An operating device for a height-adjustable seatpost tube including a lifting magnet. The lifting magnet has a magnetic core surrounded by a coil. The magnetic core cooperates with an actuating device of a lifting device, the lifting device being a pneumatic lifting device for height-adjustment of the seatpost tube and thus for heigh-adjustment of the seat, for example.

A seat post assembly for a bicycle includes a first tube having a first distal end and a second tube having a second distal end. A distance between the first distal end of the first tube and the second distal end of the second tube is at a maximum when the first tube is in a first position relative to the second tube. The seat post assembly also includes a first chamber and a second chamber that are fluidly coupleable. The first chamber is a positive fluid chamber, and the second chamber is a negative fluid chamber. The seat post assembly includes a fluid volume disposed in the first chamber and the second chamber. The fluid volume includes a compressible fluid. The first chamber is configured to act as a spring configured to bias the first tube towards the first position relative to the second tube.

A vibration isolator can be configured to provide improved vibration isolation performance, such as in connection with a bicycle saddle. The bicycle saddle can be operatively connected to a bicycle frame. The vibration isolator can be located within a portion of the bicycle frame. The vibration isolator can be operatively positioned with respect to the bicycle saddle. The vibration isolator being configured to exhibit a non-linear stiffness profile. The non-linear stiffness profile can include a region of quasi-zero stiffness. The vibration isolator including one or more super elastic material members.

The present invention relates to an electric kickboard in which an impact absorbing device is installed, and more particularly, to an electric kickboard including an impact absorbing device to support a weight of a user standing up by allowing the impact absorbing device to sufficiently absorb an impact when a seat is vibrated during riding by using elasticity of springs having different spring constants and including a self-power generating drive at one side thereof to produce electricity using vertical vibrations during riding and accumulate the produced electricity, thereby improving an energy efficiency.
