[0003] Due to current customer demands, motorcycles are evolving towards greater convenience, creating an urgent need for a control system that facilitates motorcycle starting and offers good anti-theft capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a motorcycle that can be started without a key and has good anti-theft performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A motorcycle includes: a frame; a running gear assembly including a first running wheel and a second running wheel; a suspension assembly including a front suspension and a rear suspension, the first running wheel being connected to the frame via the front suspension and the second running wheel being connected to the frame via the rear suspension; a power assembly at least partially disposed on the frame; and a control system at least partially disposed on the frame. The control system includes: an unlocking base station disposed on the frame, the unlocking base station including at least one communication module, the communication module being capable of pairing with a portable device, and after successful pairing between the communication module and the portable device, the unlocking base station being capable of signal transmission with the portable device via the communication module; a first controller disposed on the frame and connected to the unlocking base station; and a first start switch connected to the first controller, which transmits a start command to the first controller when triggered. When the unlocking base station is transmitting signals with the portable device, if the distance between the portable device and the motorcycle is within a first preset range, and the first start switch transmits a start command to the first controller, the first controller controls the motorcycle to power on.

[0006] Furthermore, after the portable device and the unlocking base station are paired, the unlocking base station receives the location information sent by the portable device and can determine whether the distance between the portable device and the motorcycle is within a first preset range based on the location information; or, after the portable device and the unlocking base station are paired, the unlocking base station receives the signal strength sent by the portable device and can determine whether the distance between the portable device and the motorcycle is within a first preset range based on the signal strength.

[0007] Furthermore, the first start switch is located on the portable device.

[0008] Furthermore, the first start switch is located on the motorcycle.

[0009] Furthermore, when the unlocking base station and the portable device are transmitting signals, if the first start switch transmits a start command to the first controller, the first controller receives the start command and authenticates with the unlocking base station; if the authentication is successful, the first controller controls the motorcycle to power on.

[0010] Furthermore, the control system also includes a second start switch, which is connected to the first controller; when the first controller and the unlocking base station successfully authenticate, the second start switch controls the first controller so that the first controller controls the power component to start.

[0011] Furthermore, the motorcycle also includes a first state and a second state; when the motorcycle is in the first state, the unlocking base station receives the location information sent by the portable device; if the location information is greater than a first preset range, and the motorcycle's rotation speed or speed is within a preset speed range, the first controller controls the motorcycle to be in the second state.

[0012] Furthermore, the unlocking base station is located away from the powertrain components and is situated on the front side of the chassis.

[0013] Furthermore, when the unlocked base station and the portable device are transmitting signals, if the distance between the portable device and the motorcycle is within a second preset range, the unlocked base station receives the vehicle-finding instruction sent by the portable device and sends the vehicle-finding instruction to the first controller to put the motorcycle in a vehicle-finding state, wherein the second preset range is greater than the first preset range.

[0014] Furthermore, when the unlocking base station and the portable device are transmitting signals, if the distance between the portable device and the motorcycle is within a third preset range, the unlocking base station sends a welcoming command to the first controller to put the motorcycle in a welcoming state, wherein the third preset range is greater than the first preset range and less than the second preset range.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the motorcycle provided by the present invention can achieve dual anti-theft of the motorcycle through pairing of a portable device and an unlocking base station, and authentication of the unlocking base station and the first controller, thereby improving the security and anti-theft performance of the motorcycle; the motorcycle can also be started without keys through a portable device and a first start switch.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in specific embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] A motorcycle 100 can refer to various types of motorcycles. Based on the motorcycle's wheels, the wheels include the front wheel and the rear wheel, specifically one of the following: The wheels consist of only one front wheel and one rear wheel. Understandably, traditional motorcycle models typically consist of only one front wheel and one rear wheel, such as street bikes, sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, rally bikes, off-road bikes, supermoto bikes, scooters, underbone bikes, and so on.

[0031] The wheels consist of one front wheel and two rear wheels. Motorcycles equipped with this type of wheel are usually a type of special motorcycle, such as a three-wheeled motorcycle. These motorcycles are mostly used as production tools, although some high-end imported motorcycle brands also adopt this three-wheeled form.

