Abstract: An interactive system for use in connection with recreational vehicle usage includes a server system, including an off-road trail database containing trail data, trail condition information, and points-of-interest information, as well as a trip mapping system accessible by any of a plurality of riders, allowing a rider to create a route based on the data in the off-road trip database. The server system further includes a trail maintenance interface accessible by users affiliated with an authorized group to edit the trail data, trail condition information, and points-of-interest information associated with the authorized group. The server system includes a location data management system configured to receive location data, allowing a rider to publish location information to one or more other riders, and a user feedback interface configured to receive trip data from riders for publication, including information describing an actual route and user data associated with that route.

Abstract: A hybrid personal watercraft combines features of pontoon boats and deck boats, in a cost-effective and versatile package. The watercraft includes port and starboard sponsons which combine a pair of outboard flotation cavities. A space below the deck and above the hull bottom creates at least one, and potentially up to three additional flotation cavities, which may also be used as storage areas accessible by an access door in the bow of the watercraft and/or a set of hatches in the deck. The watercraft may be efficiently produced assembled from polymer materials, such as thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO).

Abstract: A implement system for powersport vehicles have implements attachable to the powersport vehicles. The implements have a modular electric motor unit that may be toollessly attached to the implement providing operational power to the implement. A mower implement has a mower deck and a suspension assembly that provides a forward rearward pivot axis and a left right pivot axis when hitched to the powersport vehicle. A receiving region for the electric motor unit is positioned in the suspension assembly. The mower deck may be rotated about the left right pivot axis to an upright position and latched at the position. The single motor in the receiving region connecting to three mower blade pulleys for rotating three mower blades by the one electric motor unit utilizing a pulley system.

Abstract: A vehicle may include a continuously variable transmission which requires non-recycled air. The continuously variable transmission may provide non-recycled air to a first number of sheaves of the continuously variable transmission with a second number of air supply conduits, the second number being less than the first number. A cover of the continuously variable transmission may have a unitary body.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing safety of a vehicle for which a rider wears a helmet are provided. An example system include a passive tag reader and a controller in communication with the passive tag reader. The controller includes a processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to perform a set of operations. The set of operations include: receiving an indication from the passive tag reader corresponding to a passive tag; evaluating the passive tag; and configuring a vehicle-limiting mode based on the evaluation.

Abstract: A vehicle control system for recreational vehicles, designed to enhance the security and functionality of communication between various devices. The system includes a first communication bus for connecting devices, such as a first vehicle controller, responsible for controlling critical vehicle functions. Additionally, a second communication bus is provided for connecting devices, including a second vehicle controller, tasked with managing peripheral vehicle functions. The two communication buses are linked by a gateway device that enables communication between them. To ensure a secure communication environment, the system incorporates at least one firewall, which selectively allows information to pass from the second communication bus to the first communication bus via the gateway. This arrangement provides increased security and reliability in the communication and control of essential vehicle functions, while allowing for flexibility in the management of peripheral functions.
