Collecting electric scooters
Systems and methods for collecting electric scooters are described herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods facilitate a “snaking” configuration of attaching, coupling, or fixing multiple electric scooters to one another. The snaking configuration enables multiple electric scooters to be collected together and moved to various locations, such as locations where the electric scooters can be rented, serviced, and so on. Further, the systems and methods enable any electric scooter to act as a collecting scooter, and thus a scooter share service or other fleet of scooters can manage the collection and provisioning of scooters in a location without special vehicles or equipment, among other benefits.

Electric scooter
An electric scooter includes: a scooter body; a front fork pivotally arranged on a front side of the scooter body; a front wheel mounted on the front fork; a rear wheel arranged on a rear side of the scooter body; a handlebar including a crossbar and a riser, the crossbar being arranged at an upper end of the riser, and a lower end of the riser being coupled to the front fork; and a left steering light and a right steering light mounted on at least one of the scooter body, the front fork or the handlebar.
ELECTRIC BICYCLE OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM
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 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.
HAND MOUNTED MIRROR AND INDICATOR DEVICE
The invention is a universal safety device for cyclists which can be used by anyone in any country with no modifications. The safety mirror and an indicator device (100) for wearing on a hand comprises: a first face (10A) housing a mirror (20) and a second opposed face (10B) that interfaces a wearer's hand in use. A strap (50) is provided for securing the device to a wearer's hand. A light (30) powered by a battery (70) is arranged on an end (40) of the device (100).
The light (30) and the strap (50) are arranged such that the light (30) projects past the hand of the wearer so that the light (30) is not obstructed by the wearer's hand when viewed from a position in front of the wearer during use. The device (100) has a switch (90) operatively connected to the light (30) to activate the light (30) when triggered.
NAVIGATION SIGNALING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
A navigation signaling system for communicating navigation information of a personal transportation device is provided. The navigation signaling system includes a computer and a navigation system. The computer has at least one display device. The navigation system is coupled to the computer and provides a current position and a course data of the personal transportation device. The computer drives the signal display device to display a directional signal flashing in increasing frequency as a function of proximity of the current position to a turn event in the course data.
LIGHTING SYSTEM
A light projection system for a motorized kick scooter, comprising a light source and a controller. The light source is configured to illuminate a rider of the motorized kick scooter by projecting light onto the rider, and has at least three different light intensity states. Which of the at least three light intensity states the light source operates in is controlled by the controller, and depends on one or more properties of the motorized kick scooter.

LIGHT INDICATOR OF DIRECTION
The present invention relates to a safety system device for the benefit of cyclists, and in general of all drivers of two and three-wheeled and it can also be used by runners, when they circulate in the streets.
The invention comprises a light indicator that is suitable to signal, when a cyclist makes a change of direction, and the rider tries to signal this maneuver by moving outwards the arm corresponding to the side towards which the direction of travel is changing.
This device integrates: a lighting element designed to switch on and off according to an appropriate electrical command, an electrical power supply unit, a triaxial accelerometer and an inclinometer sensor. It also comprises calculation means for processing the signals supplied by the triaxial accelerometer and the inclinometer sensor, carrying out an interpretation of the meaning of the movement of the arm.
SOFTWARE APPLICATION PRODUCT, TRAFFIC SIGNALLING KIT AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING TRAFFIC SIGNALLING
A software application product executable on a mobile device (110) for traffic signalling using a screen (111) of the device (110), in combination with remote activation means (120,130) providing a user interface. The invention further relates to a pocket for accommodating the a device (110) during such signalling. The invention further relates to a kit comprising such a soft-ware application product and optionally such a pocket, as well as to a method for traffic signalling.
