  • Patent number: 11565769
    Abstract: An ebike includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a frame assembly supported on the front wheel and the rear wheel, a battery, and a battery latching assembly to secure the battery to the frame assembly. The battery latching assembly includes a latch member movable among (1) a secured position in which the latch member is configured to secure the battery in a fully mounted position, (2) an open position in which the latch member is configured to maintain the battery in a partially mounted position, and (3) a released position in which the latch member is configured to release the battery. The battery latching assembly also includes a release member coupled to the latch member and movable among (1) a first position in which the latch member is maintained in the secured position, (2) a second position in which the latch member is maintained in the open position and (3) a third position in which the latch member is maintained in the release position.

  • Publication number: 20160152088
    Abstract: Tire (1) for two-wheeled vehicle, comprising tread (2) with elastomeric knobs (3) extending radially from base surface (4), and comprising first portion (31) of height h1 extending radially between base surface (4) and second portion (32) of height h2. First portion (31) comprises radially exterior face (311) of area S1, and second portion (32) comprises radially interior face (321) of area S2. Radially exterior face (311) and radially interior face (321) have noncoincident respective exterior contours and are in contact with one another via a contact area S12. A hand-cutting operation is made simple, quick and repeatable by providing an area S12 at most equal to 0.6 times the area S1 of the radially exterior face (311).

  • Publication number: 20160107618
    Abstract: A method for simplifying the conventional pressure monitoring and/or adjustment method for a mounted assembly for a vehicle, in particular for a two-wheeled vehicle, and, more precisely, reducing the number of steps in the method, and a pressure monitoring and/or adjustment device for the use of this method. A mounted assembly has a tire, preferably tubeless, mounted on a rim and inflated to an initial pressure, the tire having an inner surface forming the wall of the tire cavity, in contact with the internal air, the wall of the tire cavity being at least partially covered with a self-sealing material. An inflation interface is introduced into the tire cavity by piercing a hole in the wall of the tire cavity in an area covered by the self-sealing material, the inflation interface is extracted from the tire cavity after inflation, and the pierced hole in the wall of the tire cavity is sealed spontaneously by the self-sealing material, after the extraction of the inflation interface.
