A locking system is used to safely immobilize electric motorcycles. The system involves a pin-based locking device that can be activated by the user via a key, remote and/or a switch located on the dashboard of the electric motorcycle. The locking device engages the pin with a component that is rotated by the transmission of the electric motorcycle. When activated, the locking device locks the transmission and prevents the motorcycle from being subjected to unwanted driving wheel rotation.

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.

The present disclosure relates to security mechanisms for electric motors and associated systems. For example, the present technology includes a powertrain assembly having (1) a motor having multiple sets of coils; (2) a drive circuitry electrically coupled to the multiple sets of coils; and (3) a security unit electrically coupled to the drive circuitry and the multiple sets of coils. The security unit is configured to short-circuit at least one set of the multiple sets of coils responsive to a signal from a controller. The signal indicates that the motor is, or has been, turned off.

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 disclosed computer-implemented method may include a magnetic insertable lock component with a magnet-sensing lock housing. By using a magnet within a pin and a magnetic field sensor within the lock housing, the apparatus may accurately detect the state of the lock. In some embodiments, the apparatus may determine the pin is inserted fully into the lock, the pin is inserted partially into the lock, the pin is not inserted in the lock, and/or that a foreign object that is not the pin is inserted into the lock. By using a magnet within the pin to track the state of the lock, the apparatus may improve both the user experience and the security of the lock. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
