An electric assist vehicle is described, which may have a cargo area, a drivetrain including an external crankset and an electric motor, and a speed control system. The speed control system automatically limits the maximum operating speed of the vehicle based, at least in part, on a load mass (e.g., a gross weight) of the vehicle and/or the cargo area of the vehicle. Limiting the speed includes, for example, reducing the power of the electric motor and/or increasing a braking force on the vehicle.

A kickstand (17) and bike comprising such a kickstand. The kickstand comprises a base (18) connected or connectable to a bike frame (2); a stand (19) movable relative to the base between a standing position and a retracted position; and a latch (20) latching the stand in the standing position. The latch is pivotable about a horizontal rotational latch axis (R.sub.L) between a latching position and a release position.

A cargo bike transport carrier for accommodating cargo includes a bottom element, two mutually opposite side walls, a rear wall and a front wall. To allow for an inexpensive and simple manufacture of the cargo bike transport carrier, according to a preferred embodiment, the latter is made up of two plastic parts each constituting half of the transport carrier, wherein the two halves are separated by a vertical parting plane.

All-terrain vehicle systems and methods configured for attachable tools and implements are disclosed. An example embodiment includes: an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) frame configured with a void; a modular Power Take-Off (PTO) system removably installable in the ATV frame in the void; and a cargo bed removably installable at a rear portion of the ATV frame.

Steering and roll control systems to counteract yaw and/or roll forces during operation of a vehicle having first and second wheeled members coupled together by an articulating joint mechanism that is configured to pivot in a yaw direction and/or a roll direction. The steering assistance systems include a biasing unit configured to apply a counteracting force to bias the first and second wheeled members toward a straight-line arrangement thereof. The roll control systems include an additional biasing unit configured to apply a counteracting force to bias the first and second wheeled members toward a level alignment arrangement of the vehicle.

Cargo bike comprising a collapsible frame, the collapsible frame being adjustable between an elongate state in which the collapsible frame positions a front and rear wheel of the cargo bike at a first distance along a longitudinal axis of the cargo bike, and a collapsed state in which the collapsible frame positions the front and rear wheel at a second, smaller distance along the longitudinal axis of the cargo bike, a cargo holder for holding cargo that comprises a face that extends substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis, and wherein in the collapsed state of the collapsible frame at least one of the wheels extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cargo bike and at least partially overlaps with the transversely extending face.

A two-wheeled vehicle is provided. The two-wheeled vehicle includes a chassis, and a first wheel carriage moveably coupled to, and longitudinally displaceable relative to the chassis. At least a first wheel is rotationally mounted on the first wheel carriage, and coupled to the chassis through the first wheel carriage. The two-wheeled vehicle further includes a first linear actuator system coupled to the first wheel carriage, and configured to longitudinally displace the first wheel carriage relative to the chassis. A first motor is mounted to the first wheel and the first wheel carriage. The first motor is configured to provide a drive energy to the first wheel, and to be displaced along with the first wheel carriage as the first wheel is displaced by the first linear actuator system.
