Abstract:
A three wheeled velocipede for three wheeled transport of a driver and a passenger includes a rear frame. A rear wheel is rotationally coupled to the rear frame. A drive train is coupled to the rear frame and operationally coupled to the rear wheel. The drive train is configured to transfer pedal motion imparted by a driver to the rear wheel. A first seat, positioned to seat the driver, is coupled to the rear frame. A front frame is pivotally coupled to a front end of the rear frame. A second seat is couplable to the front frame. The second seat is positionable to seat a passenger. Each of a pair of front wheels is rotationally coupled to a respective opposing side of the front frame.
Abstract:
A foldable and portable electric vehicle for the transport of a single person comprises a foldable chassis with a support plate, a folding system for folding the chassis, a front driving wheel, a rear wheel, a foldable handlebar, an integrated system of command, control, monitoring and signaling, a mechanical brake on the rear wheel, a suspension on the rear wheel and a suspension on the front wheel, and a steering column.
Abstract:
A bicycle brake unit includes a first arm, a second arm and a connector, when the brake cable is pulled, the first and second cable connectors on the two arms are moved toward each other to pivot the first and second arms. The first rail on the first arm and the second rail on the second arm are moved relative to each other via the rotation of the pivot. The pivot is movable in the elongate slot in the connector which is pivotably connected to the first and second arms. The first and second arms are pivoted toward each other to brake the wheel by the brake pads on the two arms. The first and second arms apply even forces to the two brake pads.
Abstract:
Handbrake assembly for the wheelbarrow is normally "on" and comprises a brake lever pivoted to the wheelbarrow undercarriage. One end of the lever carries a shoe head, the other a fixture for the drive cable of a Bowden wire leading to a bicycle-type handbrake. A spring presses the brake shoe end of the lever so that it engages the wheel.
Abstract:
A reinforced booster for a bicycle brake is substantially U-shaped and attached to the pivot points of the bicycle brake to increase its braking power. The reinforced booster has a substantially U-shaped member with inner and outer peripheral edges which have high strength strands of fiber attached thereto for increasing the strength of the U-shaped member. The strands of fibers extend longitudinally along the peripheral edges of the U-shaped member. Preferably, the U-shaped member is constructed of a plurality of sheets of a non-metallic material. For example, a plurality of carbon sheets can be used to form the U-shaped member. The strands of fibers attached to the peripheral edges of the U-shaped member can be, for example, carbon fibers, polyamide fibers, glass fibers or other reinforced plastic fibers. The free ends of the booster has mounting holes which are preferably formed by strands of fibers.
Abstract:
A pedal actuated brake system is provided for retrofitting onto a multi-speed bicycle so that back pedaling applies the brakes. A decoupler disengages the front chain sprocket from the crank when reverse-rotated to prevent application of the brakes when the bike backs up. The system may be used in addition to or in place of the existing hand brakes.
Abstract:
A safety structure for a hand brake contains: a casing, a body, a roller rotatably, a first brake line, a second brake line, and a third brake line. The first brake line are connected with a first brake and a second brake of a vehicle, and the second brake line is coupled with a first controller on a left handle of the vehicle, the third brake line is coupled with a second controller on a right handle of the vehicle. The first brake line is bent in half and has two shoulders adjacent to the roller, and an outer diameter of each of the two shoulders is more than the first brake line so that when the first brake line is broken, at least one of the two shoulders stops inside the body or the casing, and at least one of the first and second brakes stops the vehicle.
Abstract:
A manual brake structure is employed to stop a bicycle or motorcycle and contains: a casing, a body, a roller, a first brake line, a second brake line, and a third brake line. The casing includes a first cap and a second cap. The body is housed in the casing and includes a first accommodation portion and a second accommodation portion having two first apertures. The roller is housed in the first accommodation portion and includes a trench. The first brake line is bent in half, fitted into the trench, and connected with a first brake and a second brake of the bicycle or motorcycle. The second brake line includes a first stop block and couples with a first controller of the bicycle or motorcycle. The third brake line includes a second stop block and couples with a second controller of the bicycle or motorcycle.

Abstract:
A brake apparatus for a bicycle capable of applying a higher braking force on the front wheel (3) and a lower braking force on the rear wheel (4) given the same force exerted on the levers (7, 8) controlling the front brake (5) and the rear brake (6) so to prevent early locking of the rear wheel of the bicycle during braking while leaving the cyclist the possibility to separately control the front brake (5) and the rear brake (6).
