A front fender is provided in front of an air-cooled engine which is a drive source of a motorcycle. An air introduction hole which opens frontward is formed at a front part of a cylinder head of the air-cooled engine. A space around a plug attachment portion for a spark plug and a space in front of the cylinder head communicate with each other through the air introduction hole. A guide portion for guiding incoming wind toward the air introduction hole is formed at a rear part of the front fender.

One variation of a system for generating thrust at an aerial vehicle includes: a primary electric motor; a rotor coupled to the motor; an internal-combustion engine; a clutch interposed between the motor and an output shaft of the internal-combustion engine; an engine shroud defining a shroud inlet between the rotor and the internal-combustion engine, extending over the internal-combustion engine, and defining a shroud outlet opposite the rotor; a cooling fan coupled and configured to displace air through the engine shroud; and a local controller configured to receive a rotor speed command specifying a target rotor speed, adjust a throttle setpoint of the internal-combustion engine according to the target rotor speed and a state of charge of a battery in the aerial vehicle, and drive the primary electric motor to selectively output torque to the rotor and to regeneratively brake the rotor according to the target rotor speed.

A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame having a front frame portion, a mid-frame portion, and a rear frame portion. The mid-frame portion is coupled to the rear frame portion and the front frame portion. The vehicle further includes a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame. The engine includes an air deflector to assist in cooling a rear cylinder of a V-twin engine. An accessory windshield is also shown which may be coupled to the handlebars and front forks of the vehicle. Also, a rear accessory attachment is shown mountable to the rear fender.

A general-purpose engine is provided with an engine body having an exhaust system part connected to a cylinder, and also with a cooling mechanism for cooling the engine body. The cooling mechanism is provided with a cooling fan which rotates to generate a cooling air flow, a discharge section which discharges the cooling air flow generated by the rotation of the cooling fan and a cooling air flow opening which is disposed in the upper part of a partition for separating a cylinder chamber having the cylinder provided therein from a muffler chamber having a canister muffler provided therein, connects the cylinder head side of the cylinder chamber and the upper side of the muffler chamber, and causes a cooling air flow to flow from the cylinder head side of the cylinder chamber to the muffler chamber.

An air-cooled engine generator usable in an enclosed and relatively small indoor space includes an engine including a crank shaft on which a generator and a fan are provided. An outside cover includes a discharge aperture which discharges cooling air generated by the fan, and covers the engine, the generator, the fan, and a cooling section. The cooling section includes a mixing chamber where a coolant introduced from the outside and exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust pipe of the engine mix with each other, and an outer circumferential surface which is cooled by the coolant that is introduced into the mixing chamber. The exhaust gas is mixed with and cooled by the coolant in the mixing chamber while the cooling air which is supposed to be discharged out of the air-cooled engine generator is cooled by the outer circumferential surface of the cooling section.

A vehicle includes an electrical system which has at least one control unit and a first operator input device operably coupled to the at least one control unit. Additionally, the electrical system includes a second operator input device electrically coupled to the at least one control unit. The at least one control unit being operative to power on at least the engine. Also, the electrical system includes a security input device operably coupled to the at least one control unit. The at least one control unit is configured to transmit an actuation signal to the security input device in response to actuation of the first operator input device independent of actuation of the second operator input device and in response to actuation of the second operator input device independent of actuation of the first operator input device.
