Abstract: Panniers according to the present disclosure may be transitionable between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. Transitioning between the collapsed configuration and the deployed configuration may include unlatching an outboard rigid wall from its position adjacent an inboard rigid wall, such that the pannier automatically springs into the deployed configuration.

Abstract: An electric assist vehicle is described, which may have a cargo area, a drivetrain including an external crankset and an electric motor, and a speed control system. The speed control system automatically limits the maximum operating speed of the vehicle based, at least in part, on a load mass (e.g., a gross weight) of the vehicle and/or the cargo area of the vehicle. Limiting the speed includes, for example, reducing the power of the electric motor and/or increasing a braking force on the vehicle.

Abstract: A derailleur-based electronic transmission system for an electric bicycle comprises a wheel; a driven sprocket set coupled to the wheel via at least a first one-way clutch, the driven sprocket set comprising two or more concentric sprockets of different effective diameters; a drive chain configured to engage the driven sprocket set; an electronically controllable derailleur configured to move the drive chain among the two or more sprockets; a pedal crank configured to cause rotation of the driven sprocket set by providing a user pedal force to the driven sprocket set through at least a second one-way clutch and the drive chain; a motor configured to cause rotation of the driven sprocket set by providing an electromechanical force to the driven sprocket set through at least a the drive chain; and an electronic controller configured to, responsive to a determination that a shift should occur at a time when neither the pedal crank nor the motor is causing rotation of the driven sprocket: operate the motor to rotate the driven sprocket at a rotational speed less than or equal to a current rotational speed of the wheel; and operate the derailleur to cause the shift to occur while the driven sprocket is being rotated by the motor.

Abstract: A self-adjusting suspension system according to the present disclosure may be incorporated into an electric vehicle design by way of an integrated air supply system. The integrated air supply system measures and adjusts amounts of pressurized air within pneumatic components of the electric vehicle to provide a predetermined desired amount of suspension. The integrated air supply system also may be used to provide air to pneumatic tires of the vehicle, without the need for an external pump.
