Abstract
The system is universal and is designed to carry out the functions of supporting the vehicle, blocking against theft, recharging the battery, measuring the level of charge and transmitting control, use and other data, all automatically once the vehicle is in its resting position. The parking system comprises two ports: the “vehicle port” (1) and the “station port” (5). The “vehicle port (1)” comprises two identical parts to be installed on each side of one of the wheels of the vehicle, the vehicle being a bicycle or a motorcycle. The “vehicle port” (1) is fitted to the shaft (2) of the wheel (4) by means of a threaded hole (15). This shaft (2) passes through the bushing of the wheel (3) leaving the bicycle fork (13) in the middle. This shaft (2), may belong to the bushing (3) of the wheel (4), or be introduced separately. The “vehicle port” (1) is electrically connected to the bicycle battery or control box by means of two wires (11) to enable recharging.
