An electric bicycle according to the invention has a frame portion which is configured for the removable mounting of at least one separate energy storage device, the frame portion having an asymmetric cross section with respect to a frame centre plane. Furthermore, an energy storage device is disclosed, having an asymmetric cross section with respect to an energy storage device centre plane.

The present invention relates to a frame for a bicycle including a tube construction for providing fastening options for further parts of the vehicle, such as a steering pen, saddle pen and fastening means for a rear wheel. The tube construction includes: a top tube, substantially extending in horizontal direction; a saddle tube, downwardly extending from a tube intersection with the top tube, from a fastening to the top tube at a substantially rear side thereof; a bottom tube, extending from a tube intersection with the saddle tube at substantially an underside of the saddle tube towards a connection at the top tube forwardly arranged relative to the fastening of the settled tube to the top tube; and a head tube arranged at an angle by means of a tube intersection connected to the top tube. The bottom tube extends to a predetermined distance above the upper side of the top tube, crossing the top tube at a tube intersection, and the head tube is fastened to the bottom tube above the top tube.

A solar wireless collector beacon (data hub) and associated method stores source data, received wirelessly from a data source, in a data buffer of the data hub. Sensor data is read from one or more onboard sensors of the data hub and stored as structural and/or environmental data in the data buffer. The environmental data is processed to determine an operating status of a vehicle being used with the data hub and an energy harvester of the vehicle is controlled to harvest energy from the vehicle based on the operating status. One or more of the operating status, the source data, and the environmental data is wirelessly transmitted from the data hub to an external device.

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.
