20150353160 | VERTICALLY FOLDING BICYCLE WITH LOCKING MECHANISM - The present invention is a folding bicycle that folds along a vertical axis into a compact, free standing unit. Specifically, the present invention comprises a front frame assembly and a rear frame assembly connected at a hinge point. The method of folding the bicycle is quick and easy, resulting in a folded position wherein the front and rear wheels are near adjacent. An optional bushing assembly at the hinge point laterally separates the front and rear frame assemblies as the bicycle folds. The folded bicycle can be easily rolled while folded to another location. When stationary, the seat post and saddle act as a floor rest to keep the folded bicycle balanced in its upright position. The folding mechanism can be locked or unlocked using a remote wireless device, such as a mobile phone. | 12-10-2015 |
20150375820 | FOLDABLE ELECTRIC BICYCLE - A foldable bicycle includes a frame, a front wheel assembly, and a rear wheel assembly. The frame defines a pivot axis. The front wheel assembly is disposed on the frame and configured to rotate about the pivot axis. The rear wheel assembly is disposed on the frame and defines an opening for receiving the front wheel assembly when the bicycle is folded. | 12-31-2015 |
20160016625 | MODULAR BICYCLE - An e-bike center module includes a substantially straight first center module connecting surface that is releasably connectable to a substantially straight front module connecting surface. A substantially straight second center module connecting surface is releasably connectable to a substantially straight rear module connecting surface. the center module is part of a bicycle frame when the first center module connecting surface is connected to the front module connecting surface and the second center module connecting surface is connected to the rear module connecting surface. | 01-21-2016 |
20160016630 | BICYCLE FRAME JOINT LOCKING MECHANISM - An apparatus, includes a first pair of brackets coupled to a first bicycle frame component, and one of the first pair of brackets has a radially-inwardly extending first protrusion. The apparatus includes a first gear component coupled to a second bicycle frame component, and the gear component is rotatably coupled within the first pair of brackets. The first gear component has a first set of recesses radially spaced from each other about a periphery thereof. The apparatus further includes a first clamping component engaging at least one of the first pair of brackets and selectively biasing the first protrusion into one of the first set of recesses to rotatably lock the first gear component with respect to the first pair of brackets. | 01-21-2016 |
20160068218 | FOLDING BICYCLE AND METHOD OF USE - A folding bicycle and method for folding the folding bicycle is provided. The folding bicycle comprises a frame having a first end and a second end; a first wheel connected to the second end of the frame, the first wheel and the frame being located in a first plane; a fork having a first end and a second end, the second end of the fork pivotally connected to the first end of the frame thereby allowing the fork to pivot about the first plane; a second wheel connected to the first end of the fork, the second wheel and the fork being located in a second plane; a first pivot member having a first pivot axis to allow the first end of the fork to pivot towards the second end of the fork about the first pivot axis; a second pivot member having a second pivot axis to allow the first end of the frame to pivot towards the second end of the frame about the second pivot axis; and a third pivot member having a third pivot axis to allow the second end of the frame to pivot towards the first end of the frame about the third pivot axis. | 03-10-2016 |
