body temperature and transitioning the motorcycle to the ignition state only when the measured body temperature is above a predetermined temperature, it is possible to restrict the operation of the motorcycle for users who are not wearing the helmet, encouraging users to comply with traffic regulations.

A control device is provided for a human-powered vehicle including a vehicle body, and a sensor mounted on the human-powered vehicle for detecting at least one of acceleration or inclination. The control device includes an electronic controller configured to set a virtual inclination angle change of the sensor during riding of a rider based on at least one of vehicle body information on of the human-powered vehicle or load information on a load acting on the human-powered vehicle. At least one of the vehicle body information and the load information can be input from an external control device to the control device.
