    摘要: A cycle has a frame, a seat, a rear wheel, a front fork and handlebar, a front wheel rotatably secured to the front fork, and first and second pedals removably connected to the front wheel. The seat has a base, a top portion pivotally connected to the base to move between an open position and a closed position, and a cavity between the base and the top portion that is accessible when the top portion is in open position. The cavity has receivers that are sized to hold the first and second pedals after the first and second pedals are removed from the front wheel. The top portion can be moved to the closed position when the first and second pedals are in the receivers to store the first and second pedals in the cavity of the seat.

    摘要: A rider-posture changing device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a first member, a second member, a first detector, a second detector, and a controller. The first member extends in a longitudinal direction. The second member is configured to be movable relative to the first member in the longitudinal direction. The first detector is configured to detect first information indicating whether the second member reaches an absolute position or not. The second detector is configured to detect second information indicating a movement distance of the second member from a reference position in the longitudinal direction. The controller is configured to obtain a current position of the second member relative to the first member based on the second information and the reference position. The controller is configured to store the absolute position as the reference position in accordance with the first information.

    摘要: A height-adjustable seatpost with shock absorption includes an outer tube, an inner tube, a height adjustment mechanism, and a shock absorber. The inner tube is vertically movable disposed in the outer tube and includes a head located outside the outer tube and a bottom situated inside the outer tube. The height adjustment mechanism is located inside the inner tube and is configured to drive the inner tube to move relative to the outer tube. The height adjustment mechanism includes a stopper positioned above a stop flange on an inner wall of the inner tube and can be abutted against the stop flange. The shock absorber has two ends respectively abutted against the head of the inner tube and the stopper. The above-described design of the seatpost can prevent the saddle from being raised to an unexpected height for the rider.

    摘要: A dropper post assembly for supporting a bicycle seat can include an outer tube and an inner tube telescopically receivable in the outer tube and slidable within the outer tube between a retracted position in which a lower end of the inner tube is proximate a lower end of the outer tube and an extended position in which the lower end of the inner tube is axially spaced from the lower end of the outer tube. An actuator assembly may include an actuator body having a mounting portion connected to the lower end of the outer tube and a cartridge rod receiving portion and may be configured so that when the inner tube is in the retracted position at least the upper surface of the cartridge rod receiving portion is nested within the inner tube.

    摘要: There is described a bicycle seat post assembly in which the travel distance of the seat post can be adjusted. The seat post assembly includes an outer tube that is configured to telescopically receive an inner tube. The inner tube is axially slidable relative to the outer tube between a retracted position and an extended position, the extended position being determined by an extension assembly in which an inner contact member engages an outer contact member, thereby setting the upper limit of axial extension of the inner tube. The extension of the inner tube can be limited to an intermediate position that lies between the retracted and extended positions by an insertable shim that is positionable between the inner and outer contact members.

    摘要: A saddle includes a main body, a protecting layer, a sensing module, a base cover and a bow element. An inside of the main body defines an accommodating space. A rear end of the bottom surface of the main body is recessed inward to form a notch. The protecting layer is attached to a top of the main body. The sensing module is disposed in the accommodating space through the notch. The sensing module includes a circuit board and a barometric pressure sensor. The barometric pressure sensor is disposed on a top surface of the circuit board. The barometric pressure sensor and the main body are separated by the accommodating space. The base cover is disposed to the bottom surface of the main body. Atop surface of the base cover extends upward to form a fastening pillar. The fastening pillar is inserted into the accommodating space.

    摘要: A straddle vehicle including a seat assembly with at least one seating area for a person straddling the vehicle. The seat assembly includes a seat base, and one or more upholstery layers disposed atop the seat base. A frame of the straddle vehicle supports the seat assembly. The seat base and the frame form a mount for securing the seat assembly into an assembled position with respect to the frame. A body structure is coupled to the frame in an assembled position directly adjacent to a peripheral edge portion of the seat assembly such that, in their respective assembled positions, the peripheral edge portion contacts an interfering portion of the body structure. The seat base, in the peripheral edge portion, is partitioned into a plurality of flexible fingers that conform to a shape of the interfering portion of the body structure.
