The present invention is an electric mobility vehicle such as a powered knee walker, scooter, bicycle and a multi-passenger vehicle comprising a unique steering column assembly capable of being manually steered also autonomously steered by means of steering actuators. The vehicle user can select a manual drive mode option to operate the vehicle physically or the user can select an autonomous drive mode each mode allows the vehicle to operate more efficiently both indoors and outdoors. The vehicle is configured with a platform for standing, sitting and leaning, and the framework is configured with a front and rear drive system, the front drive system incorporates the steering column and one or more steering actuator which control front and rear propulsion systems. The propulsion includes; a DC powered truck module, a fork module, or a cantilever module, and each respectively comprise a drive motor, brake, sensor and accelerometers for self-balancing control. The steering column controlling system is the main driving force of the vehicle and utilizes wireless interface communication linked to short range proximity sensors including LIDAR or laser sensor unit, cameras, and handlebar throttles comprising grip force sensor to control speed and braking, and other vehicle devices. The steering column and framework contain an array of USB power cabling interconnecting electrical components to an IO communication network and to an electrical control system and battery bank.

A control device is provided for controlling a suspension of a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes comprises an electronic controller. The suspension includes a first member, a second member movable relative to the first member, and an adjustment unit adjusting a relative movable amount of the first member and the second member. The electronic controller is configured to electrically control the adjustment unit in accordance with relative position information related to a relative position of the first member and the second member.

An electrically assisted bicycle includes an electric motor which applies a walk-push assisting torque to a rear wheel of the bicycle when a rider propels the bicycle by pushing it while walking, and a motor controller configured or programmed to execute a first mode in which the electric motor applies no torque to the rear wheel, a second mode in which the electric motor applies to the rear wheel a stay assisting torque which causes the electrically assisted bicycle to stay in a position where the rider wants to stay, and a third mode in which the electric motor applies the walk-push assisting torque to the rear wheel, wherein the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode are able to be selected by using an operator able to be operated by the rider.

An electrically assisted bicycle includes a crank shaft, pedals, an electric motor, a pedal effort sensor that detects a pedal effort exerted on the pedals, a propelling detection sensor that detects that the electrically assisted bicycle is starting to be propelled, and a controller that executes a first control in which a command value provided to the electric motor is obtained based on the output of the pedal effort sensor and a second control in which a command value provided to the electric motor is obtained based on the output of the pedal effort sensor and the output of the propelling detection sensor. The controller is configured or programmed to select the first control or the second control as a calculation method of a command value provided to the electric motor during a period of time from a state in which the electrically assisted bicycle is stopped until a detection of the rotation of the crank shaft.

A bicycle component control system is basically provided with an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to output a control signal to operate both of a first bicycle electric component and a second bicycle electric component in accordance with a correspondence table between an operating state of the first bicycle electric component and an operating state of the second bicycle electric component. The first bicycle electric component includes one of a height adjustable seatpost and a suspension. The second bicycle electric component includes one of a gear transmission and the other of the height adjustable seatpost and the suspension.

Described herein are systems and methods for motorbike collision avoidance. One or more sensors or devices can be used to monitor the operating conditions of a motorbike and, upon a determination that a collision or drop has occurred, or is likely to occur, an alert system can be activated. The alert system can comprise one or more auxiliary illumination devices and/or acoustic devices configured to draw the attention of other motorists. The alert system may aid the other motorists in noticing the motorbike and approximating the motorbike's position, size, distance, or speed. The alert system can also be activated by the motorbike rider to communicate to other motorists that the rider believes a collision is possible or that a situation requires caution.

Disclosed is a self-balancing scooter with a foldable foothold for an additional rider. The self-balancing scooter includes: a housing; a controller mounted inside the housing for controlling running and direction change; motors respectively mounted at both sides of the housing; wheels respectively mounted on shafts of the motors; a battery mounted on the bottom surface of the housing; a riding board mounted on the upper part of the housing to allow a main rider to put feet; a foldable foothold attached to the side wall of the riding board to allow an additional rider to put feet; casters mounted at one side of the foldable foothold; a fitting hole formed at the other side of the foldable foothold; and a bracket assembled to the fitting hole through a rotary shaft and attached to the side wall of the riding board, the bracket having assembly holes.

A bicycle transmission control apparatus is provided that can perform a shift control according to the traveling environment of the bicycle. The bicycle transmission control apparatus includes a controller that operates a transmission according to a parameter that represents a traveling state of a bicycle and predetermined shifting conditions. The controller sets the predetermined shifting condition based on the parameter representing a running state of the bicycle and on a tilt angle of the bicycle.
