Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a battery support for a battery. As an example, the battery support comprises a first frame, a second frame spaced apart from the first frame to define a cavity, and a movable frame member positionable in the cavity. The movable frame member comprises a first interface configured to interface with a corresponding second interface of the first frame when the movable frame member is moved in a first direction toward the first frame. The movable frame member cooperates with the second frame to define a battery cavity sized to receive the battery and to restrict movement of the movable frame member in a second direction opposite the first direction when the battery is received by the battery cavity.

Abstract: A foot support is directly supported by a structurally stressed but removable part of a vehicle frame. In particular, a foot support assembly includes a frame member and a foot support, such as a foot peg. The frame member forms a part of the load-bearing structure of the frame assembly, and the foot support is mounted to the frame member without any intervening brackets or components therebetween. The frame member is fixed at each end to a respective frame component and is configured to bear a portion of the load supported by the frame assembly. In some applications, frame components may include stressed engine members, such as a crankcase.

Abstract: The enclosed disclosure relates to the use of handlebar risers on vehicles that have handlebar assemblies. The embodiments described within provide an improvement in the way a display is mounted on a vehicle with a handlebar riser. In the described embodiment enclosed, a display mount is integral to the structure of a handlebar riser, configured to provide rigidity to the subsystem in addition to raising the height of the display closer to the operator. More specifically a vehicle with a plurality of ground engaging members and a steering system configured to steer the vehicle, wherein the steering system comprises a plurality of generally vertical tubes, a steering arm and a support structure having a first portion extending between the generally vertical tubes and a second portion configured to support a display device.

Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end extending along a longitudinally-extending centerline, a front ground-engaging member operably coupled to the front end of the frame assembly at a front rotational axis, and a rear ground-engaging member operably coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly at a rear rotational axis. The vehicle further includes an engine supported by the frame assembly and operably coupled to the front and rear ground-engaging members, and the engine includes a throttle body assembly. Additionally, the vehicle includes an air intake assembly fluidly coupled to the engine and including an airbox and a mounting plate having a first channel and a second channel. The first and second channels are configured to align with the throttle body assembly. The mounting plate is configured to couple the airbox to the throttle body assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle including a system for transferring energy between on-board vehicle components and/or between on-board and external components. The vehicle is configured to heat various components through induction to provide comfort to the rider and/or to transfer energy for charging one or more vehicle components.

Abstract: A lighting system for a vehicle having a housing, a plurality of elements generating an intensity of light and a controller. The controller selectively changing the intensity of at least one of the plurality of elements based on a sensed condition.
