A hybrid vehicle includes an engine that drives first wheel, and a motor that drives second wheel. The hybrid vehicle includes (1) a minute speed launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as a drive source, (2) a sudden launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven by the engine and motor as the drive source, and (3) a smooth launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as the drive source in an early stage, is driven by the engine and motor in a middle stage, and is driven only by the engine in a late stage, and if an operation amount of an acceleration instruction unit is not 0 or is substantially not 0, any one of the support modes is executed according to an operation status of the acceleration instruction unit.

A riding lawn mower comprising, a pair of rear drive wheels, a pair of front wheels, a deck positioned between the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear drive wheels, a rotatable cutting blade, and multiple battery packs removably coupled to the riding lawn mower and structured to provide power to the riding lawn mower, each battery pack graspable and removable by a user, wherein the multiple battery packs sequentially provide power to the riding lawn mower.

An off-highway recreational vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll-over protection system (ROPS), The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide power to the ground engaging members, wherein the CVT is cooled via air captured by a CVT intake body located adjacent the driver-side seat, between the frame and external panels of the utility vehicle.

A continuously variable transmission (“CVT”) is provided for use on a recreational or utility vehicle. The CVT is electronically controlled by a control unit of the vehicle. The CVT includes a primary clutch having a first sheave, a second sheave movable relative to the first sheave, and a friction clutch. An actuator assembly is configured to actuate the primary clutch and cause movement of the second sheave.

The present disclosure discloses an all-terrain vehicle. The all-terrain vehicle includes: a signal acquirer; an engine; an engine controller; a first differential; a first wheel; a driving motor; a motor controller; a battery power source electrically connected with the driving motor; a second differential in transmission connection with the driving motor; and second wheels in transmission connection with the second differential and are located at both lateral sides of the second differential. Therefore, by connecting and matching the first differential, the engine, the driving motor and the second differential with the corresponding components, the hybrid all-terrain vehicle allows intelligent four-wheel drive, reduces energy consumption, and has a compact and reasonable structure.

A controllable differential system for a vehicle includes a differential that may be disengaged or engaged, and may further be locked when engaged. A differential lock switch has three positions for sending commands to an actuator for disengaging or engaging the differential and for sending commands to a controller for unlocking and locking the differential. The vehicle includes a motor, a transmission continuously connected to a rear drivetrain, and the differential mounted in a front drivetrain. The vehicle may be driven in rear-wheel drive mode when the differential is disengaged or in four-wheel drive mode when the differential is engaged. The vehicle may enforce a vehicle speed limitation or an engine speed limitation when the differential is locked while a manual override control is not activated. The vehicle may implement an anti-lock braking system that may be disabled when the differential is locked.

An air scoop device having a sidewall longitudinally defined by a leading edge and a trailing edge, the sidewall extending between a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion, the bottom portion and sidewall define an interior space; an inner portion extending approximately orthogonally from a distal end of the bottom portion, wherein the inner portion further defines the interior space; the top portion having a top leading edge and a top trailing edge; a top cutout extending from the top trailing edge to a top distal end of the top portion; the bottom portion having a bottom leading edge and a bottom training edge; and bottom cutout extending from the trailing edge to the inner portion. The present invention may be configured in a kit of two air scoop devices and a set of installation instructions.

An all-terrain vehicle (“ATV”) comprising a frame, a plurality of ground engaging members supporting the frame, a straddle seat coupled to the frame for supporting at least one rider, a powertrain assembly operably coupled to the ground engaging members, the powertrain assembly comprising an engine, a storage container coupled to the frame at a position rearward of the straddle seat, an exterior surface of the storage container including an indentation, and a fuel system fluidly coupled to the engine, the fuel system including a fuel tank, a fuel vapor line fluidly coupling the fuel tank to the engine, and an evaporation canister positioned along the fuel vapor line, wherein the evaporation canister is positioned within the indentation in an exterior surface of the storage container.

A two-seater off-road vehicle includes a travel vehicle body that is supported on the ground by a front wheel unit and a rear wheel unit, and a boarding part disposed above a vehicle body frame included in the travel vehicle body. The boarding part includes: a driver seat; a steering operation tool in front of the driver seat; and a passenger seat of a saddle seat type behind the driver seat.

An apparatus and methods are provided for a rear portal trailing arm assembly for a vehicle rear suspension. The trailing arm assembly comprises a CV joint hub for coupling with a transaxle and a wheel hub for coupling with a rear wheel. A gear transfer case extends rearward from the CV joint hub to an axle case and functions similarly to a rear trailing arm. Forward mounts facilitate coupling the gear transfer case to the chassis such that the trailing arm assembly pivots vertically with respect to the chassis. A rearward mount facilitates coupling a strut with the gear transfer case to control the vertical motion of the rear wheel. Multiple gear assemblies are meshed within the gear transfer case. An axle is coupled with the meshed gear assemblies and housed within the axle case, such that torque applied to the CV joint hub is communicated to the wheel hub.
