  • Patent number: 10940911
    Abstract: A motorcycle has a front part and a rear part, the front part including handlebars and a handlebar stem with which there is associated an electronic damper controlled by a control unit controlling the action of the damper on the handlebars, provision being made for a device detecting the angle of rotation of the handlebars and the velocity of rotation of the handlebar stem within a handlebar head of the frame. The control unit includes a first block which receives data on the velocity of rotation of the handlebar stem and which on the basis of such velocity determines the presence of oscillating or weave movement of the motorcycle or a wobble movement of the handlebars, the first block of the control unit being connected to a second block and a third block of such unit which alternatively generate a control signal intended to damp the handlebar stem on the basis of the determination made by the first block so that any weave and/or wobble movement is cancelled out.

  • Patent number: 10384742
    Abstract: A system (1) for controlling the motion of an impulsive-type human-powered vehicle (100), includes: a motor (2) associable to at least one vehicle (100) driving element, suitable for generating a total torque/driving force (T); a system (4) for storing energy to be supplied to the motor (2); a sensor (5) for detecting the vehicle (100) longitudinal speed (v); a module (7) for controlling a main torque/driving force (T?) of the motor (2) based on at least the signal representative of the vehicle (100) longitudinal speed (v); a module (9) for determining the vehicle longitudinal acceleration (Ax); a module (8) for estimating the presence or absence of a thrust (Fk) of the user on the vehicle (100); an activation signal when it is estimated the absence of the thrust (Fk) of the user: a deactivation signal when it is estimated the presence of the thrust (Fk) of the user.