[0032] The wheels consist of two front wheels and one rear wheel. Similarly, motorcycles equipped with these types of wheels are usually considered special-purpose motorcycles, such as three-wheeled motorcycles.

[0033] The wheels consist of a front wheel, a rear wheel, and a side wheel. Motorcycles equipped with these types of wheels can be called sidecar motorcycles, or more commonly, "sidecars".

[0034] The wheels consist of two front wheels and two rear wheels, i.e., a four-wheeled motorcycle. Common four-wheeled motorcycles include ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles, used on various road surfaces), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), and SSVs (Side-by-Side Vehicles), all of which can utilize the technical solutions provided in this application. It should be noted that there are currently multiple ways to classify motorcycles. Some classification methods group them alongside motorcycles, considering them not as general motorcycles, while others consider them a special type of motorcycle. This mainly considers whether the concept of "motorcycle" is interpreted narrowly or broadly. The motorcycles mentioned in the embodiments of this application mainly belong to the latter classification method, meaning that the technical solutions of this application can be applied. In this embodiment, motorcycle 100 is described as a four-wheeled motorcycle, i.e., it is described as an example.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the motorcycle 100 includes a frame 11, a running gear 12, a suspension assembly 13, an electrical assembly 14, a body panel 15, a transmission assembly 16, a power assembly 17, a seat assembly 18, and a control system 19. The suspension assembly 13 includes a front suspension 131 and a rear suspension 132 for connecting the frame 11 and the running gear 12. The running gear 12 includes a first wheel 121 and a second wheel 122. The first wheel 121 is connected to the frame 11 via the front suspension 131, and the second wheel 122 is connected to the frame 11 via the rear suspension 132. The running gear 12 is used for the movement of the motorcycle 100. The electrical assembly 14 is at least partially disposed on the frame 11 for providing power. The body panel 15 is at least partially disposed on the frame 11 for shielding or covering the frame 11. The transmission assembly 16 is at least partially disposed on the frame 11 and is at least partially connected to the running gear 12 for transmitting power to the running gear 12, thereby driving the running gear 12. A power assembly 17 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11 and connected to the transmission assembly 16, providing power for the motorcycle 100 to move. A saddle assembly 18 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11, providing a riding position for a user and / or passenger. A control system 19 is connected to the electrical assembly 14 and at least partially mounted on the frame 11; the control system 19 is also connected to the power assembly 17, controlling the starting and other functions of the motorcycle 100. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, terms such as... are also defined. Figure 1 The front, back, left, right, top, and bottom sides are shown.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one implementation, the control system 19 includes an unlocking base station 192 and a first controller 193. In this embodiment, the application also includes a portable device 200 for unlocking the motorcycle 100. The portable device 200 is a mobile device, such as a Bluetooth key 1911 or a mobile terminal. The unlocking base station 192 is at least partially mounted on the motorcycle 100. The unlocking base station 192 includes at least one communication module capable of pairing with the portable device 200. After successful pairing, the unlocking base station 192 can transmit signals to the portable device 200 via the communication module. Specifically, when the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 are within a preset range, the portable device 200 can pair with the unlocking base station 192. That is, the portable device 200 can send pairing information to the unlocking base station 192. The unlocking base station 192 verifies whether the portable device 200 can be used to unlock the motorcycle 100 using the pairing information, thereby enabling communication between the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192. The preset range can be determined by the portable device 200 sending location information to the unlocking base station 192, thereby confirming whether the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is within the preset range. The preset range can be adjusted according to actual requirements. The first controller 193 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11. The first controller 193 is connected to the unlocking base station 192 and is used to authenticate the unlocking base station 192, thereby enabling the motorcycle 100 to start or perform other functions. Specifically, the first controller 193 can be a body control module (BCM), and the first controller 193 and the unlocking base station 192 can be connected via a CAN (Controller Area Network) network. In this embodiment, after the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 successfully pair, i.e., after signal transmission, the unlocking base station 192 receives and judges the information output by the portable device 200 and verifies it with the first controller 193. This allows the unlocking base station 192 to send different control commands to the first controller 193, thereby enabling different functions of the motorcycle 100. In this embodiment, the unlocking base station 192 can be a key base station (KBS) or a vehicle-mounted wireless terminal (T-BOX). The portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 can be connected via Bluetooth. Specifically, when the portable device 200 is a Bluetooth key 1911, the Bluetooth key 1911 has Bluetooth 5.2, enabling the portable device 200 to implement low-power control functionality.

