    摘要: The present invention obtains a controller capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle. The present invention also obtains a rider-assistance system including such a controller. The present invention further obtains a control method capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle.
    Surrounding environment information of a straddle-type vehicle (100) is acquired on the basis of output of at least one surrounding environment detector (11). Then, based on the surrounding environment information, presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) is analyzed. As a result, rider-assistance operation that corresponds to the analysis result is executed.

The bottom cover is fixed to the top cover and includes a first bottom cover and a second bottom cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The inner cover is fixed between the top cover and the bottom cover and includes a first inner cover and a second inner cover disposed symmetrically and rotatable relative to each other. The rotating mechanism is fixed between the first inner cover and the second inner cover. The two wheels are rotatably fixed at two sides of the inner cover, respectively. The two hub motors are fixed in the two wheels, respectively. The plurality of sensors is disposed between the bottom cover and the inner cover, respectively. The power supply is fixed between the first bottom cover and the first inner cover.

    摘要: A modular robotic vehicle (MRV) having a modular chassis configured for a vehicle utilizing two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, six-wheel steering, eight-wheel steering controlled by a semiautonomous system or an autonomous driving system, either system is associated with operating modes which may include a two-wheel steering mode, an all-wheel steering mode, a traverse steering mode, a park mode, or an omni-directional mode utilized for steering sideways, driving diagonally or move crab like. Accordingly, during semiautonomous control a driver of the modular robotic vehicle may utilize smart I/O devices including a smartphone, tablet like devices, or a control panel to select a preferred driving mode. The driver may communicate navigation instructions via smart I/O devices to control steering, speed and placement of the MRV in respect to the operating mode. Accordingly, GPS and a wireless network provides navigation instructions during an autonomous operation involving driving, parking, docking or connecting to another MRV.

    摘要: A stationary jumping and trick bike is disclosed. An example device includes a frame assembly having a handlebar on a forward portion of the frame assembly and a seat on the frame assembly. A leg member including a leaf spring is connected to the frame assembly by a bracket having a plurality of ports selectable for pivotably attaching the leg member to the frame assembly to adjust pitch and/or angle of attachment of the leg member. A plurality of tensioners are connected between the leg member and the frame assembly. A foot rest is provided on the frame assembly. A standing and/or seated user holding the handlebar on the frame assembly can practice jumps and tricks by lifting and landing a lower portion of the leg member on a solid surface.

    摘要: A rear wheel suspension adjusting arrangement for use in a vehicle includes a configuration adjusting arrangement and an activating arrangement. The vehicle includes a frame having a front and a back, a suspended rear drive wheel that supports the frame, and a suspension system for connecting the rear drive wheel to the frame. The configuration adjusting arrangement is capable of changing the positioning of the suspension system relative to the frame such that the suspension system may be moved into an uphill configuration when the vehicle is traveling uphill and such that the suspension system may be moved into a downhill configuration when the vehicle is traveling downhill. The activating arrangement activates the changing of the configuration adjusting arrangement to cause the configuration adjusting arrangement to change the positioning of the suspension system relative to the frame while the vehicle is being used.
