ELECTRIC BICYCLE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B62M7/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the field of engineering, in particular to bicycles. Bicycle includes a frame, a magnet, first and second electromagnets, a steering wheel and a controller. Frame includes first and second segments pivotable relative to each other. Magnet is fixed relative to the first segment. First electromagnet is fixed relative to the second segment and is located in the magnetic field of the magnet. Controller is configured to supply power to the first electromagnet. Steering wheel is detachably coupled to the first segment and is arranged to move between extended and retracted positions. Controller is configured to supply power to the second electromagnet in order to attract the ferromagnetic part to hold the steering wheel in the extended position. Mechanical lock engages the steering wheel and the first segment when the steering wheel is in the extended position. Bicycle comprises a frame, a magnet, an electromagnet, a controller, a hinge and a spring. Controller is configured to power the electromagnet in order to repel the magnet in order to unfold the frame. Hinge is located between the first and second segments. Spring is engaged with the hinge and presses the first segment and the second segment to the unfolded position.

EFFECT: compact vehicle is achieved.
