Electronic shifter for motorcycle and control method thereof

According to the electronic gear shifter for the motorcycle and the control method of the electronic gear shifter, on the premise that the wheel type is not limited, an interface and a criterion set can cover common vehicle type differences (side supporting / parking, clutch types, actuator types and the like), and platform splitting is reduced. A cuttable combination of CAN / LIN / discrete I / O is supported; parameterization calibration of threshold, overtime, retry, prompt strategy and the like facilitates rapid landing across vehicle types. Aiming at strong vibration and power supply fluctuation characteristics of the motorcycle, an anti-interference and power-down strategy, key signal multi-source consistency check and a sub-scene degradation path are emphasized, availability and consistency are kept under the working conditions of raining / dust / electromagnetic interference / starting voltage drop and the like, and robustness is enhanced. A mechanical connecting rod is replaced by electronic signal transmission, wire harness and mechanism redundancy is reduced, the mechanical arrangement complexity is reduced, and meanwhile, the NVH problem (such as vibration and abnormal sound) caused by mechanical friction and the defect of poor assembly consistency are avoided.

Tricycle having maximum tiltable angle variable system

In the conventional tricycle, generally the front frame, the rear frame and the seat tube are attached to the bottom bracket that carries pedal assembly. Between the bottom bracket and the rear frame, a joint is installed such that the seat tube and the handlebar may tilt to the left or right. Thereby the rider can cancel out the unwanted centrifugal force that occurs during high speed turning and pushes him to the opposite direction of the handlebar causing a fall down accident. Between the seat tube and the rear frame is installed a tiltable angle variable mechanism. By operating a hand lever on the handlebar the rider can vary the tiltable angle of the handlebar as needed, for high speed turning or for maintaining balance at low speeds.
