2. Wheel chock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_chock

   Motorcycle and bicycle chocks are bifurcated and fit around the wheel, supporting the bike and preventing its movement. The mining industry uses wheel chocks to protect lubrication trucks and heavy maintenance vehicles from slipping on off-road terrain when placed in Park. The huge haul trucks, which can weigh up to 450 tonnes (440 long tons ...

3. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

5. Motorcycle suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_suspension

   The primary goal and result of these advances were increased rear wheel travel, as measured in how far the rear wheel could move up and down. Before this period of intense focus on rear suspension performance, most off-road motorcycles had rear wheel travel of about 3.5–4 inch (9–10 cm).

6. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP. Most systems work by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat) by friction.

7. Motorcycle wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_wheel

   The Steffey motorcycle in 1902, essentially a bicycle with a two-stroke engine attached, used wooden, rims with wire spokes. [1] This style of wheel evolved into a stouter motorcycle-specific wheel, still with spokes, up to the 1960s and beyond. [2]: 134 In April, 1922, Borrani started production of motorcycle wheels with an aluminium rim. [3]
