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.

A driving device for an electric vehicle includes a pedal shaft, first and second electric motors, an output shaft, and a superposition transmission whose gear ratio is steplessly adjustable by way of the electric motors. The transmission also couples the pedal shaft and the output shaft to each other. A torque generated by the first electric motor and/or the second electric motor can be at least partially transmitted to the output shaft. The driving device further includes an electronic anti-theft device used to lock the bicycle. When locked, at least one of the electric motors is operable to generate a torque that counteracts a rotation of the pedal shaft in a forward direction of rotation to inhibit theft of the bicycle.

A link arm for securing bicycles and other vehicles and their components to each other and to fixed objects such as bike racks and street poles. The link arm is composed of a plurality of elements flexibly joined to each other by cylindrical joints, joined to the bicycle or vehicle by a perpendicularly oriented central hinge, allowing for restricted movement and rotation of other elements in the link arm. The link arm is designed to, when fastened, form a closed loop around the bicycle or vehicle frame, wheel and bike rack. When not in use, the device can be folded into a neat, compact configuration for convenient storage. The central perpendicular hinge enables fast and simple transition between the two states of fastened and in storage.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a communication system for an electric bicycle that includes a communication device that facilitates wireless communications between the electric bicycle and a wireless network, and an antenna coupled to the communication device and at least partially integrated into a frame component of the electric bicycle.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining abnormal information associated with a vehicle. The systems may perform the methods to obtain real-time information associated with a bicycle and obtain reference information associated with the bicycle. The systems may also perform the methods to determine, based on the real-time information and the reference information, abnormal information associated with the bicycle, and transmit the abnormal information associated with the bicycle.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with a cable lock assembly for a micromobility transit vehicle. A lock assembly may include a latch, an actuator, and an electric motor. The latch may be movable between a first, locking configuration securing a locking pin in place and a second, unlocking configuration disengaging the latch from the locking pin. The actuator may be coupled to the latch and movable between a plurality of positions, such as first, second, and third positions. The first position may secure the latch in the first configuration. The second position may move the latch to the second configuration. The third position may allow the latch to move between the first configuration and the second configuration. The electric motor may move the actuator between positions. A tolerance between the actuator and the latch may limit a load applied to the actuator by the latch.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with locking a micromobility transit vehicle to a stationary object. A multimodal transportation system may include a docking station including a securement point, and a micromobility transit vehicle securable to the securement point of the docking station. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a storage basket and a lock cable including a first end coupled to the storage basket and a second end. The second end of the lock cable may be securable to the securement point of the docking station to lock the micromobility transit vehicle to the docking station. The storage basket may include a pin lock. The pin lock may engage a locking pin of the lock cable to lock the micromobility transit vehicle via the lock cable.

Motor control systems and methods for micromobility transit vehicles are provided. A micromobility transit vehicle may include an electric motor configured to drive a rotation of a wheel. The electric motor may include a plurality of windings and a plurality of switching circuits. The switching circuits may be configured to selectively direct current from a power supply through the windings to generate a torque by the electric motor to drive the rotation of the wheel in response to associated control signals. The switching circuits may be configured to passively bypass the windings in response to an interruption of the control signals. Depletion of the power supply may result in the interruption of the control signals.
