Mounting assembly and vehicle having same

A vehicle comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of cowlings connected to the frame;
• a propulsion assembly supported by the frame;
• and
• a mounting assembly for selectively connecting a device to the vehicle,
• the mounting assembly comprising:
• at least one cowling of the plurality of cowlings;
• a magnet disposed on an interior side of the at least one cowling;
• a support surface defined on an exterior side of the at least one cowling, the support surface defining a receiving recess, the receiving recess being in alignment with the magnet along a normal of the support surface;
• a ferromagnetic plate configured to connect to the device, the ferromagnetic plate being sized and shaped to be received in the receiving recess, the ferromagnetic plate being selectively magnetically connected to the magnet, and
• when the ferromagnetic plate is connected to the device and received in the receiving recess:
• the ferromagnetic plate is magnetically connected to the magnet, and
• in response to a force causing the ferromagnetic plate to disconnect from the magnet, a bottom edge of the device contacts the support surface at a contact point positioned below the receiving recess, and the device pivots about a pivot axis passing through the contact point.
