To provide an attachment structure of a smart key unit for a motorcycle that can reduce a size of an attachment structure of a smart key unit around a head pipe. In an attachment structure of a smart key unit for a motorcycle that can cause an engine of a motorcycle to be in a startable state under a condition that an ID code transmitted from a smart key K that can be carried by a driver matches a normal ID code, the smart key unit is attached at a position in the rear of a head pipe included in a vehicle, and the smart key unit is arranged in a state in which a longitudinal direction M thereof is substantially orthogonal to a back and forth direction of the vehicle.

A handlebar arrangement for a vehicle is provided, having a fork bridge, an ignition steering lock and a retention member or holder to which the ignition steering lock is fastened. The retention member is fixed on the fork bridge by fasteners, wherein elastic decoupling elements for shock and/or vibration decoupling are arranged between the fork bridge and the retention member.

An anti-theft apparatus that attaches to a shift lever and a foot rest of a motorcycle includes a shackle that is sized and shaped to extend from the foot rest to the shift lever. The shackle has an open end, a second end opposite of the open end, and two elongate arms that extend between the second end and the open end. A locking mechanism engages with the open end of the shackle to lock the shackle into place around the foot rest and the shift lever. A lock plate is coupled to one of the elongate arms of the shackle. A cross bar plate removably attaches to the open end of the shackle and is configured for being positioned between the locking mechanism and the shift lever when the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle. When the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle, the motorcycle shift lever cannot be operated, thereby deterring theft of the motorcycle.

An anti-theft method for an electric vehicle is provided. The anti-theft method for an electric vehicle includes the following steps. An electronic anti-theft function is activated. Whether the electric vehicle is moving is determined. Whether the temperature of the motor is greater than a critical value is determined. When the temperature of the motor of the electric vehicle exceeds the critical value, the motor is reversed to generate a reverse resistance.

The present invention relates to security systems and methods for vehicles and/or vehicle users that prevent the theft of vehicles, and/or that guarantee the security of the vehicle user. In order to achieve the above, the system of the present invention has an enabling system that controls the ignition of the vehicle, and/or a device for helmets intended for the monitoring of the security of the user, and makes it possible to determine, for example, whether the user is wearing the helmet and is using the same correctly, or whether the vehicle user has suffered an impact. Specifically, the system of the present invention has an interactive system (mobile device) associated with the user which, depending on the need, signals the enabling system to enable the vehicle ignition, provided that at least one condition is fulfilled, where a condition may be that the interactive system is close to the enabling system and/or emits an alert message to the external device of a third party if any novelty is detected in the helmet device.

The invention relates to a device for monitoring a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle (2), configured to be connected to an interface (3) of the motor vehicle (2), the device comprising:—a processor (1a) associated with a memory (1b),—a geolocation module (1c),—a vibration detection module (1d) and/or a fall detection module (1f),—a mobile application module (1g) for exchanging information on the vehicle with a mobile application server (4),—a silent alert module (1i) via the mobile application server (4) according to vibration detection module data (1d) or fall detection module data (1f), characterized by:—a mobile internet network connection module (1i),—an audible alarm (5), and in that the mobile application module (1g) is configured to remotely control the audible alarm (5).

A double-security anti-theft emergency switch, specially suitable for batteryless race motor vehicles comprising a fixed assembly integral with the vehicle and cooperating with a movable key which is tied up to the driver by means of an even partially elastic lace, is disclosed. The double security is bound to the presence of a first normally closed switch whose opening, via the movable key, is necessary to disconnect the ignition circuit of the motorcycle from ground and to allow the engine to start-up, so as to produce the electrical power necessary for an RFID system to monitor a transponder comprised in the movable key. Should the outcome of this transponder test be unsuccessful, a second normally open switch would be closed and would ground the ignition circuit of the engine and lock the motorcycle.

A method for controlling an electric vehicle and the electric vehicle are provided. The method includes: under a condition in which the electric vehicle is in unlocked and motor control shielded states, first predetermined information is detected, wherein the first predetermined information is used for indicating that a rider is located on the electric vehicle; the electric vehicle is controlled to switch from the motor control shielded state to a motor control unshielded state; a predetermined control signal is received in the motor control unshielded state; and a motor of the electric vehicle is controlled to rotate according to a rotational speed corresponding to the predetermined control signal. With the disclosure, the problems of complex operation and poor user experience of a manner for controlling the electric vehicle in the related art are solved.

A vehicle is equipped with a docking station for a driver's smart device. The smart device displays engine related and other information to the driver while operating the vehicle. The smart device provides a supplementary screen to the screen installed in the vehicle at manufacture, or acts as an alternative to having a screen installed at manufacture. The docked smart device replaces one or more of the instruments normally present in a vehicle dashboard or motorcycle instrument cluster. The smart device also controls operation of the vehicle.
