Abstract: An ebike comprises a front wheel, a rear wheel, a frame structure supported on the front wheel and the rear wheel, a crank assembly, and a battery assembly. The frame structure can include a front fork supported on the front wheel, a head tube coupled to the front fork, and a down tube extending downward and rearward from the head tube, the down tube defining a down tube axis and being open at its lower end. The crank assembly can be supported by the frame structure and can be rotatable about a crank axis that is spaced rearward from the down tube axis. The battery assembly can be at least partially secured in the down tube in an installed position and can be slidable into the down tube from the lower end of the down tube along the down tube axis.

Abstract: A helmet is provided that can include a cage defining a front end, a back end opposite the front end, a first lateral end and a second lateral end opposite the first lateral end. The cage can include multiple longitudinal beams that extend between the back end of the cage and the front end of the cage; and a transverse beam that extends between the first lateral end of the cage and the second lateral end of the cage. The transverse beam can be anchored to the multiple longitudinal beams. The helmet can include a body that fully encapsulates the multiple longitudinal beams of the cage and that partially encapsulates the transverse beam. The body can define multiple vents. Each vent can be situated between two adjacent longitudinal beams. The transverse beam can extend through one of the multiple vents.

Abstract: A suspension assembly for a cycle includes a link and an indicator having a central opening. The indicator includes a first retention feature. A pivot assembly is disposed in the link. The pivot assembly includes a second retention feature. The first retention feature and the second retention feature cooperate to axially retain the indicator on the pivot assembly while allowing rotational movement between the indicator and the pivot assembly when a force threshold is exceeded.

Abstract: A bicycle assembly can have a main frame, a subframe, and a shock absorber. The subframe can move in relation to the main frame, and the shock absorber can be used to regulate that relationship. A linkage can be connected to the shock absorber, the main frame, and a chain stay of the subframe to drive the shock absorber as the subframe is moved with respect to the main frame.
