    摘要: Methods and systems for operating powersport vehicles during an operator-vehicle separation condition are provided. One method includes detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using a first tetherless criterion and a second tetherless criterion. In response to detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using both the first tetherless criterion and the second tetherless criterion, the method includes preventing propulsion of the powersport vehicle.

    摘要: There are described herein methods and systems for operating an electric motor of a watercraft. In one method, the electric motor of the watercraft is controlled based on commands received from an accelerator of the watercraft, a sensor signal is received from at least one sensor of the watercraft while the electric motor is in operation, the sensor signal indicative of an undesirable condition of a water intake of the watercraft, and a change is effected to the controlling of the electric motor in response to receiving the sensor signal.

    摘要: An electric vehicle including an electric motor and a battery system to provide electrical power to the electric motor. A first input device, when actuated, provides a first input representing a command to propel the electric vehicle. A second input device, when actuated, provides a second input for initiating a boost operating mode. A controller is operative to control a permitted rate of change of a selected operating parameter of the electric motor. The controller, in a normal operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a first rate of change for the selected operating parameter in response to the first input, and in a boost operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a second rate of change, greater than the first, for the selected operating parameter for a limited period of time in response to the first input.

    摘要: In one aspect, responsive to determining that an electric vehicle is connected to an external power source, an operator interface of the electric vehicle is enabled to command a headlight of the electric vehicle into an off condition. Responsive to determining that the electric vehicle is disconnected from the external power source and that the electric motor of the electric vehicle is powered, the headlight of the electric vehicle is maintained in an on condition, and the operator interface from commanding the headlight into the off condition is disabled. In another aspect, an electric vehicle headlight may be rendered non-deactivatable when an accelerator of the electric vehicle is enabled, and the headlight may be rendered deactivatable when an accelerator of the electric vehicle is disabled.
