A method for lateral dynamic stabilization of a single-track motor vehicle during cornering; on the left side of the vehicle, the motor vehicle including at least one first nozzle, which is mounted at a first position located between the wheels, and through which a medium situated in a first container may escape into the surroundings of the motor vehicle, with a speed component pointed in the outer direction of the left side of the vehicle; and on the right side of the vehicle, the motor vehicle including at least one second nozzle, which is mounted at a second position located between the wheels, and through which a medium situated in a second container may escape into the surroundings of the motor vehicle, with a speed component pointed in the outer direction of the right side of the vehicle; where a presence of an unstable driving condition in a lateral direction of the vehicle is detected, andas a function of this, with the aid of an actuator system, on only one side of the vehicle, the medium is caused to escape through the at least one nozzle mounted on this side of the vehicle, in order to stabilize the motor vehicle.

An auto-balancing transportation device configured for being ridden in a foot forward or sideways standing position. The rider platform has front and rear foot platform areas and two connecting members, located on opposite lateral sides of the device, that couple the front and rear platform areas. Two drive wheels are located under or through the platform. The front and/or rear platform areas are movable or twistable so as to alter the fore-aft tilt of one or more of the connecting members. Position sensors associated with each connecting member are used to drive a corresponding drive wheel. In this manner, differences in fore-aft tilt angle of the two connecting members achieves a turning of the device.

Provided is a vehicle that performs position control in accordance with a travel condition such as turning or a change in a road surface. In a vehicle according to the present invention that can be propelled by an activating force of a driver, at least one of a front wheel section and a rear wheel section is structured from a left/right pair of wheels, a condition of the vehicle is detected, the rotational force of each of the pair of wheels can be controlled independently of one another in response to the detection, and the pair of wheels are attached to the vehicle via a suspension mechanism.

A leaning vehicle includes an actuator control unit that causes an actuator to generate an actuator torque in a counterclockwise direction based on a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the case where a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the counterclockwise direction is generated by a rider performing one operation of a right-grip-pushing-force increasing operation, a left-grip-pulling-force increasing operation, a right-grip-pulling-force reducing operation, and a left-grip-pushing-force reducing operation. The actuator control unit causes the actuator to generate an actuator torque in a clockwise direction based on a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the case where a bar-handle-rotation-moment change amount in the clockwise direction is generated by a rider performing one operation of a left-grip-pushing-force increasing operation, a right-grip-pulling-force increasing operation, a left-grip-pulling-force reducing operation, and a right-grip-pushing-force reducing operation.

A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.

An auto-balancing transportation device having a compact form. Left and right foot platform sections are coupled for fore-aft tilt angle movement relative to one another. Left and right wheels are provided under the respective foot platforms. With a rider's weight directed primarily downward onto the wheels and not onto the coupling structure, the coupling structure may have sufficient space to house the battery. In addition, more efficient and lighter weight supports and bearing arrangements may be used in the coupling structure. Various embodiments are disclosed.

An auto-balancing transportation device having a wheel structure and foot platforms that pivot between an in-use and a stowed position. The pivot axis for each platform is provided within the wheel structure so that the force exerted by a rider when stepping on a foot platform is applied to the wheel structure at a point within the wheel structure, as opposed to external to it, which is unstable and may cause the device to tip over.

A non-backdrivable passive balancing system for a single-axle dynamically balanced robotic device includes a body that includes a distal end and a proximal end, a controller module, and an actuator communicatively coupled to the controller module of the single-axle dynamically balanced robotic device. The actuator receives an engagement signal from the controller module, the engagement signal corresponding to an indication that the dynamically balanced robotic device is stationary, and the actuator causes the linkage to move the body from a disengaged position to an engaged position such that the distal end of the body contacts a ground surface and supports the dynamically balanced robotic device in a substantially upright position.

A control device for a human-powered vehicle including a control unit is provided. The control device controls a telescopic mechanism in accordance with output information related to controlling the telescopic mechanism that is output from a learning model in association with input information related to traveling of the human-powered vehicle. A method for creating the learning model, the learning model, and a computer-readable storage medium are also provided.

A lighting system for a leaning vehicle, comprises a pivot frame configured to be fixed to a light emitting and/or light reflective device, a mount configured to be fixed to a light fitting of a leaning vehicle, and a motor attached to the pivot frame and the mount. The motor is configured to provide rotational movement of the pivot frame relative to the mount. A controller in electrical communication with the motor is configured to receive sensor data of a leaning angle of the leaning vehicle, and the controller is configured to control the motor to rotate the pivot frame to a desired angle relative to the mount based on the leaning angle.
