Patent attributes
A collision protection device on a motorized bicycle includes a catching element which is securely mounted on a frame of the motorized bicycle. The catching element includes a receptacle which is delimited by two guide sections and is open in the direction towards a front wheel of the motorized bicycle. The free ends of the guide sections pointing in the direction of travel are arranged such that they are always at a distance from the front wheel during normal riding but, in the event of a front-end collision in which the front wheel impacts on an obstacle, the front wheel is pushed into the receptacle between the free ends of the guide portions towards the frame of the motorized bicycle.
