VEHICLE WITH A SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVING A REVERSE GEAR

摘要

A vehicle (1) having a frame, at least two wheels (14,16), a straddle seat (28), a handlebar (18) with first (20) and second(22) handles, an engine (30), and a semi-automatic transmission (32). Areverse actuator (152) is electronically connected to a control unit (46)of the semi-automatic transmission. At least one shifter (108) iselectronically connected to the control unit such that moving the at leastone shifter to an up-shift position causes the control unit to send asignal to the semi-automatic transmission to shift up and moving the atleast one shifter to the down-shift position causes the control unit tosend a signal to the semi-automatic transmission to shift down. Thecontrol unit sends a signal to the semi-automatic transmission to selectthe at least one reverse gear (34) only when the reverse actuator isactuated while the at least one shifter is moved. A method of controlling asemi-automatic transmission is also disclosed.
