    摘要: A wireless power system for vehicle wheels is described. The system includes a magnetic field generator, e.g., a permanent magnet, embedded or disposed in a fixed position, e.g., in a wheel well or brake caliper(s), and a wireless power receiver embedded or disposed in a wheel rim or wheel trim. As the wheel rotates and receiver antenna(s) cross a flux path produced by the power transmitter, an alternating current signal is produced at the receiver, which is converted to a direct current signal, regulated, and delivered to various electronic components in the vehicle wheel. The received power can be used to charge a battery or power light emitting diodes (LEDs). A wireless communication module embedded in the vehicle wheel can be used to wirelessly control and monitor the electronic components, e.g., to change intensity or strobe periodicity of LEDs or monitor sensors.

    摘要: An auxiliary buffering device comprises upper and lower frames assembled with a bicycle saddle. A first elastic unit is disposed between first ends of the upper and lower frames and is compressible and restorable in a vertical direction. A second elastic unit is disposed between second ends of the upper and lower frames, is compressible and restorable in a horizontal direction, and includes first and second transverse springs. Each of the upper and lower frames includes first and second lateral rods. Two ends of the first transverse spring extend from an end of the first lateral rod of the upper frame and an end of the first lateral rod of the lower frame, respectively. Two ends of the second transverse spring extend from an end of the second lateral rod of the upper frame and an end of the second lateral rod of the lower frame, respectively.

    摘要: A bicycle battery assembly comprises a bicycle frame tube, such as a down tube. A battery is adapted to be inserted through a battery opening in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle frame tube. For allowing for a simple fixing of the battery to the bicycle frame tube, in particular by means of screws, an installation aid is connected to the battery and/or the bicycle frame tube, in particular in the area of the battery opening. The installation aid allows for an easy installation since in particular screw holes in the bicycle frame tube are flush with threaded bore holes in the battery.

    摘要: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a transmission device to shift a ratio of a rotational speed of a wheel to a rotational speed of a crank axle. The controller controls the transmission device between first, second, and third control states. The controller controls the transmission device in the first control state for a predetermined period in a case where the human-powered vehicle starts to travel until a vehicle state becomes a predetermined state. The controller switches from the first to the second control state if the vehicle state becomes the predetermined state. The controller switches from the first to the third control state if a human driving force input to the human-powered vehicle becomes greater than a predetermined driving force during the predetermined period. Shifting of the ratio is more restricted in the first control state than the second and third control states.

    摘要: A water bottle holding device is mounted on top of a top tube of a bicycle frame and located behind a head tube, and includes a water bottle and a water bottle cage. The water bottle includes a water bottle body, a water bottle cap, and a mouthpiece. The water bottle body has a blocking rim on a periphery of a front end thereof and a first engaging portion on each of two sides thereof. The water bottle cage has a width about equal to or less than a width of a stem body of a bicycle stem. The water bottle cage has a receiving room at a front section thereof, a positioning baffle on each of two sides thereof, a second engaging portion on an inner side of the positioning baffle, locking holes passing through a bottom thereof, and a rear end that is an open end.
