ELECTRONIC CONTROL LOCK OF A BICYCLE AND ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED LOCKING/UNLOCKING METHOD OF A BICYCLE
An electronic control lock of a bicycle has an electronic controller, a kickstand lock, and a frame lock. The kickstand lock includes a kickstand and a stand control device. When locking, the stand control device stops the kickstand from being kicked up, causing inconvenience or impossible to ride the bicycle. The frame lock includes an inserting element and a frame control device. When locking, the frame control device makes the inserting element unable to be pulled out. Thus the inserting element can fasten the bicycle with a chain. When unlocking, the stand control device and the frame control device are controlled by the electronic controller, which is controlled by a user, to allow the kickstand being kicked up and the inserting element being pulled out. The kickstand lock and the frame lock can be locked or unlocked without traditional keys.
BICYCLE LOCKING DEVICE
A smart bicycle locking device having a body portion with an operatively associated cable and pin locking mechanism. The cable and pin locking mechanism provides a cable extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the proximal end is pivotable connected to the body portion, and wherein the distal end connects to a locking pin. The body portion provides first and second locking engagement receptacles oriented transverse relative to each other. Each locking engagement receptacle may slidably receive the locking pin, wherein the second locking engagement receptacle is configured to automatically lock the locking pin in a locked position. The pivotable connection facilitates the horseshoe cable being movable between a vertical and a lateral orientation. The locking pin can only be removed from the second locking engagement receptacle via an authorized signal provided to an authorized user.
SECURE VEHICLE LOCKING
An apparatus with a bicycle frame and rear wheel locking system working around a bicycle parking slot or rack is provided. The apparatus may include a container assembly, a block, an arm base, and adjustable arms to support locking for a limited range of bicycles by size. It may be mounted relatively permanently onto a strong flat surface and/or a bicycle slot or rack. It may allow one to lock both wheels and the frame of their bicycle by just carrying their smartphone or registered card.
Systems and methods for magnet-equipped locks
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.

Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Anti-Theft Device For A Bicycle
An anti-theft device for a bicycle includes a fork unit that has a first fork bar and a second fork bar. The first fork bar has a passage and the second fork bar has a receiving opening. A securing element can be arranged in the fork unit to pass through the first fork bar in the passage and engage in the receiving opening. The securing element passes through a spoke region of a front wheel of the bicycle. The securing element has an engagement contour that engages in the receiving opening. A locking unit with an electromechanical drive is arranged in the second fork bar. The locking unit has a locking contour, which is connected the electromechanical drive and engages in the engagement contour in the locking state. An electronic control unit controls the electromechanical drive to unlock the unit.
Locking Wheel Chock
A wheel chock assembly to secure a wheel of a motorcycle and/or bicycle by encasing the wheel and secured by a lockable lock pin. The wheel chock assembly can be used with one of the various mounting assemblies and with the frame securement collar assembly. The wheel chock assembly when mounted on one of the various mounting assemblies can be used to secure a motorcycle and/or bicycle on the bed of a truck or on the bed wall of a truck, trailer floor, trailer wall or trailer railing and even in a garage on the floor or wall. The securement collar assembly is used either around the steering column and frame attaching to the wheel chock assembly's lock pin for securement or between the rear tire and the frame attaching to the wheel chock assembly's lock pin for securement.
Multi-function trailer hitch and general lock
A multi-function trailer hitch lock and general purpose two piece U-shaped shackle lock has three components. An upper component is an upside down U-shaped shackle having at least one leg with locking grooves. For trailer use to engage the recess in the trailer coupler, a platform with a ball is slid up the U-shaped shackle legs. The third component is a separate locking assembly that is slid up the U-shaped shackle legs. This third component has a rotatable lock mechanism to drive a cam based latch mechanism between a latch state with the locking grooves, and an unlatch state. For general use such as locking a bicycle tire to a bike stand, the platform component is removed.
Bicycle lock system
A bicycle lock system for inhibiting a bicycle from being stolen includes a bicycle that has a frame and a rear wheel. A locking unit is movably coupled to the frame and the locking unit is positioned adjacent to the rear wheel. The locking unit is positionable in a locked position having the locking unit extending through the rear wheel. In this way the rear wheel is inhibited from rotating thereby inhibiting the bicycle from being stolen. The locking unit is positionable in an unlocked position having the locking unit being displaced from the rear wheel thereby facilitating the rear wheel to freely rotate.
Motorcycle locking system
A system for locking the wheel of a motorcycle and hence the motorcycle itself utilizes a locking housing with a back wall, dual sidewalls, and a bottom floor which partially circumscribe a slotted space for receiving the Wheel of a motorcycle. The bottom floor has lateral sections extending outside the sidewalls. A locking base is provided which has rail members extending along the side of the base, the rail members being configured to slidably receive the lateral sections of the bottom floor. Bolts secure the locking housing to the locking base when the system is assembled to receive the front wheel of a motorcycle. An elongated cycle lock is provided to extend through holes in the sidewalls and the motorcycle wheel positioned within the slotted space, to secure the wheel and thus the motorcycle within the locking housing.
