Method and device for lateral stabilization for a single-tracked motor vehicle at a standstill

A method for laterally stabilizing a single-tracked motor vehicle, driven with the aid of an electric motor, that is in a vertically aligned state and at a standstill. The front wheel of the motor vehicle has a steering angle in which the electric motor is controlled in such a way that it exerts drive torques on the motor vehicle that act in alternation in the forward direction and in the reverse direction.

Real-time sensor based balance gamification and feedback

A real-time performance management may be used for cycling. A first computing device retrieves profile data related to a cyclist. The first computing device receives sensor readings from one or more sensors. A first sensor of the one or more sensors detects cyclist tilt. Profile data and the sensor readings from the one or more sensors determine cyclist status. A notification based on the determined cyclist status communicates to a user.

20210349465 · 2021-11-11 · ·

Respectively a rider of the autonomous scooter may select a manual drive mode to drive without any assistance, or the rider may control the autonomous scooter remotely by a smartphone when riding or not aboard via a smartphone APP whereby the rider may engage a user interface system providing virtual driving control settings linked with an autonomous drive system to control the autonomous scooter, or the rider can manually control the autonomous scooter. Primarily elements of the autonomous scooter may comprise a platform defined by a front end and a rear end, a deck section to place the rider's feet thereon, and having a base supporting a steering column. Accordingly the steering column is rotatably connected by a motorized wheel adapter configured to turn a suspension fork arrangement containing at least one motorized wheel thus steering and balance control of the autonomous scooter, or the steering column is connected to a truck arrangement containing two motorized wheels, whereby the two motorized wheels provide balance and differential propulsion for steering the autonomous scooter. The motorized wheel adapter and the motorized wheels are systematically controlled by an autonomous drive system adapted to control the autonomous scooter during autonomous drive mode setting.

20230311742 · 2023-10-05 ·

A saddle riding vehicle cornering light structure is provided on a saddle riding vehicle which banks a vehicle body in a rightward-leftward direction and performs cornering, and enlarges an illumination range in a direction to which the vehicle body is banked at the cornering, the structure including: a banking angle detection device that detects a banking angle of the vehicle body using a distance measurement device which measures a distance to a road surface; and a light main body that illuminates the direction to which the vehicle body is banked in accordance with the banking angle detected by the banking angle detection device.

THREE-WHEELED TILTING VEHICLE
20230294766 · 2023-09-21 ·

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.

Three-wheel motor vehicle and control system
11753105 · 2023-09-12 ·

A three-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel assembly attached to a chassis. The chassis includes a rotational control shaft having a rotational axis that is generally directed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rotational control shaft is integrated with or secured to the chassis in a non-rotational manner and passes through the front wheel assembly in a rotationally-free manner, such that the rotational control shaft can rotate about its rotational axis. The front wheel assembly includes one or more lean control motors, which are operably configured to rotate the rotational control shaft about its rotational axis thereby causing the chassis to lean from side to side to improve the handling ability of the vehicle. Some embodiments include a lean control system configured to automatically control the degree of rotation of the chassis.
