BRAKE DISK LOCK
A brake disk lock includes a claw comprising a first claw section and a second claw section movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position of the claw, wherein, in the closed position, the claw comprises a predetermined clearing width so as to engage around a section of a brake disk of a two-wheeled vehicle. Further, the brake disk lock comprises a locking mechanism which is configured to lock the claw in the closed position, and an adjustment device configured to adjust the predetermined clearing width of the claw to different brake disks.

LOCK
A lock, in particular for an electric bicycle, includes a locking mechanism that has a latch that is movable between a latched position, which is provided for securing a counter-piece movable relative to the locking mechanism, and an unlatched position provided for releasing the counter-piece. The lock includes a blocking device, including a blocking element that is adjustable between a blocking position, in which the latch is blocked in its latched position, and a release position in which the latch is movable into its unlatched position, and a reception unit for receiving a release signal by which the adjustment of the blocking element into the release position can be brought about. A locking system may include at least one such lock.
ELECTRIC BICYCLE OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM
Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.
Motor control systems and methods for micromobility transit vehicles
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.

Motor-driven scooter
The invention relates to a scooter (10) including: a frame (12); a front wheel (20) and a rear wheel (22) attached to the frame; a motor (24) configured for driving into rotation at least one of the front and rear wheels; and a unit (26) for controlling the motor. The invention is characterized by the fact that the unit for controlling the motor includes: acceleration detection means for detecting an acceleration phase of the scooter; deceleration detection means for detecting a deceleration phase of the scooter; the control unit being configured for actuating the motor when a deceleration phase having a period at least equal to a first predetermined threshold has been detected by the deceleration detection means after detection of an acceleration phase by the acceleration detection means.

Driving device for an electric bicycle with electronic anti-theft device and method of control
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.

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.
