A vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body frame 2, a drive unit 3 provided in the vehicle body frame and movable on a floor, a seat 4 arranged above the vehicle body frame and supporting the buttocks of a user, a lifting device 5 provided between the vehicle body frame and the seat and lifting or lowering the seat between a low position and a high position, a battery 7 provided in the vehicle body frame, and a control device 6 controlling the drive unit and the lifting device. The control device prohibits lifting drive of the lifting device in response to the seat being at the low position and a lifting prohibition condition being satisfied.

To facilitate a user's manipulation for parallel displacement in a sideways direction or a turn of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle 1 includes a drive unit 3 that is incorporated in a vehicle body frame 2 and can make a parallel displacement or a turn in all directions on a floor surface, direction input units 41C and 45 that receive a direction input associated at least with a forward, backward, leftward, or rightward direction, a mode change manipulator 41D that receives a mode change input associated with a mode change made by a user, and a controller 6. The controller changes traveling modes of the drive unit between a parallel displacement mode and a turn mode on the basis of the mode change input. When the parallel displacement mode is selected, the controller controls the drive unit on the basis of a signal sent from the direction input unit so that the drive unit can make a parallel displacement on the floor surface. When the turn mode is selected, the controller controls the drive unit on the basis of a signal, which is associated with a leftward or rightward direction and sent from the direction input unit, so that the drive unit can make a turn on the floor surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

A variety of scooters are disclosed. In some embodiments, a scooter can include a pivot assembly that allows the scooter to move between a folded and unfolded configuration. The pivot assembly can include a knob that frees a pin from a bracket to allow the scooter to fold. Turing the knob increases compressive forces on elements of the pivot assembly to reduce rattling noise and wobbling movement when the scooter is in use. Some embodiments of the scooter can include a center stand that can be deployed from either side of the scooter deck to stabilize the scooter when the scooter is stationary. Certain embodiments have an ergonomic handgrip.

A cargo bicycle for transporting a load via a rider. The cargo bicycle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a load bed arranged between the front wheel and the rear wheel, a rider seat; and a crank to facilitate the driving of the cargo bicycle by the rider, the crank having, in a longitudinal direction of the cargo bicycle, a crank axis arranged in substantially a same longitudinal position as a rear wheel axis of the rear wheel and away from the load bed.

To provide a bicycle parking stand for locking a bicycle to a stand (1).SOLUTION: A bicycle parking stand comprises: a lower section (A) having an upper section (B) fixed to an upper section; a gate (E) hinged to the lower section (A) and the upper section (B); and an electronic unit fixed to the inside of the upper section (B). The electronic unit comprises: an electronic lock (H) with a latch (P); and a printed circuit board with an antenna arranged below a window (J) that enables operation of the stand by an electronic device. The stand further comprises clamping means for releasably clamping a crank arm to the clamping means. The gate (E) is adapted so that a striker plate (F) fixed to the gate (E) moves from an open position in which it engages the latch (P) of the electronic lock (H) to a closed position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

The present disclosure provides a docking module for a two-wheeled personal vehicle which is capable of performing an assisted docking protocol to automatically lift a vehicle into a vertical position during the docking process to provide more space-efficient storage. Vehicles docked this way are securely stored until needed and can then be undocked in similarly assisted manner. The docking module achieves this using a motorized assembly that lifts a front wheel clamp up from the ground in response to a wheel sensor trigger. The lifting continues until the same wheel sensor detects proximity of the rear wheel of the vehicle, at which point the vehicle is locked into place. No lifting is required by the user, and the modular design of the dock allows installation on various anchor points.

Disclosed are a system and method for managing a shared personal mobility device (SPM) capable of acquiring accurate location information of the SPM. The system for managing the SPM may include a dock configured to store SPMs, and an SPM management server configured to receive, from the dock and using an LPWA protocol, state information associated with the doc. The state information may include coordinates of the dock. The SPM management server may be further configured to receive location information associated with a returned SPM, and update, based on the coordinates of the dock, the location information associated with the returned SPM.

To improve safety in a vehicle where a seat is movable between a low position and a high position.SOLUTION: A vehicle 1 includes: a vehicle body frame 2; a drive unit 3 arranged in the vehicle body frame so as to be movable on a floor surface; a seat 4 arranged on an upper side of the vehicle body frame so as to support hips of a user; a lifting / lowing device 5 arranged between the vehicle body frame and the seat so as to lift / lower the seat between a low position and a high position; a battery 7 arranged in the vehicle body frame; and a control device 6 for controlling the drive unit and the lifting / lowing device. The control device prohibits lifting drive of the lifting / lowering device when the seat is at the low position and also a lifting prohibition condition is established.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

The present invention provides a motorcycle landing device having a vertically aligned auxiliary wheel, the motorcycle landing device comprising: rotary drivers fixedly formed adjacent to footrests on both side surfaces of a motorcycle, respectively, each rotary driver comprising a DC motor configured to rotate forwards / backwards, a reduction module, and a motor frame for containing the reduction module; first main folding links coupled to both sides of the motor frames to be able to rotate while facing same, respectively, the first main folding links being rotated by the DC motors to predetermined angles; second main folding links rotatably coupled to insides of lower ends of the first main folding links, respectively; auxiliary folding links coupled to lower ends of the motor frames to be able to rotate while facing same, respectively; an auxiliary wheel vertical-alignment link having one side rotatably coupled to insides of lower ends of the second main folding links, the other side of the auxiliary wheel vertical-alignment link being rotatably coupled to insides of the auxiliary folding links, an auxiliary wheel being coupled to the inside of the auxiliary wheel vertical-alignment link; and a fixing frame for fixing the rotary drivers to be adjacent to the footrests. As a result of forward / backward rotations of the DC motors, the first main folding links, the second main folding links, the auxiliary folding links, and the auxiliary wheel vertical-alignment link interwork with one another and thus are folded or unfolded, and when the auxiliary wheel contacts the ground and is separated therefrom, the auxiliary wheel is vertically aligned with regard to the ground.

The present disclosure provides a modular system for energy management and distribution, and for the docking of personal electric vehicles such as electric scooters and bicycles. The system comprises one or more core devices with polygonal frames. The edges of each frame are fitted with universal ports configured to couple with various external modules, including docking modules for different types of vehicles, to meet the demands of the space in which they are installed. The core devices have their own internal battery modules coupled to a power supply grid and implement smart charging protocols to store and discharge energy from their battery modules to connected external modules in an optimal manner. The system thus provides a versatile solution to the complex demands of city environments, both in terms of efficient and adaptable physical storage and varying power demands.