[0037] As one implementation, the motorcycle 100 includes at least a vehicle-finding state and / or a welcoming state and / or a start state.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation, when the motorcycle 100 is in a vehicle-finding state, the preset range includes a first preset range, which can be adjusted according to actual needs. The portable device 200 can send location information to the unlocking base station 192. When the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, when the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the first preset range, that is, when the location information is less than or equal to the first preset range, the user can control the portable device 200 to send a vehicle-finding command to the unlocking base station 192. In other words, the vehicle-finding command requires the user to control the portable device 200 to send it to the unlocking base station 192 via buttons or other means. It is understandable that when the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the first preset range, the vehicle-finding command can also be automatically sent to the unlocking base station 192 via the portable device 200. After receiving the vehicle-finding command sent by the portable device 200, and determining that the location information is less than or equal to a first preset range, the unlocking base station 192 sends the vehicle-finding command to the first controller 193 via the CAN network. The first controller 193 controls the motorcycle 100 to enter a vehicle-finding state, thereby realizing the vehicle-finding function of the motorcycle 100. Specifically, the motorcycle 100 also includes a visual interaction module for performing visual interaction and a voice interaction module for performing voice interaction. When the motorcycle 100 is in the vehicle-finding state, the first controller 193 can control the visual interaction module to perform corresponding visual interaction and / or control the voice interaction module to perform corresponding voice interaction. In this embodiment, the visual interaction module can be the motorcycle 100's headlights, and the voice interaction module can be the motorcycle 100's horn.

[0039] Understandably, the portable device 200 can send signals to the unlocking base station 192 and determine whether the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is within a first preset range based on the signal strength. Specifically, the signal strength includes the first preset strength. When the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, when the unlocking base station 192 receives the signal sent by the portable device 200 and determines that the signal strength is within the first preset strength, that is, when the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the first preset range, the unlocking base station 192 receives the vehicle-finding command sent by the portable device 200. The unlocking base station 192 sends the vehicle-finding command to the first controller 193 through the CAN network. The first controller 193 controls the motorcycle 100 to be in a vehicle-finding state, thereby realizing the vehicle-finding function of the motorcycle 100.

[0040] like Figure 4As shown, specifically, when the portable device 200 is a Bluetooth key 1911, the Bluetooth key 1911 is equipped with a car-finding button 1912. The user presses the car-finding button 1912 to send a car-finding command to the unlocking base station 192. That is, when the car-finding button 1912 is triggered, the Bluetooth key 1911 sends a car-finding command to the unlocking base station 192. The Bluetooth key 1911 is also equipped with a motion sensing module 1913, which can be a motion sensor. When the portable device 200 is stationary, the motion sensing module 1913 maintains low-power operation, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the portable device 200 and increasing its usage time. When the portable device 200 undergoes physical displacement, the motion sensing module 1913 sends out location information. In this embodiment, after the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 are successfully paired, the portable device 200 can transmit signals with the unlocking base station 192. When the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 are successfully paired, the vehicle search button 1912 can send a vehicle search command from the Bluetooth key 1911 to the unlocking base station 192, and the motion sensing module 1913 can send location information to the unlocking base station 192. If the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 fail to pair, the portable device 200 cannot communicate with the unlocking base station 192. Only through pairing can the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 communicate, thereby improving the security and anti-theft capabilities of the motorcycle 100.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, in one implementation, when the motorcycle 100 is in a welcoming state, the preset range includes a second preset range, which is smaller than the first preset range, and the second preset range can be adjusted according to actual needs. At this time, the portable device 200 can also send location information to the unlocking base station 192. When the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, and the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the second preset range (i.e., the location information is less than or equal to the second preset range), the unlocking base station 192 generates a welcoming command. The unlocking base station 192 sends the welcoming command to the first controller 193 via the CAN network. After receiving the welcoming command, the first controller 193 controls the motorcycle 100 to be in a welcoming state, thereby realizing the welcoming function of the motorcycle 100. Specifically, the motorcycle 100 also includes a visual interaction module for performing visual interaction and a voice interaction module for performing voice interaction. When the motorcycle 100 is in a welcoming state, the first controller 193 can control the visual interaction module to perform corresponding visual interaction and / or control the voice interaction module to perform corresponding voice interaction. In this embodiment, the visual interaction module can be the headlights of the motorcycle 100, and the sound interaction module can be the horn of the motorcycle 100. It is understood that after the unlocking base station 192 receives the location information sent by the portable device 200, and the location information is less than or equal to a second preset range, the unlocking base station 192 can also trigger a welcoming command via the CAN network to the first controller 193, thereby causing the first controller 193 to control the motorcycle 100 to be in a welcoming state. At this time, the welcoming command is generated by the first controller 193. Specifically, the welcoming state can be turned on or off according to actual needs. That is, when the user does not need the welcoming state, it can be turned off; when the user needs the welcoming state, it can be turned on. Through the above settings, the needs of different users can be met, realizing the diversified design of the motorcycle 100.

