Electronic security device for a bicycle
First Claim
1. A bicycle, the bicycle comprising:
- a frame;
a hollow space configured within the frame;
at least one opening configured in the frame, the at least one opening connected to the hollow space;
an electronic security device configured to be accommodated within the hollow space of the frame, the electronic security device comprising a retractable locking shackle configured to assume a locked position and a retracted position by moving through the at least one opening configured in the frame,wherein the locked position of the retractable locking shackle restricts a movement of a wheel of the bicycle, and the retracted position enables a free movement of the wheel of the bicycle;
a rechargeable battery for providing power to the electronic security device;
a charging port for recharging the rechargeable battery,wherein the charging port comprises a first charging port connector disposed on the frame of the bicycle, the first charging port connector comprising one or more pins electrically coupled to the electronic security device; and
a second charging port connector comprising a first end and a second end, the second end configured to be electrically coupled to a power source and the first end comprising one or more pins configured to engage with the one or more pins of the first charging port connector for charging the rechargeable battery.

Abstract
A bicycle includes a frame and an electronic security device. The frame includes a hollow space and at least one opening. The hollow space is configured within the frame. The at least one opening is configured in the frame and the at least one opening is connected to the hollow space. The electronic security device is configured such that it is accommodated within the hollow space of the frame. The electronic security device includes a retractable locking shackle configured to assume a locked position and a retracted position by moving through the at least one opening configured in the frame. The locked position of the retractable locking shackle restricts a movement of a wheel of the bicycle and the retracted position enables free movement of the wheel of the bicycle.

12. A bicycle comprising:
-
a bottom bracket operatively coupled to a rear wheel of the bicycle, the bottom bracket comprising a hollow space configured within the bottom bracket and at least one opening connected to the hollow space; and an electronic security device configured to be accommodated within the hollow space, the electronic security device comprising a retractable locking shackle configured to move through the at least one opening to assume a locked position and a retracted position based on receipt of one or more user signals from a user device, wherein in the locked position at least a portion of the retractable locking shackle is extended outwardly from the hollow space though the at least one opening to overlap with spokes of the rear wheel thereby restricting movement of the rear wheel, and wherein in the retracted position the retractable locking shackle is within the hollow space thereby not overlapping with the spokes of the rear wheel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a hollow space configured within a bottom bracket connected to a rear wheel of a bicycle; at least one opening configured in the bottom bracket, the at least one opening connected to the hollow space; and an electronic security device configured to be accommodated within the hollow space of the bottom bracket, the electronic security device comprising a retractable locking shackle configured to assume a locked position and a retracted position by moving through the at least one opening configured in the bottom bracket, wherein the locked position of the retractable locking shackle restricts a movement of a wheel of the bicycle, and the retracted position enables a free movement of the wheel of the bicycle, wherein the electronic security device further comprises a battery for providing power to the electronic security device, a worm gear, and a motor, wherein upon actuation the motor is configured to transmit rotational motion to the worm gear which in turn actuates motion of the retractable locking shackle to assume either the locked position or the retracted position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
