Abstract: A safety device ignition interlock system for a vehicle. The system includes an ignition interlock receiver and controller located on a vehicle and a pairing located on the vehicle operable for pairing the ignition interlock receiver to operate in cooperation with selected ignition interlock transmitters. The ignition interlock receiver and controller is operable for activating an ignition circuit when the ignition interlock transmitter is within an operational distance from an ignition interlock receiver located on a safety device that has been paired with the ignition interlock receiver. By way of examples, the vehicle may be a motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, off road vehicle, jets ski, powerboat, construction vehicle, forklift, or utility vehicle and the safety device may be a helmet, hard hat, life jacket or high-visibility vest. The system may also include a remote monitoring and control system.

Abstract: An electric vehicle with controls for changing the operational parameters of the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. These controls are preferably located on the steering wheel, steering column, or other locations where the selectors can be accessed by the operator while facing forward operating the vehicle from an intended operator's seating position. With the selectors in the heads-up position, the operator does not have to look away from the road to change the operational settings of the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: A wide track electric vehicle or low speed electric vehicle (LSV) with desirable attributes for street use, including a wheel base to wheel track ratio of not more than about 1.3 to 1, location of the passenger seats inside the wheels, and a turning radius of no more than 20 feet and preferably no more than 17.5 feet.

Abstract: A low speed electric vehicle (LSV) with an off-grid battery charger to extend the range of the vehicle including an internal combustion battery charging generator carried in the trunk space of the vehicle and an optional solar panel mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The internal combustion battery charging generator is distinguished from a conventional hybrid vehicle engine in that the battery charging generator is not mechanically connected to the vehicle drive train, but is instead only electrically connected to the traction battery as a battery charger. The internal combustion battery charging generator is provides sufficient battery charging energy to keep the batteries functionally charged during normal vehicle operation so that contents of a full gas tank and a fully charged battery bank can be consumed during continuous operation of the vehicle.