[0042] Understandably, the portable device 200 can send signals to the unlocking base station 192 and determine whether the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is within a second preset range based on the signal strength. Specifically, the signal strength includes a second preset strength, which is greater than a first preset strength. When the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, when the unlocking base station 192 receives the signal sent by the portable device 200 and determines that the signal strength is within the second preset strength, that is, when the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the second preset range, the unlocking base station 192 receives the welcoming command sent by the portable device 200. The unlocking base station 192 sends the welcoming command to the first controller 193 through the CAN network. After receiving the welcoming command, the first controller 193 controls the motorcycle 100 to be in a welcoming state, thereby realizing the welcoming function of the motorcycle 100.

[0043] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in one implementation, when the motorcycle 100 is in the start state, the preset range includes a third preset range, which is smaller than the second preset range. The third preset range can be adjusted according to actual needs. At this time, the portable device 200 can also send location information to the unlocking base station 192. When the motorcycle 100 is in the start state, the control system 19 also includes a first start switch 194. The first start switch 194 can be set on the portable device 200 or on the motorcycle 100. Specifically, when the first start switch 194 is set on the portable device 200, the first start switch 194 can communicate with the unlocking base station 192 through the portable device 200, and transmit the start command sent by the first start switch 194 to the first controller 193 through the unlocking base station 192; the first start switch 194 can also communicate with the first controller 193 through the portable device 200, thereby directly transmitting the start command sent by the first start switch 194 to the first controller 193. Through the above configuration, the first start switch 194 and the portable device 200 can be integrated, thereby reducing the space required for the first start switch 194 on the motorcycle 100 and improving the space utilization of the motorcycle 100. When the first start switch 194 is installed on the motorcycle 100, the first start switch 194 and the first controller 193 are electrically connected. In this embodiment, when the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, that is, when the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 are successfully paired, and the distance between the motorcycle 100 and the portable device 200 is less than or equal to a third preset range, that is, when the portable device 200 and the unlocking base station 192 are successfully paired, and the location information sent by the portable device 200 is less than or equal to the third preset range, the user can send a start command to the first controller 193 through the first start switch 194. After receiving the start command, the first controller 193 sends authentication information to the unlocking base station 192 and performs the authentication process until authentication is successful. Once the first controller 193 and the unlocking base station 192 successfully authenticate, the first controller 193 can start the motorcycle 100. Specifically, the first controller 193 must simultaneously meet the following conditions to start the motorcycle 100: first, the first controller 193 receives a start command; second, the authentication between the first controller 193 and the unlocking base station 192 is successful. Through this setting, keyless start of the motorcycle 100 can be achieved, thereby improving the working efficiency of the motorcycle 100.

