Devices and methods of use are provided for lifting and locking the rear drive track assembly and front ski assembly of a motorized snow vehicle into an elevated position off the ground. The devices comprise wheels for stably maneuvering the elevated snow vehicle over a dry surface.

A method for controlling a self-balancing vehicle to park is disclosed. The method is performed by the self-balancing vehicle and includes: sending a message of requesting for parking assistance to a surveillance camera device for controlling the self-balancing vehicle to park; receiving a first response message returned from the surveillance camera device according to the message of requesting for parking assistance, the first response message including parking instruction information for controlling the self-balancing vehicle to travel from a current location of the self-balancing vehicle to a target location; and controlling the self-balancing vehicle to travel from the current location to the target location and to park according to the parking instruction information.

A bicycle rack for use in providing temporary parking for a large number of bicycles, comprising a rail and a plurality of tire trays evenly spaced, along said rail and pivotal in motion from a parallel position to said rail to a depioyed position, substantially perpendicular to said rail, each said tire tray including a recessed wheel bed for seating a wheel of a bicycle therein. The wheel beds are adjustable to accommodate bicycles with tires of various widths. The tire trays have channels for holding printed signs. The rack is compact, modular, and stable. The rack breaks down for easy transport and storage and facilitates both, the rapid setup and breakdown of an orderly temporary parking area for a large number of bicycles. The rack is well suited for multisport races where an orderly transition area significantly enhances the profile of the event.

A bicycle mounting device for storing and transporting a bicycle in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The mounting device includes a frame formed by a pair of longitudinal members and a first and second lateral member each affixed at opposing ends thereof. A sliding bicycle support is operably connected to the pair of longitudinal members and can receive the bicycle in a horizontal orientation. In some embodiments, the first end of the frame is raised relative to the second end thereof. In use, the device is placed in a trunk of a vehicle and the horizontally oriented bicycle is placed on the sliding support. The bicycle can then be pushed into the trunk by the sliding support moving from the first to the second end of the frame. The pair of longitudinal members form a gap to receive a tire of the bicycle when stored in the vertical orientation.

A unified carrier cargo rack and storage system for a vehicle including a receiver unit installed in the rear of the vehicle and a modular carrier rack, including a transitional carrier bar, a secondary bar and a cargo carrier bar, wherein the cargo carrier bar is further operable to engage and immobilize cargo; are disclosed as are male and female securing mechanisms.

An intelligent transfer vehicle for shared bicycles includes: a cockpit, a vehicle body platform, shared bicycle parking racks, a wheeled device, a power source unit, and a vehicle-mounted unit. The intelligent transfer vehicle combines the function of a parking platform and a transfer platform into one, and can have three transfer modes to reduce reliance on a dispatch center, save costs and improve transfer efficiency.

The invention is directed systems, methods, and devices for a modular charging station configured to be expanded or retracted to accommodate and charge a variable number of light electric personal mobility vehicles, and in particular electric two-wheeled, self-balancing, non-tandem light electric personal mobility vehicles. Additional embodiments include a novel vehicle adaptor configured to be coupled to a light electric personal mobility vehicle that is further in electrical communication with the vehicle's battery therewith, that can further be coupled with a receiving dock on a modular charging station that is configured to communicate with, and electrically charge the vehicle's battery from a power supply.

Disclosed herein is a novel electric motorcycle charging stand and methods of using such a novel electric motorcycle charging stand for charging an electric motorcycle. Such stands present an opportunity to include functionality for storing energy and incorporate electronical components in the stand to charge electric motorcycles when not in use. In one embodiment a detached motorcycle stand can be arranged to stores electrical energy (for example, via an electrical energy storage element) and enables charging of an electric motorcycle (for example, via a charging enablement element). Thus, energy can be stored when there is convenient access to the electrical power grid and the electric motorcycle can then be charged in environments and locations that do not have ready access to the electrical grid.
