TOW BAR ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROL OF A SELF-PROPELLED TRAILER
Tow bar arrangement (100) for interconnection of a pulling vehicle (10) and a pulled trailer (20). The arrangement (100) comprises a control device (110) with a force sensor (111) arranged to sense an instantaneous relative force between vehicle (10) and trailer (20). The control device (110) is arranged to produce a control signal for an electric motor (21) arranged to propel the trailer (20) so that a motor force counter-acts said measured force. The invention is characterised in that the control device (110) is arranged to a first time series of force measurements, in that the control device (110) comprises a low-pass filter (112) producing a second low-pass filtered time series, and in that a regulator (113) is ar-ranged to regulate said second time series to produce said control signal.
MOTOR UNIT AND POWER-ASSISTED BICYCLE
A motor unit, which is an example of an embodiment, includes a motor including a motor shaft, a rotor fixed to the motor shaft, and a stator, and a control board, the control board being disposed with at least a part of the control board overlapping the motor when viewed in a motor axial direction. A sensor that detects a magnetic field of the motor shaft, the rotor, or a rotating body rotating together with the motor shaft, and a control element that controls the motor using detection information of the sensor, are mounted on the control board. The control board includes a signal line that connects the sensor and the control element. The signal line includes an arcuate wiring section bent to be convex in a radial direction outer side of a circle centering on a shaft core of the motor shaft.

SELF-STABILIZING SKATEBOARD
A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a board having two deck portions each having a concave front footpad configured to receive a foot of a rider, and a wheel assembly disposed between the deck portions. The concave front footpad has a rider detection sensor in the form of a membrane switch conforming to the shape of the footpad (e.g., facilitated by one or more slots formed in the membrane switch). A motor assembly drives the vehicle in response to board orientation and rider detection information.
Multi-functional lighting device integrated with bicycle
The present invention relates to a multifunctional lighting apparatus for a bicycle, which includes: a lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit detachably mounted on a steering unit of a bicycle; an ascending/descending movement body part vertically movably located in the lighting apparatus ascending/descending support unit; and a main lighting lamp unit located in the ascending/descending movement body part and irradiating light, and as a result, a lighting lamp unit can be located at a position desired by a driver by adjusting a height of the lighting lamp unit, thereby enhancing both satisfaction and safety in use.

Means for operating a motorcycle, system and method for operating a motorcycle
A device for operating a motorcycle includes a steering device with a first and a second grip element, and includes a sensor system for detecting a riding situation. The sensor system includes a grip sensor which is arranged in or on one of the grip elements and which is designed to, in an operating state of the operating device, detect external contact on the respective grip element and generate an associated grip measurement signal. The operating device furthermore includes a steering actuator which is coupled to the steering device for the purposes of setting a steering angle with respect to a steering axis, such that, in a manner dependent on the riding situation and the grip measurement signal, a predetermined steering angle can be set at the steering device by way of the steering actuator.