[0044] Understandably, the portable device 200 can send a signal to the unlocking base station 192 and determine whether the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is within a third preset range based on the signal strength. Specifically, the signal strength includes a third preset strength, which is greater than a second preset strength. When the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 are transmitting signals, and the unlocking base station 192 receives the signal sent by the portable device 200 and determines that the signal strength is within the third preset strength, that is, when the distance between the portable device 200 and the motorcycle 100 is less than or equal to the third preset range, the user can send a start command to the first controller 193 through the first start switch 194.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, if the first start switch 194 is installed on the portable device 200, the first start switch 194 can communicate with the first controller 193 via wireless transmission, thereby enabling the first start switch 194 to send a start command to the first controller 193. It is understood that the first start switch 194 can also first send the start command to the unlocking base station 192 via wireless transmission, and then the unlocking base station 192 sends the start command to the first controller 193. With the above settings, the user can remotely control the motorcycle 100 to start, thereby improving the efficiency of the motorcycle 100's use; and the first start switch 194 sends the start command to the first controller 193 only when the distance between the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200 is less than or equal to a third preset range, thereby improving both the efficiency of the motorcycle 100's use and its security and anti-theft capabilities.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, if the first start switch 194 is installed on the motorcycle 100, the first start switch 194 can communicate with the first controller 193 via an electrical connection, thereby enabling the first start switch 194 to send a start command to the first controller 193. It is understood that the first start switch 194 can also first send the start command to the unlocking base station 192 via an electrical connection, and then the unlocking base station 192 sends the start command to the first controller 193.

[0047] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the authentication steps between the first controller 193 and the unlocking base station 192 are as follows: S1: The first controller 193 sends authentication information to the unlocking base station 192; S2: After receiving the authentication information, the unlocked base station 192 sends encrypted information to the first controller 193; S3: After receiving the encrypted information, the first controller 193 sends feedback information to the unlocking base station 192; S4: If the feedback information indicates successful authentication, the first controller 193 performs a power-on operation and ends the authentication process; S5: If the feedback message is authentication failure, the first controller 193 ends the authentication process.

[0048] It should be noted that the steps shown in the above flowchart or the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here. For example, steps S4 and S5 may be interchanged.

[0049] Through the above steps, pairing authentication can be performed between the unlocking base station 192 and the first controller 193, thereby improving the security and anti-theft capabilities of the motorcycle 100. Furthermore, by pairing the portable device 200 with the unlocking base station 192, and the unlocking base station 192 with the first controller 193, dual anti-theft authentication of the motorcycle 100 is achieved, further enhancing its anti-theft capabilities.

[0050] Specifically, in step S1, the authentication information can consist of 16 bytes of random number data. In step S2, the encryption information is the encrypted result of encrypting the authentication information. If the first controller 193 does not receive the encryption information from the unlocking base station 192 within the first time period, the first controller 193 sends an authentication failure message to the unlocking base station 192, and the first controller 193 continues to send authentication information after the second time period. The first time period can be 50ms, and the second time period can be 20ms; the first and second time periods can also be adjusted according to actual needs. In step S3, the feedback result includes authentication success information and authentication failure information. The first controller 193 receives the encryption information and matches it with the encryption result calculated by the first controller 193. If the encryption result and the encryption information match successfully, the first controller 193 sends authentication success information to the unlocking base station 192. If the encryption result and the encryption information fail to match, the first controller 193 sends authentication failure information to the unlocking base station 192 and resends the authentication information to the unlocking base station 192. If the unlocking base station 192 does not receive feedback from the first controller 193 within the third time period after sending the encrypted information, the unlocking base station 192 sends an error message to the first controller 193. The first controller 193 then continues to send authentication information after the second time period. The third time period can be 50ms and can be adjusted according to actual needs. In steps S4 and S5, the unlocking base station 192 is used to receive and judge the feedback information.

