An auxiliary power device adapted for use with a bicycle includes a drive unit, first and second one-way transmissions that are adapted to be mounted in a bike frame of the bicycle, a crankshaft and a transmission sprocket. The first one-way transmission is connected between the drive unit and the transmission sprocket. The second one-way transmission is mounted between the crankshaft and the transmission sprocket. When rotation of the transmission sprocket is driven by the drive unit via the first one-way transmission, the second one-way transmission is idling. When rotation of the transmission sprocket is driven by the crankshaft via the second one-way transmission, the first one-way transmission is idling.

In an aspect, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle is provided, having a body, and first and second wheels rotatably coupled to the body. The second wheel has at least one lateral roller rotatable about an axis that is one of oblique and orthogonal to a rotation axis of the second wheel. At least one motor is coupled to the second wheel to control rotation of the second wheel and the at least one lateral roller. At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.

A high performance synchronous transmission to be used aboard a motorcycle for transmitting the motion generated by an engine to a driving wheel, between a crankshaft and a hub shaft parallel therebetween and perpendicular to the median plane of the motorcycle, comprising on the crankshaft a centrifugal clutch, for the automatic engagement of the first speed above a predetermined rotation regime, and a driving pulley apt to transmit the motion through a subsequent kinematic chain, is provided with a coupling between crankshaft and driving pulley which connects them directly, by determining with its own engagement the exclusion of said centrifugal clutch, said coupling being controlled in disengagement when a control lever is in active position.
