Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, using a motorcycle or motor scooter as a means of transportation has drawbacks.
Some of the significant drawbacks are the inability to "tour" or ride during inclement weather such as rain, coping with the intensity of harmful UV rays on a sunny day and increased safety risks.
However, BMW does not have a patent for the C1 in the United States.
The major drawback of BMW's C1 is that the canopy, which acts as the hood for the motor scooter, is non-detachable and does not sufficiently protect its passengers from the elements.
However, the canopy or cover designs that have been developed contain several drawbacks.
When the cycle is fully enclosed the wind will shift the cover panel from side to side causing the driver to become unstable.
This is due in part to the cover lacking a bar to support the sides of the transparent enclosure.

Embodiment Construction

.)

[0024] The back section of the All Weather Cycle Protector is constructed by using two 50-inch long PVC pipes 10. The two 50-inch pipes were cut into four sections. The sides of the top portion of the all Weather Cycle Protector frame 11 is attached with three-way connectors and PVC glue. Three 211 / 2-inch PVC pipes 12 are also used for the top, middle and bottom sections of the frame. Again the top middle PVC pipes are connected with PVC glue and three-way connectors. The PVC pipe at the bottom is connected with two-way connectors 13. The bottom PVC pipes rests on the rear frame of the motor scooter and is attached with four stainless steel clamps 14. As depicted in FIG. 3, C and D indicates where the clamps are positioned on the All Weather Cycle Protector for it to be removable.

Abstract

A detachable canopy-like cover intended to be used on motor scooters, which can protect cyclists from the elements and provide increased stability for a motor scooter. The cover's lightweight construction is water-resistant yet sturdy enough to be used on the highway. The cover includes a non-shattering molded front shield that protects a cyclist and its passenger from oncoming flying debris. The All Weather Cycle Protector effectively serves to reduce intense temperatures cyclists are exposed to while on a motor scooter. The frame for the cover is constructed of a lightweight material that can easily be attached to the front and back frame of a motor scooter. Clamps are used to hold the frame firmly in place on the under portion of a motor scooter.

Description

[0001] Owning a motorcycle or a motor scooter is a great way for an individual to experience the open air feeling one gets while riding safely on the road. In addition, it is an economical approach for a means of transportation. Unfortunately, using a motorcycle or motor scooter as a means of transportation has drawbacks. Some of the significant drawbacks are the inability to "tour" or ride during inclement weather such as rain, coping with the intensity of harmful UV rays on a sunny day and increased safety risks.[0002] Several motorcycle companies such as BMW and Quasar have designed and sold bikes that have offered cyclists protection during inclement weather. In the mid-1970's the Quasar motorcycle that was designed in the United Kingdom by Newall and Leamer was considered revolutionary for its time. The hood and the body of the motorcycle were made out of the same fiberglass material. In fact, the cycle resembled a small car made for one, which took away from the concept of a t...