[0051] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one implementation, when the motorcycle 100 is in the started state and the unlocking base station 192 and the first controller 193 successfully authenticate, the control system 19 also includes a second start switch 195. The second start switch 195 is connected to the first controller 193. Specifically, the motorcycle 100 includes an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a gasoline vehicle, and the power assembly 17 includes a motor 172 and / or an engine 171. When the motorcycle 100 is an electric vehicle, the power assembly 17 includes a motor 172, and the first controller 193 is connected to the motor 172; when the motorcycle 100 is a hybrid vehicle, the power assembly 17 includes a motor 172 and an engine 171, and the first controller 193 is connected to the motor 172 and the engine 171; when the motorcycle 100 is a gasoline vehicle, the power assembly 17 includes an engine 171, and the first controller 193 is connected to the engine 171.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the motorcycle 100 is a hybrid or gasoline vehicle, the control system 19 further includes a second controller 196 and a third controller 197. The second controller 196 is connected to the first controller 193 and the power assembly 17, and the third controller 197 is connected to both the first controller 193 and the second controller 196. The second controller 196 can be an engine control unit (ECU) for the 171, and the third controller 197 can be a relay. When the motorcycle 100 is in the start-up state, and the unlocking base station 192 and the first controller 193 successfully authenticate, the first controller 193 provides power to the second controller 196 and the third controller 197. At this time, when the user turns on the second start switch 195, the second start switch 195 sends an ignition signal to the first controller 193, which controls the third controller 197 to start, thereby controlling the second controller 196 to start, thus starting the engine 171, i.e., starting the motorcycle 100. When the motorcycle is a hybrid or electric vehicle, the second start switch 195 is also used to start the motor 172. When the motorcycle 100 is in the start state and the unlocking base station 192 and the first controller 193 are successfully authenticated, the user turns on the second start switch 195. The second start switch 195 sends a start signal to the first controller 193, and the first controller 193 controls the motor 172 to start, thereby starting the motorcycle 100.

[0053] As one implementation, the motorcycle 100 also includes a first state and a second state. When the motorcycle 100 is in the first state, it is in a powered-on state; when the motorcycle 100 is in the second state, it is in a powered-off state. The motorcycle 100 is in the second state when it is in a vehicle-finding or welcoming state. The motorcycle 100 is in the first state when it is in the start-up state and the unlocking base station 192 and the first controller 193 have successfully authenticated. The powered-off state refers to the motorcycle 100 being powered by a constant power supply, which is a positive power supply connected to the positive terminal of the power source and not controlled by any switches, relays, etc.; the powered-on state refers to the motorcycle 100 being powered by a power supply that is output after being controlled by switches, relays, etc.

[0054] When the motorcycle 100 is in the first state, and the location information sent by the portable device 200 is less than or equal to a third preset range, or the signal strength sent by the portable device 200 is within a third preset strength, the motorcycle 100 remains powered on. When the motorcycle 100 is in the first state, and the location information sent by the portable device 200 is greater than the third preset range, or the signal strength sent by the portable device 200 is not within the third preset strength, the first controller 193 determines whether the rotational speed and / or speed of the motorcycle 100 is within a preset speed range. The preset speed range can be adjusted according to actual needs. If the rotational speed and / or speed of the motorcycle 100 is within the preset speed range, and the location information is greater than the third preset range for more than a preset time, or if the rotational speed and / or speed of the motorcycle 100 is within the preset speed range, and the signal strength sent by the portable device 200 is not within the third preset strength for more than a preset time, the first controller 193 controls the motorcycle 100 to be powered off. The preset time can be adjusted according to actual needs. If the rotational speed and / or speed of the motorcycle 100 is not within a preset speed range, or if the time for which the third position information is greater than the third preset range does not exceed a preset time, or if the time for which the signal strength sent by the portable device 200 is not within the third preset strength does not exceed a preset time, the motorcycle 100 remains powered on. Through the above settings, if the user forgets to turn off the power to the motorcycle 100 after leaving the vehicle, the motorcycle 100 can be automatically powered off, thereby ensuring the safety and anti-theft features of the motorcycle 100.

