Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle. The vehicle generally includes a frame to support an engine and one or more supports, such as wheels, to support the frame. The engine may include an internal combustion power plant and a fuel supply system therefore.
Claims20
A wheeled motorized vehicle assembly comprising:
- a frame extending from a front portion to a rear portion;
- a seat assembly coupled to the frame;
- a controller coupled to the seat assembly, the controller including a processing assembly;
- one or more sensors coupled with the frame and in communication with the controller;
- and
- one or more vibrational motor assemblies located within the seat assembly, the one or more vibrational motor assemblies in communication with the controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the one or more vibrational motor assemblies to provide haptic feedback to a rider according to a sensed signal from at least one sensor of the one or more sensors processed by the processing assembly.
4 more elements
A wheeled motorized vehicle comprising:
- a frame assembly;
- a seat assembly supported by the frame assembly and configured to support a rider;
- a plurality of vibrational motor assemblies positioned within the seat assembly, the plurality of vibrational motor assemblies including:
- a right vibrational motor assembly located in a right portion of the seat assembly;
- a left vibrational motor assembly located in a left portion of the seat assembly;
- and
- at least one additional vibrational motor assembly located in one of a forward portion or a rear portion of the seat assembly;
- a sensor configured to detect an object proximate to the wheeled motorized vehicle, the sensor configured to generate a signal according to sensed objects proximate to the wheeled motorized vehicle;
- and
- a controller in communication with the sensor and the plurality of vibrational motor assemblies;
- wherein the controller configured to determine a position of a detected the object relative to the wheeled motorized vehicle based on the signal;
- wherein the controller is configured to selectively activate at least one of the plurality of vibrational motor assemblies to provide haptic feedback to the rider.
9 more elements
A method of providing haptic feedback to a rider of a wheeled motorized vehicle assembly, the method comprising:
- detecting, with at least one sensor, an object proximate to the wheeled motorized vehicle assembly;
- generating a signal based on the detected object;
- communicating the signal to a controller;
- determining, with the controller, a position of the object relative to the wheeled motorized vehicle assembly based on the signal;
- activating a vibrational motor assembly;
- wherein the vibrational motor assembly is located within a seat assembly of the wheeled motorized vehicle assembly;
- and
- providing directional haptic feedback to the rider through vibration of the vibrational motor assembly.
