An electric motorcycle is provided. The electric motorcycle includes a frame, a battery, a motor electronically connected to the battery, a chain connecting the motor to a rear wheel, and a dual-sided swing arm configured to maintain the rear wheel, the dual-sided swing arm comprising a right side swing arm spar and a left side swing arm spar, the dual-sided swing arm joined to the frame at a pivot point forward of the rear wheel. The motor is positioned within the dual-sided swing arm at a motor location between the pivot point and the rear wheel.

The integrated tank and compressor mounting system for a motorcycle has a mount block which has a mounting face, and a compressor clamp. The mount block has a threaded cylindrical section which forms a tank mount for mounting a tank. The tank has a cylindrical tubular section closed at one end and threaded at the other end such that the tank threads correspond to the mount block threads. The tank provides air for an air suspension which includes a forward suspension unit activated by air and an aft suspension unit activated by air. A supply line connects the tank air volume to an inlet valve on the suspension control unit. The suspension control unit has a cylindrical forward control valve passage and the forward control valve passage has a forward transfer chamber.

In a vehicle suspension, a preload is adjusted by selective engagement of cam surfaces of different heights with a cam receiving part by rotation of an adjuster part, the adjuster part includes a vertical wall part erected in an axial direction of a spring from a spring receiving part and an engaging part with which a tool to rotate the adjuster part is to be engaged, and the engaging part includes a first engaging part formed by a gap between the plurality of vertical wall parts disposed separately from each other in a circumferential direction of the adjuster part and a second engaging part formed by a hole penetrating the vertical wall part.

A valve mechanism includes: a cylindrical body; a plurality of valve bodies; and a drive valve. The drive valve includes a shaft portion having therein a flow path penetrating in the axial direction, and a step portion extending from an outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion to a radial outside of the shaft portion. The shaft portion has a tip portion which extends further on the cylindrical body side than the step portion. An outer diameter of the tip portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the step portion. A gap between the valve bodies is changed by elastically deforming an inner peripheral portion of the valve body, which comes into contact with the drive valve moved in a direction approaching the valve body, in a direction approaching the cylindrical body with respect to an outer peripheral portion of the valve body.

This control system comprises: a control device which, while a vehicle is driven, receives power to control the operation of a moving part and which, while the vehicle is stopped, does not receive power; and a system which is capable of communicating with the control device, and which, when the vehicle is stopped, receives power so as to be capable of ascertaining first information pertaining to time or which is capable of acquiring, during the driving, second information pertaining to times before and after when the vehicle was stopped. When the vehicle is restarted after being stopped, the control device uses at least one of the first information and the second information received from the system to ascertain the time elapsed while the vehicle was stopped, and uses the elapsed time to control the operation of the moving part.

The saddle-ride vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame; a hydraulic braking device that brakes a rear wheel; and a reservoir tank that stores a brake fluid of the braking device, the reservoir tank being supported on the vehicle body frame via a bracket, the reservoir tank being covered from an outside in a vehicle width direction by the vehicle body frame.

A suspension unit has a piston assembly connected to an adjuster. The piston assembly has three or more concentric cylindrical bodies including: an outer tube; an inner tube, and a dampener rod. The dampener rod is inside and concentric to the inner tube. The outer tube is rigidly connected to the dampener rod. The inner tube is telescopically mounted to the outer tube. The inner tube is inside and concentric to the outer tube. The adjuster has an adjuster compression entry port. The axle clamp rebound port connects to an adjuster block rebound entry port. The adjuster block has a high-speed compression cavity formed on an end of the adjuster block.

A valve mechanism includes an orifice collar having a hollow portion penetrating in an axial direction, a valve body having a central hole and an opening portion which penetrate in the axial direction and arranged so as to come into contact with an axial end surface of the orifice collar, and a drive valve which is movable in the axial direction and is arranged on an opposite side of the orifice collar with the valve body as a boundary, where the valve body includes spoke valves, each of which includes an outer frame portion, an inner frame portion, and a plurality of spoke portions connecting the outer frame portion 74 and the inner frame portion, and a protective valve which protects the spoke portion when the spoke portion of the spoke valve is deformed.

A straddle type electric vehicle comprises a main frame, a motor unit including an electric motor, a battery that supplies power to the motor unit, and a control unit that executes drive control of the motor unit. The main frame includes a left and right pair of portions, and at least a portion of the motor unit is disposed at a position overlapping the main frame in a side view of the vehicle.

A battery-centric virtual grid system may include battery modules, each including: one or more battery cells, one or more processors that obtain performance information from the one or more battery cells, the one or more processors configured to identify a respective device being powered by the respective modules from the plurality based on the respective performance information and to determine characteristics of the respective device being powered by the respective module from the plurality based on the performance information or configured to receive data from the respective device powered by the module from the plurality, the one or more transceivers configured to remotely receive and transmit data, thus the respective device becoming part of an IOT network via the respective module, and an enclosure at least partially enclosing the one or more battery cells, the one or more module processors, and the one or more transceivers.