[0055] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in one implementation, the unlocking base station 192 is at least partially disposed on the upper side of the frame 11 along the vertical direction of the motorcycle 100, and at least partially disposed on the lower side of the body cover 15 or within the body cover 15. Furthermore, the unlocking base station 192 is also at least partially disposed on the front side of the frame 11. This arrangement effectively avoids the problem of poor communication signal caused by metal objects such as the frame 11 obstructing or encasing the unlocking base station 192; it also allows the unlocking base station 192 to be positioned on a higher side of the motorcycle 100, thereby improving the communication effect between the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200, and improving the waterproofness of the unlocking base station 192. Specifically, the unlocking base station 192 is disposed away from the power assembly 17, that is, the unlocking base station 192 is not disposed on the lower side of the saddle assembly 18. With the above settings, the unlocking base station 192 can be kept away from the high-temperature areas of the motorcycle 100. Even if the unlocking base station 192 is set away from the engine 171 and / or motor 172, the operating temperature of the unlocking base station 192 will be prevented from being too high, thereby improving the working efficiency and communication effect of the unlocking base station 192.

[0056] like Figure 12 As shown, in one implementation, the motorcycle 100 also includes an instrument panel 21 for displaying vehicle information. The body panel 15 includes an instrument cover 151, which is at least partially disposed on the upper side of the frame 11. The instrument panel 21 is at least partially disposed within the instrument cover 151. Specifically, the motorcycle 100 includes a first symmetry plane 101 perpendicular to the left-right direction (see reference). Figure 1The motorcycle 100 is arranged in a basically symmetrical manner with respect to the first symmetry plane 101. The instrument panel 151 is also arranged in a basically symmetrical manner with respect to the first symmetry plane 101. Along the vertical direction of the motorcycle 100, the unlocking base station 192 is at least partially disposed on the lower side of the instrument panel 21, and is arranged in a basically symmetrical manner with respect to the first symmetry plane 101, and is at least partially disposed on the upper side of the frame 11. That is, the unlocking base station 192 is at least partially disposed between the instrument panel 151 and the frame 11. With the above arrangement, the problem of poor communication signal caused by the unlocking base station 192 being blocked or wrapped by metal objects such as the frame 11 can be effectively avoided; the unlocking base station 192 can be placed at a higher position on the motorcycle 100, thereby improving the communication effect between the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200, and improving the waterproofness of the unlocking base station 192. Furthermore, placing the unlocking base station 192 on the lower side of the instrument panel cover 151 effectively avoids the signal weakness on the other side of the motorcycle 100 caused by placing the unlocking base station 192 on one side, thereby improving the communication effect between the motorcycle 100 and the portable device 200. Specifically, the instrument panel cover 151 includes a first body 1511, a second body 1512, and a third body 1513. The first body 1511 and the second body 1512 are connected, the second body 1512 and the third body 1513 are connected, and the third body 1513 is connected to the frame 11. Along the vertical and longitudinal directions of the motorcycle 100, the first body 1511 is at least partially disposed on the rear side of the second body 1512, and the third body 1513 is at least partially disposed on the lower side of the second body 1512 and at least partially disposed on the lower side of the first body 1511. The first body 1511 is used to fix the instrument panel 21. The second main body 1512 is used to connect the first main body 1511 and the third main body 1513, and the third main body 1513 is used to fix the instrument cover 151 to the vehicle frame 11. In this embodiment, the unlocking base station 192 is disposed on the third main body 1513.

[0057] like Figure 13As shown, in one implementation, the motorcycle 100 also includes an air intake assembly 22. The air intake assembly 22 includes an air filter 221, which is mounted on the frame 11 and within the body panel 15. Specifically, the body panel 15 also includes a first cover 152 and a first mounting plate 153. The first cover 152 is disposed above the air filter 221, serving to shield and cover the air filter 221. The first mounting plate 153 is at least partially disposed between the first cover 152 and the air filter 221. The first mounting plate 153 is substantially symmetrically arranged about a first plane of symmetry 101, and the first cover 152 is substantially symmetrically arranged about the first plane of symmetry 101. An unlocking base station 192 is disposed on the first mounting plate. In this embodiment, the unlocking base station 192 can be disposed on the front side of the first mounting plate 153, or it can be disposed on the rear side of the first mounting plate 153. With the above settings, the problem of poor communication signal caused by metal objects such as the frame 11 blocking or covering the unlocking base station 192 can be effectively avoided; the unlocking base station 192 can be placed on the upper side of the motorcycle 100, thereby improving the communication effect between the unlocking base station 192 and the portable device 200, and improving the waterproofness of the unlocking base station 192.
